You say in the video that the length is 31", but the stats above say 27.95". Which is it, please? Also, the spring steel one does not appear to be on your website.
When you do your videos, might I suggest you refer to the model number of the swords you are reviewing?
As a casual observation, looks like you are on the right track, but still need to work on the blade profile and fuller width (blade seems a bit thin in profile and the fuller does, too). What would really be great is if you can eliminate the ridge from the end of the fuller to the point!

If both are the same size, why is the spring steel one so much heavier? Looks like the fuller size is different, but it also looks a bit thicker/wider at the tip, is this correct? I would maybe add a measurement of the blade thiickness and width closer to the tip.

We are now updating the website, so no more new products uploading for the time being, but just excited to find a place to share this new one. Thanks for your advice. that's how we make the sword great again.

I would maybe add a measurement of the blade thiickness and width closer to the tip. yes, the thickness is different, the spring steel is around 1cm, but the pattern steel is 0.8cm.

I shopped on your ebay site, and found many that I thought were pretty cool. BUT....no weights on anything. And the choppers (machete - elven fantasy things) look HEAVY

I would go with the pattern steel one. Is it pattern welded? Hard to tell. The end of the fuller for the one displayed for most of the video doesn't look right to me, shouldn't it be uniform thickness the whole length of the blade? It would be helpful to know what the carbon concentration of your "spring steel" is, and whether you actually spring temper it, or if it's just a marketing name. The 800g one actually sounds a bit light, weren't they usually 1000g-1500g? Otherwise they look nice, but I wouldn't buy one without the right fuller!
