Haha thanks for all of the input guys! I ended up buying the Kreigschwert from Valiant Armoury. All black. Can't wait. Now if only someone will buy the swords I'm selling :P

I'd love a Valiant, but I'm not sure I can shell out over $400 on one. I'll keep checking the classifieds. Maybe I'll just set me sights a bit higher and wait longer. VA's look like infinitely better in every aspect.

Yeah, I'm looking for something I can take out and cut stuff with. I'm also hoping that it's not gonna dent if I hit the wooden stand. Is H/T gonna do the trick? Also, where do I buy Valiant Armoury swords? It seems to me like KoA and SBG no longer have them. And the VA website isn't working properly on my computer so I can't really see the prices on them :P Forgive me if I'm wrong, but VA models are gonna be more in the $350-$500 range right?

Sounds like I'd be better off sticking with the H/T line. Having a nice scabbard isn't worth having an unusable sword I suppose.

Hello fellow sword enthusiasts,
The time when I will be able to purchase a sword is nearly upon us. So, do you think it'd be better to start with Ronin's Euro sword line, or the time tested Hanwei/Tinker line of medieval swords? I'm really torn, because the belt/suspension system and scabbard are epic on the RK Euro sword, but everyone says that the blades are awesome on the H/T swords. Anyone know if the RK Euro swords are comparable in construction to the H/T swords? Any advice or input is appreciated. Thanks all!

Does anyone know where I can can buy a piece of 1045 carbon steel or 5160 spring steel for $20-$40 in Ohio? I've called multiple steel companies, and there charging $80-$130 for a piece of 1045 carbon steel that's 1/4" thick, 2" wide and 42' long... Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh. Bushido, I just saw your review of the Norman Sword. Thanks for posting that, I feel stupid for not seeing it before. lol! Well, I think the practical line should do the trick then! Thanks! If anyone else has reviews of the Hanwei practical line let me know! Thanks!

Thanks for your quick response. I have checked those swords out but I can't find a good review on any of them except for the viking sword.

Hi there guys! I need a sword that is suitable for reenacting with a blade that will hold up to the rigors of reenacting and theatrical use. Any suggestions for sub $200 swords would be Appreciated. Thanks, Haka
