Congrats!!! that is a great piece! Thanks for showing it to us ( there are not many good video review of the Albion sword in YT) I had the carbon steel Windlass/Marto 2 years ago, but I was disappointed with the quality and also it was too much maintenance because I live in a tropical area.
Duuuuude … that was a great video! Thanks for sharing / showing off that badass blade. It looks incredible, seems like a real high quality replica. That sword design is so good, double sided edge with the long groove down the middle. That’s technically called a “fuller” it’s to lighten & also strengthen the blade. Also called a “blood groove”. Sadly you never waxed it or let it taste some blood.. why not? 😅 I like how if used it can be wielded double handed with a hand above the pommel to thrust deeper or aid in pulling out of the body of your enemy.. Crom count the dead! The story about your mom was funny, she caught you playing with your sword. Lol I’d say you 100% should be buried with that sword OR have it sent to me and I then I will know The Riddle Of Steel ;) It’s such a nice piece you may want to put it a glass case display. Seeing it regularly will strengthen you.. you may not be Conan but you can be CORN-AN !! ⚔️

Wow get out. Maybe it feels heavy bc of the length. Thanks bro! I have to head back and check out the site. I’m gonna send Mike an email like you suggested.
