Part1: Antiquity & Early Middle Ages
• Which Sword Should You...
Part 2: Medieval & Renaissance
• Which Sword Should You...
This is a mini series of recommendations, to answer this common question. These are reproductions that I either have personal experience with, have seen positive reviews of, or can suggest based on other designs from the same maker.
Separated into era as well as price range (budget / mid range / high end). Part 2 is about non-European swords as well as fantasy and "tactical" designs. I also included some bloopers / outtakes for fun.
