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.

In addition to glaring fit and finish issues and a four year wait time with almost no communication, there was a serious problem with the heat treatment. The fit and finish on my sword from Fable Blades is perfect. Brendan is capable of creating some extremely difficult blade geometries as well as some of the most beautiful furniture ( fittings ) I've ever seen.

feel like with a lot of these you'd be better off just buying a higher end machete (only like 80-100 bucks usually) if you want something cheap that cuts well, unless you specifically want a shortsword for the additional decorative purposes. Though, even some modern machetes have a bit of a 'archaic' look to them.

I've found a severe lack of good, accurate reproductions of Turkish, Iranian or Indian swords on the market (and many others, but those are relevant to my collection) apart from customs. Wish they existed but the affordable repros are generally quite terrible. Non-euro swords need more love.
@SeemsLogical 3 жыл бұрын
It's not just their swords but their history itself that gets overlooked. India was a formidable nation in the times of Ghengis Khan but we really only see India show up in western history books or video games after they were "colonized" by the British. Matt Easton showcases a lot of historical Indian weaponry on his channel. India had their own unique maces, sabers and axes and they had whip swords (the oldest sword ever) and then they had the pata. The interest is there but you're right, they are unrepresented in the reproduction market. You do get a little bit of Iranian culture showing up when the Iranian ancestors, the Persians, fought the Greeks and Turkey is known for their ancestors in the Ottomans. You may find a small collection of their weapons done by Universal Swords or possibly Cold Steel but you're right. The choices are slim (1-2 options) or none at all. Which is a shame. Lots of uncharted territory in that market.

@marxbruder 3 жыл бұрын
For 19th/20th century you can often get an original sword for the same price as a high quality medieval reproduction. Modern swords are a little more complicated, though, because those originals are often pretty low quality (military contracts, given to the lowest bidder) and the modern repros are typically not as well made as a good medieval one. You won't really find a 19th century dueling saber for the same quality as an Albion, for example. In my experience, 18th century swords onwards are build for reenactors who need something pretty, durable, and blunt/safe. I'd suggest checking out the "modern" swords section of Kult of Athena. It's a decent selection and pretty representative of what is available more broadly.

I have the APOC cutlass and it handles nicely. Haven't done tatami cutting, but I have tried it against fallen trees and it came through unscathed. The balance is similar to a historical cutlass or hanger, and can easily be used with sport and dueling saber or single-stick techniques (probably messer, too, but I am less familiar with that weapon). My only problems with it are the "guard", which is squared metal with fairly sharp corners, and the edge, which out of the box was barely present. To be fair, though, the one I got was a "show piece" CAS used to display the sword at conventions and it had already been abused when I got it. I can also second the recommendation for the Tod Cutler daggers. I have the bollock dagger with the Kult of Athena sharpening service. The edge isn't shaving sharp, but that type of dagger is a thruster and it has a wicked point and a very stiff spine. I wouldn't feel safe against it even with rivetted mail. The scabbard is simple stitched leather, but better than the scabbards that come with most daggers on the market. If in the market for a dagger, Tod Cutler is the first and only maker I would recommend.

As someone who loves swords and fencing style from the 17th to 19th century, I'm a bit sad that replicas of those were not part of this overview, even replaced by fantasy weapons. 😅 It is true that especially for 19th century sabres, cutlasses, spadroons it is possible to get your hands on reasonably priced originals, but then again you generally don't want to use antiques for sparring or cutting (also because many were not service sharpened or had become dull with use, especially given the steel scabbards commonly used in that period).

I very much enjoyed this video and I was excited to see the Tactical Cutlass. I have an original Angus Trim version, but he called it a Tactical Cuttoe, so getting the Tactical Cutlass would give me a match. Or so I thought. The shape is the same, the length is the same, and the APOC grip slabs are better. But the Atrim Cuttoe has distal taper and is very noticeably lighter, better balanced, and more nimble. The APOC blade would be worth the extra cost had they gone to the effort to remove some of the meat and actually follow the entire Atrim blade design and not just the superficial appearance.

Hey skall there are a bunch of Chinese made traditionally forged Japanese swords being sold on amazon and I was wondering if it would be interesting to check them out. You seem to have warmed up to Japanese swords and some of them (the main brands I’ve seen are Handmade Sword and Shi jian), and I think you should include more budget Japanese swords due to how common they are on the market. Love the videos

Check out the Ronin katana annual scratch and dent sale! I think it's still going on, perfectly good swords with literally a single scratch going for a third or more off.

Was gonna buy the first one but it's already off sale and backed up 🤬

Damn, sorry about that. I bought one about two months back, it's basically a monstrously thick machete that comes shaving sharp out the box.

Consumer Reports doesn't do reviews on swords. Thankfully, we have you, Skall.🐻

I long since want the Cobra Steel Kinjal, but every time i check CoA homepage it´s sold out. The Zombie Tools all look fantastic, but they are hella pricey. Yes, there is a wide range of ramblings. But the outtakes are always fun to watch because of that.

It should be mentioned that the prices shown for the Longship Armoury swords are the 50% deposit, that Anklebiter costs more than an Albion Soldat and almost as much as an Albion Maximilian....

@@Skallagrim It took me a while as well when I checked out the Anklebiter a while back. "Whoa, 750 is steep for that thing.... Wait a minute... 1500? OK, I'm out."

Please add more outtakes at the end in the future xD
