Happy to see that you also got to bathe in the glory of the Lockwood 1019B. It's easily one of the best longswords on the market... the handling and cutting performance are a totally different level.

I'm surprised the CS blade even made it through the mat, with that atrocious edge bevel. But it's obvious how much you had to muscle it through. The center of percussion is awfully low.

Yup... the piece of mat falling almost straight down on the first cut with the 1019B, that's what I expected. :) Beautiful follow-up cuts too, nice 'n clean.

Great review! Lots of detail and info, without getting repetitive or boring.

It's not about the edge sharpness, it's about the powerful runes you put on it.

D is exactly the kind of guy who both owns a longsword and just casually has a Magic card in his pocket.

[SamueruKum]

How the lockwood made that first cut was almost fantasy. Absolutely no resistance at all. The kind of stuff you find in movies xD Great vid, man!

[autofox.]

You sir did more to explain to me, being a sword novice, the difference in a quality sword and a cheep one, than any one I have saw on the net. I now have a reason to save my money for my next toy! 😂

[Toshikills]

Wow, the way he cut through the mat with the Lockwood sword! You could see how little effort D was using, and he cleaved through them like a kenjustu master. I've never seen a more impressive showcase of a sword.

The reason late medieval European swords such as the long sword flex is because heavier armour was more common in Europe. If the sword didn’t flex it’s more likely to break on impact if you mistakenly strike a stronger part of armour

I spent a hundred bucks on a Work Sharp belt sharpener and an extra belt kit. That $100 bought me a lifetime of satisfactory edges on budget swords :)

I have a Lockwood leaf blade. Took two years and $2500. It BETTER be real after all that!😂
Edit: YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT LOCKWOOD IS TERRIBLE ABOUT GETTING BACK TO YOU IN A TIMELY MANNER. He quoted eight months, and I didn’t hear from him for over a year. When I did, he said he needed 10 more weeks. About 15 weeks later, I had to threaten him with the prospect of an attorney contacting him before he replied. Then I was told another 10 weeks. And about 18-20 weeks after that, I heard it was almost done. He gave me another delivery date of about five days before he would be ready to ship. Guess what. A week after that date had come and gone, I finally had a shipping confirmation from UPS. The man is atrocious at following up with customers AFTER they’ve paid. Before that, he’s phenomenal about replying to all messages. Once he’s got your money, he is very hard to get ahold of. I love his work, and I would be extremely ready to pay the man many more thousands of dollars, but everything that comes with his sales, make it just too much of a frustration.

I own the CS Italian longsword, myself. I also have Hanwei, TInker, Gus Atrim, Angel Sword, and Valiant. You can sharpen the CS and get it paper-slicing sharp without too much effort. Yeah, the balance isn't as good as a sword that cost 10x the amount...but the Man-at-arms is certainly not a wall-hanger.

D knows his stuff, i didn’t know much about swords but this video gives great insight for them. Keep it up, would love to see more

[ConnorPriola]

Damn, when you were manipulating the Lockwood sword, it looked like a machine with how stationary the tip was. Nice vid!

[mrglasses]

Now you have to test $2000 longsword vs $2000 katana

[DragonstarFighter]

When i contacted the company i found out (according to them) that it is infact 1090, but but the 1065 of the normal italian longsword is heat treated, and then tempered, this is not, and the powder on the blade, if you feel a reap amount of it, is waxy in consistency, may be part of moisture absorption or anti-rusting measures

[naruomi]

I rather Japanese nihonto but I can’t lie after watching this video you for some reason make me feel as if I’ve been held in a chokehold to choose the long sword. This is an amazing review.

[naruomi]

When he cuts those tatami mats on what seems like a rooftop I would like to imagine that every time he does that the other people from the other buildings just watch him awkwardly as he’s going those B rolls.

[Bob-qkzg]

I am impressed. As an old fencer, I rarely find anyone with a love of swords or swordplay. You did very good! You've got skills. 🤺⚔️

[reproducable]

great entertaining script derived from a knowledgeable source. brilliant production as usual! would love to see you do a review on one of those long straight japanese tuna knives. (katana knife?) always thought they looked super cool.

[BlueMagicONISUPERNOVA]

I’ve always respected long swords as a katana collector, but that lockwood sword just made me look at them in a whole new way. That sword was extremely perfect and beautiful the reactions it was getting out me, well no katana has ever made me react the way I did to that longsword.

Definitely gonna start buying these more and seeing how nice they can really get myself.
