For people like me who have... less than stellar funds, videos like this are *massively* appreciated

Big thanks, Shad!

I wonder if shads wife has to do a double take when she looks through the finances and sees a bunch of charges from “romance of men”

[HatsuruHitoYT]

Petition to have a video where fans submit their own fantasy sword designs and you rate them.

You should show the worst expensive swords too

Edit - I don't mean go buy them more like show what they got, not necessarily expensive but worst price to quality ratio. But also on what you're getting, obviously i movie replica wall hanger will be expensive and a bad sword but it fits what it's trying to. But if a sword is trying to be sword and sucks then that's bad. Like how the traditional expensive katana could be much better with modern material and technique but it's meant to be traditional so it fits what it's meant to

I don't know if anyone else will find it as amusing as I do, but Shad's original review of the Deepeeka Phillipe IV sword is on the Cult of Athena page for the sword.

Its actually pleasantly surprising how many decent swords are available at cheaper prices! I myself got a viking era 5 pronged sword from Windlass, about 200 bucks, and ive had it for a year or so and am still very happy with it! Good flex, good tang construction, and good handling

[reactionaryprinciplegaming]

The quality of affordable swords increased because of people like you; now, consumers have more information and they won't go for the cheap wall hangers as much. Sword making companies had to adapt.

[Totsy]

I feel like the Balaur arms Alexandria sword and/or Kriegsmesser must be in the best mid-range swords. They’re both beautiful swords for the price. I just got the Balaur 15th century Italian longsword and it’s been great as well

[Jackalx]

As a gun guy who also loves swords and medieval stuff, I'd love to see some bayonet-related content from y'all!

Here is the usual full support for channel growth. Maybe in a few years I will be able to start sword collecting and practice. Channels in the Community of the Sword has made me really interested in things like HEMA, LARP, stage acting, and all of that.

I swear by my Ronin Katana Longsword. Theres also a great online katana shop called Hanbon forge, where you can customize anything from a wakizashi to a Odachi. They start at $100 for basic non tempered blades, and can go upwards past $1000 if you want it traditional made. I own 3 of them, one untempered, and 2 others tempered that cost me around $300. They are BEAUTIFUL swords for the price, and you can get them sharp or unsharpened.

Thanks guys! For us folks in a tight budget (to say the least) videos like this are helpful!!

[Mesousa]

Somewhere in America, a drunken Coach McGuirk is watching this, mumbling to himself, "swords... need to buy... swords..."

[spencerthestupidsamurai]

I got Romance of Men’s Enma replica with the Surudoi spring steel blade. It is incredible.

[WhiteApeMA]

Good assortment of affordable swords. All of them seem well made for the price.
Those spring steel katanas particularly amazed me. You literally couldn't even break them. Wow!

[justsomeguy]

Thanks for the video Shad. Swordflation is hitting hard.

[ramzen]

Now it's time for 5 cheap but Quality Nunchucks.

[EpicJasonX]

I honestly like to see you cover gold bladed swords since it’s rarely ever covered on your show. Like what is the best & most durable sword where the gold blade can last the longest. Plus, it would be a nice change of pace given how rare these type of swords are covered on this show. The inspiration behind this suggestion comes from the very 1st sword I loved as a kid: Peter Pan’s Gold Sword from Hook (1991).

[alexanderm]

You need to do a Shad line of swords! Have Tyrinth make them customizable like he prefers! I've wanted a Hanwei Tinker Bastard Sword for a while now but his comment about the tang is giving me second thoughts.

As of now, the ETA from the manufacturer on the Phillippe IV is 2-3 months....
