3 New Albion Swords

Just to touch base with you, I have a quick question for you. I always enjoy and appreciate the feedback that I get, and I want to make sure that I’m making videos that (hopefully) you’ll find interesting and entertaining.

I want to see it all dude. Reviews, comparisons, test cuts. Everything. Regardless of your knowledge or skill level, any video about swords, especially albions, is worth watching. I'm planning on eventually purchasing one for my kwn collection. Still not sure which one though, so the more info out there on them, the better. Looking forward to seeing whatever you decide to upload about those 3 beauties....

[Danthar]

More content from you is always great, do reviews, do cutting tests, anything you like! I and I am sure others will be eagerly awaiting.

[petitloup]

I would like to see scabbard builds for these beauties

[petitloup]

But reviews and cutting tests would be awesome too!

[zenhydra]

There honestly aren't enough reviews and independent opinions about Albion swords, especially when considering the depth of their catalog. Please review these blades, and provide cutting videos if feasible for you. Edit: How about separate sword reviews, and then a comparison video?

[aaronsmith]

The Albion duke is interesting, I’d love to hear a review and how she handles. I love war swords :)

[Strigoil]

As you say there are a few people out there who review Albions, but I don't think we can have too many individual opinions about these type of blades, you should definitely throw yours in there, as well as cutting videos. Also congrats on some great blades! glad to see the Sovereign finally arrived, and that Templar is an absolute beauty!

[Leubast]

Whatever it is, wear your armour while doing so.

Highly interesting would be how the edges hold up after some rounds of slow technical sharp sparring. But I think they were more collection items for you rather than tools and it would hurt a lot for you to see them scratched up. But I think there are a lot of practitioners who find it one of the more interesting points in a review than an individual description of the handling-impression.

I really love the aesthetics of the Oakeshott type XIV and Albion's type XIV's are the best looking, imo. The Sovereign is especially beautiful with that graceful double fuller and brass pommel. I would not mind videos on all three of your Albion swords including historical significance, cutting, dimensions, feel in the hand, etc. Someday I hope to own some Albion swords though I don't know which one I would choose first.

[danielpowers]

Please do more reviews and comparisons! Currently building a scabbard for my Albion Crecy based on your tutorials.

[bradholmes]

Hi Matt, Comparison, different uses for each, why you choose those three. Make scabbards for each.

[ThePhrozenPhoenix]

Reviews and cutting tests, please. Despite what you think, there’s definitely not enough of these specifically for Albion swords for us to oogle over lol

[kieranlock]

A comparison vid would not be fair as they are arming blades and cutting tests and the rest would go to the duke as the longsword. However id live to see a cutting test of sorts or individule reviews

[Lunanzar]

I could watch you make scabbards forever so those would be a cool video. Also since they’re three different types maybe highlight the differences for somebody who has to pick one Albion and is stuck making a hard decision. Keep up the great work

[cloudcleaver]

Any reviews on Albions are welcome. The Internet is full of reviewers, but new perspectives never hurt, and items as expensive as Albions rarely actually get reviewed even in a "saturated" market. Given how broad Albion's catalog is, it's often the case that there simply *is* no review for a given model.

[nimitz]

I ordered an Albion Bayeux 9 months ago and it just know shipped.

[kalaitzidis]

Yes to all the above! Quick question where did you get the sword block stand? That is an awesome way to display a sword!

[matthewcooper]

Hi there, new subscriber. I would definitely want to see some test cutting with all of them and a comparison between them. Especially the Sovereign. It's very short but has an incredibly wide blade, so it would be very interesting to see how it compares.

[dustdustjb]

Compare handeling with preferance. Maybe throw some history or thoughts about why blade shape, weight and size are what they are for time period ...just my thoughts. Theyre beautiful swords btw.
