Review of: Lowlander Sword with Antiqued Finish
I have been after this sword for about 20 years. I took advantage of Museum Replicas Christmas sale and bought it as a present to myself.
Assembly was easy and took less than 5 minutes. The sword has a great balance and a keen edge. I prefer it to my much shorter claymores.
Awesome centerpiece for my collection!

I was very pleased when I held this sword in hand. Very well constructed and balanced...the sheath and wax were a welcome bonus.

Review of: 15th Century Two-Handed Sword
In my early teens I was fortunate to meet one of the shaolin masters. I needed a long sword to practice my three long sword forms, and this is perfect. Chinese art utilizes many types of weapons. My tours in China, I was able to purchase iron and steel swords directly from the blacksmiths. The 15TH Century Two-Handed Sword is forged as well as any sword I own. The Hilt, which consists of the pommel, grip handle, guard cross is well made and tight. The balance is superb wielding. Every sword enthusiast would certainly not be disappointed. It will be difficult keeping it from rusting because I will be using it and having fun, not hanging on the wall. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the sword and scabbard. It comes with polishing cloth and wax.

Review of: 15th Century Two-Handed Sword
I received my sword today, a very well made and excellent hand crafted sword, the hilt is rock solid, the pommel and guard are perfect, the seam on the leather grip is almost invisible, only one very small flaw, the blade is well made, but about 1.5 inches at the tip the blade has a slight bend, otherwise a fantastic 15th century long sword, well done Windlass!

Review of: 15th Century Two-Handed Sword
This sword is excellent! The blade is stiff and plays nice in the hands. Unlike many other two-handed swords that I own. Unbeatable value for a sword of this quality! My only complaint I have is it would be hard to make it safe enough to spar with, because it is that good!

Review of: Hanwei/ Tinker Sharp Longsword
This is a fantastic sword! It is plainly adorned, but very strong. The edge is sharp and made to be used. The balance is excellent and it is very nimble for such a large blade. Great thrusting profile and wicked cutter. It also looks great hung on the wall.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
An excellent weapon. At first I was daunted that there were no reviews but upon further research I found nothing but positive reviews. The blade is surprisingly thick and from what I have seen can take quite the beating. It is just flexible enough not to break, but if you don’t prefer your swords being flexible, it is also very sturdy. I haven’t seen any time where it bent other than when I was actively trying, which took a lot of effort! It has a beautiful design, if a bit simple, but I think that adds to the authenticity and overall longevity. If you were also looking at the antiqued varient, I would warn that it is only a finish, so if you sharpen or maintenance the blade it will rub off. I think this blade is an impressive height, and just about the longest you can go without looking gaudy. I was glad that I bought this sword and not a longer one, because I think it approaches the upper range regarding the ability to actually use it properly. It’s weight is not to be underestimated, and it’s balance is perfect for its use. My only warning is... learn how to properly swing it! If you think you know how, think again! I hurt my shoulder with a bad swing, but that user error could have easily been avoided by reading a couple of paragraphs!

Review of: Hanwei/ Tinker Sharp Longsword
Great sword for the price. Just getting into sword collecting, and this is one of the first real swords I have bought. Been picking it up everyday since I bought it Even done some real hitting practice with it, and the blade is holding up nicely. One negative, which I knew before buying was the sharpness. It states sharp Longsword, but it could be a little bit more sharper. Overall - love it.
