Review of: Battlecry Bosworth Longsword
This was a late (because it was backordered) Christmas present from my wife and I could not be more pleased!
Huge longsword, but wonderfully weighted so that it feels great in the hand (one or two).
I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a battle-ready longsword!
It is a killer and I bought the Crecy War Dagger to go with it.

Review of: Battlecry Bosworth Longsword
I had long been struggling with purchasing this sword. I love the design, but was not a fan of the blackened look. My answer....I got it and strpped all the blackening off the blade, guard and pommel. Then polished all to a mirror finish. It's not an easy task. It took two days to complete, but it is now a jewel in my collection. Light, well balanced, well constructed. Very happy with the purchase. I just wished Windlass offered these in non-blacked versions. Highly recommend, stripped or blackened.

This is one incredible and fast sword! After owning it for some time I came to the conclusion that this is one of the best swords you can purchase at this price, especially for this blade style!

Review of: Battlecry Bosworth Longsword
Large greatsword, but so well-balanced as to feel relatively light in the hand. Also pleased with the scabbard and frog that came with the sword. Everything of excellent quality. I bought the Agincourt dagger as a companion piece (although I wish they had a larger dagger to go with the Bosworth Longsword!)

Review of: The Sword Excalibur
Beautiful sword ! The hand crafted hilt and etching design of the dragon Crest and shield is perfect. Worthy of the true king Arthur himself. This is perfect for my bedding and fits great on my right hip.

If you love the longsword you need this one in your armoury. It is ready to go out of the box and handles like a dream. I removed the black finish from the blade and it looks beautiful against the black hilt. Please make more swords like this!

Review of: The Freedom Fighter Early Scottish Claymore
This sword is impressive. I received this as a Christmas gift. I was and still am blown away.
It greatly exceeded my expectations. I handled the braveheart claymore previously. The leather was a brighter tan color. The blade stock seemed thinner.
This freedom fighter version has a lovely darker leather on the handle and ricasso. The pommel and cross guard also seem antiqued in person. The combined affect is one of gorgeous class.
The sword was sharpened by mrl, and is a calvary dicing razor. I have not cut with it yet, but I can update the review if possible once I try it on the pill, bottles, etc.
It's a heavy sword, obviously, and stats list point of balance out at 11 inches. There is historical precedence for this sword, it's just not historically called a claymore. Point of balance probably should be more around 5 or 6, maybe even 7 inches from crossguard.
11 is a bit far comparing to other examples of this sword. However, I am able to wield this in one hand. It is more comfortable with two hands. It excels and I believe was designed by windlass to use one hand on grip and one on the leather wrapped ricasso.
In this fashion you can "half sword" and really make this blade move! This is how I have been practicing forms with it. A horse killing sword when swung from the grip. Half swording in the crush of battle. The balance falls to the handle on the ricasso.
Again, I can say enough how beautiful this replica is. Tight fitting, well constructed with a good temper. The blade is flexible but plenty rigid.
Windlass has done very well and the details on the cross guard and pommel are exquisite.

Looks awesome! I ordered it on a whim and actually like it more than Orcrist. It looks really amazing. It’s a beautiful sword and sturdy. Well worth the price.
