Medieval Sword Tests 5 of 5
The final phase of comparative side by side sword testing on the Valiant Armory Kriegschwert, Hanwei (Tinker Pearce) Longsword and Darksword Armory Black Prince and Archers Sword.
Each sword was tested on a steel pole, and all actually held up extremely well. Swords were then tested edge to edge, with the Kriegschwert and the Tinker Pearce Longsword proving to be slightly harder steel than the Black Prince and Archers sword, which was something of a surprise.
