Hi guys,

Here's a review of my XVIIIa longsword I sent out to Dave Rawlings of the London Longsword Academy for a review. Dave is a very experienced HEMA instructor and very familiar with high end swords. Nothing better than hearing feedback from someone who knows what he is talking about. Very helpful and I will make sure to incorporate the feedback on the next piece.

There has been some misunderstanding about the price but that was cleared up.

The second review, also of the same sword, was made by Peter Smallridge of the also London-based Waterloo Sparring group. This review is in written form and also contains some cutting.

Thanks for looking,

The second review is now online as well. You can find it here: https://hemanews.com/2016/05/19/review-longsword-by-lukas-mg/

I also edited the first post to reflect that.

Thanks for the comment.

Personally, I have zero issues with uncomfortable edges on that pommel but that is just that, personal experience. It certainly doesn't hurt to hear another opinion on it.

I'm keeping you posted, don't worry ;) The lack of replies can be a bit disappointing but I've already noted that this is the norm here and doesn't mean people aren't seeing it or don't appreciate the post.

Good reviews. I've admired your swords in other threads and I'm glad that your work is getting out there. There's a lot to be said for clean, elegant designs combined with performance.
