Hi Everyone,
I am a new member, and new and aspiring sword collector as well. I hope to get to know all of you better in the upcoming months. I presently only own one sword, it is from Ritter Steel, I suppose it was a mistake to buy it as it is very handle heavy, and blunt as a butter knife and cost me about $300.00, over which I am still rather sore. Anyhow, on to lighter topic, I have a question I want to ask those of you who are more experienced with different manufacturers and also experienced in discerning excellent functional swords from not so great functional swords. Now, before I ask the question, I am well aware that both Angus Trim and Albion are high end manufacturers, however, I wish to know which has that which I seek. I would like an excellent cutting sword that still has decent thrust capabilities. The sword should have excellent edge retention and durability, I am aware AT has this which is why I am leaning toward Angus Trim. Currently, I am in the process of deciding between the Angus Trim AT-1433 War Sword, and the Crecy from Albion respectively. Any advice you guys would have will be helpful, I am very new to this hobby, but I do intend to pursue it. I do not wish to spend over $900.00 at this point, so if you have other suggestions, please keep it within range. Thank you all in advance, and I appreciate your support and time.

Keep in mind that Angus Trim is a more 'pure' cutting sword, while Albion, at least the Next Generation line, has more emphasis on scrupulously historically accurate fittings. I'm pretty sure that most AT swords are a good deal cheaper, last time I checked, anyway.

The emphasis is not just on fittings, but also on blade geometries, proportions, and mass distribution. Historically accurate in all details.
