Very good reviews on these training swords and it's nice to be able to compare the weight and flexibility differences that can affect how well one can apply the techniques: The Hanwei does seem a little too flexible to me if it changes the feel of winding.
The Meyer maybe a little more of a sports fencing or equivalent to a lighter civilian sword while the Liechtenauer closer to a fighting ( war ) longsword.
I have a Liechtenauer and have used it for some practice sessions against other Liechtenauers as our group has at least 3 users/owners of a Liechtenauer.
Durability is very good since even against each other they show hardly a visible dimple after use and much less notches shallow or deep that some of our other " cheap " training swords which look more like saws after a bit of hard use.
Some of these cheap training swords are basically Windlass swords used in their unsharpened state or with edges that have been rounded by removing a bit of these swords width.
Anyway, I can confirm that durability of the Albion's is superb.
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!
