A couple of days ago, my wife and I's Albions arrived. She got a Constable, and it had to be an Agincourt for myself. I am literally flabbergasted at how wonderful these swords are. The Agincourt reminds of a heron, elegant and swift while my wife's Constable feels like a badger, a mass of viciousness. Interestingly, I find that the Agincourt, despite being a bigger sword, lends itself better to single hand use, while the Constable almost demands that both hands be on it to be effective. The Agincourt is also a better cutter than I would have thought, though the Constable is better, probably because it widens out so quickly. Both are quite frankly, wonderful.
Anyway, even as I am in the head-over-heels stage of love for my current sword, I am wondering what I should get next. I'm leaning towards something complementary. As the Agincourt is a long thrusting sword, something short and cutting seems to be in order.
Any suggestions?
