    Very cool to see Arms & Armor featured on the channel! I showed up at their shop once, not realizing it was a workshop, not a storefront. Cool guys.

    He's a nice guy in general, and really good with blades. I was an active member of the local HEMA club he belongs to, and he's beaten me a number of times with longswords. I also own one of Arms & Armor's daggers, their Norseman spear, and their Nordland Axe.

    Thank you for highlighting Arms and Armor! I’m a RenFaire nerd from Minneapolis so I see their booth every year. Always a highlight of the day as they are so fun to speak to..though also costly! I own three of their swords and love each one. Great video!

    Supreme. As a Mechanical Engineer, this was splendid to follow and will be extremely useful for my storyboarding. Thank you Sellsword arts. Also, the balancing part makes it obvious why it's difficult to train with a bathroom pipe though it's like 3kg.

    This just shows that you don’t need original ancient techniques to forge effective swords, and that the weapons forged partially by machines are actually better.
