​@medievalreview still watching in 2023!

I'm curious about your decision not to wear the belt and scabbard for the camera. It's interesting to see how high swords/belts sit on the hips and waist. Also, it would be nice to see the angle and how easily it can be drawn from the scabbard given the way it will naturally rest. I like your vids though.

Great video! Very informative. Would this sword hold up if I were just to swing it around and chop water bottles? I had bought a sword in the past and simply cutting a thin stick broke it. Thanks for the information.

I'm usually a United cutlery or Valyrian steel sword collector but for this i may just pick up, this sword is amazing.

Great review! I am looking for an arming sword, functional but mainly for solo drills and practice! can you suggest/recommend one (or another video you have) Many Thanks

I was looking for a 1H or 1-1/2H wep that's both functional and looks good. Where do you recommend we go to look for better made functional swords?

How would you maintain the wire wrapped around the leather to prevent rust without affecting the leather.?

Was wondering about your sword display? Did you make it or buy it? Been looking for somthing like this to show off a few of my swords!? Thank you! Lov the vidz!

Love your reviews!

Great review! What is your source for that music in the background?

Please review the Gallowglass I love that sword!

I too just got this sword and I was also unhappy with the separation between the handle and the blade, same with the leather ring on the sheath it is also very heavy on the blade. All in all I do like it because I too like Templar’s. They can’t all be perfect but it was a little too pricey. I would suggest if u are not that into Templar’s a nice functional arming sword would be the way to go. I may eventually grab another more functional arming sword but my next one will be a Viking sword.

I really like your cinematography skills with the slider your use of the Parallax effect you did with the pommel and the tapestry in the background was outstanding! However your slider and pan technique is not as smooth as it should be. Try shooting your slider and panning footage in 60fps because makes everything so much smoother. Keep it up! And nice sword review. You're the only person I see with this much professionalism to the cinematography in their sword review videos.

Cine Circuit keep an eye out for the next video posted... I've got some good stuff to make this all even better.

Any videos on how this sword cuts

I would have given personally a four out of five. You are spot on with the not needing the sheath and the belt adding to the price. In my mind though having destroyed a metal filing cabinet with this specific blade I know without a shadow of a doubt it will handle the stress and abuse. Great on the thrust does not penetrate deep but does not buckle due to the blade thickness and cuts hard. The peened pommel never moved it is still solid. The thing that did get tweeked was the wire wrapped handle uncoiled or loosened so I have long since done away and used a braided leather cord. Henceforth the four out of five, only knocking it for the price point having included an unneeded belt sheath combo.

+David Webb perhaps destroyed is too descriptive of a word. I should say it bit into and penetrated the filing cabinet walls with little difficulty. It is in the case with this specific blade built strong enough to handle that with no structural issues. Now blade on blade contact is a whole different beast. of course you could do it but you would be greatly reducing the life span. Ruining the edge, putting great torque on the tang and shoulders of the blade etc. You could but I would not recommend it. It is not built like a waster.

Im getting this my father for his 50th birthday, he is a free-mason Templar. I think it will fit in well with his Mason badges and rings. He did have a ceremonial sword that he gave back to the lodge.

"The poor brother knights of Solomon's temple" was their original name

Where can i get the sword stand used in this video??

one thing that you failed to mention and probly didnt know is that the gaurd and pommel are plated. there actuly made of copper. witch explains why it seems blade heavy

Could you tell me how this sword's belt functions? It's not like other sword belts.

@medievalreview

Yes there are actually a few ways to wear, it. A video on their website was one way on the waist. But it can also be worn lower off the waist and on the upper thigh. Either way the belt design allows for the sword to be a little out of the way of you arms and at enough of an angle that it neither sticks out, or is straight up and down.

Thanks for the review, very informative and goes over exactly what i was looking for in a review that i couldn't find on MRL or Windlass. My hubby is fascinated by both history and specifically the Templars. We've recently gotten into playing D&D and are planning on going to the local Renaissance fair this fall; and we'll he's mentioned and started looking at swords. I decided that as a birthday/christmas gift I'd get him a sword this year and decided to research swords rather than going for "cheap and good looking". Knowing my Hubby, looks and functionality shoudl go hand and hand, as i know that he wont be able to resist taking a sword out in the yard and giving it a trial run XD The look itself is perfect, its plain enough to represent the humbleness that the Templars lived, but ornate enough to hit on all of the recognizable associations to the organization. Are there any other Templar sword you might recommend, that look good enough for display but also retain functionality? I like this sword, but i'm still shopping around before settling on a purchase and have plenty of time before December XD

The Answer to this is hard since price range plays a lot into it. I think for a unique and somewhat ornate sword, The Accolade is a great choice. but you can also get time period specific "crusaders" swords, but they aren't likely to find the same balance of aesthetics and functionality. If say you should just browse KultofAthena.com and see what is out there.

I have had this sword for a few yesrs now and it was worth every penny.

Jared Kirk I suspect the reason this feels blade heavy is because it has virtually non-existent distal taper. According to your stats, it loses only 0.1mm from base to tip. From what I know, no Windlass swords are made with distal taper, and in my opinion this is what will always keep them from handling and performing correctly.

@conall7030

I prefer lesser distal tapers because they give a more solid heavy swing. I can't speak for everyone though, I just know I have difficulty swinging my friend's blade properly because the weight doesn't feel as evenly distributed with a distal taper.

My thoughts in seeing the belt and scabbard in your video Would be that they aren't even necessary for this period I would replace that in a heartbeat and I would not wear it anywhere until I had replaced it. It looks cheap and I think the gap around the crossguard on the crossguard really has always bugged me. I have a friend that I would have make this sword and he would charge me somewhere probably between $1200-1400. I would have to wait longer probably over a year but I guarantee I would be happier with the scabbard the belt and the sword. And he would include all the bells and whistles that are on this 1 if I asked him to. I think what they wanted to do was to make a sword that lived up to 2 different standards. One decorative and 1 functional.. My question is whether they succeeded succeeded in functionality already and I would have to put it in my hand for a while to see what I thought

Nice review. I also like Templars and have had my eye on this sword for a while but have been hesitant to pull the trigger on it. It always looks a little too ceremonial for a sword that a Templar would actually carry. One that I am trying to talk myself into getting is the Arn Sword by Albion. To me it's more like what I would imagine a Templar carrying. The only thing that keeps me from getting it is the statement by Albion "Please note: Film Swords recreations are NOT intended for use as a weapon". Do you have any experience with it? I'm not sure why they would make this statement being that it's made from good steel, is peened, sold sharp and seems to be built just like any other Albion sword.
