>>957469>but their swords are shit, and I've heard bad things about some other their other products.I dunno about that, mind you this is all anecdotal. I have the Italian Longsword which I've used and abused more than someone probably should use and abuse a sword and aside from a very slight crossguard rattle it's fine. As far as being a good longsword? Weight is fine, if ever so slightly on the heavy side, but balance is kind of off. Great for 2-handed stances but kinda wonky with a 1-handed grip. That being said, I'm pretty happy with it. It's a solid sword that has yet to lose effectiveness after nearly 3 years of abuse. I'd rate it a 3.5/5 due to rattle guard weight/balance issues. Oh also the stitching on the grip kinda digs into your fingers after a while if you're not wearing gloves.
