Sword Showdown! NEW Honshu Italian Longsword vs OLD Balaur Arms Italian Longsword

#sword #review #medieval

In this video I review the new Honshu Historic Forge 15th Century Italian Longsword, doing a ton of comparisons to the older version of this sword, the Balaur Arms 15th Century Italian Longsword, both made by the same manufacturer. Is the new Honshu sword one of the best budget swords out there? Watch the video to find out!
