Reviewing my custom sword from Art of Swordmaking/Maciej Kopciuch

#sword #medieval #review

This is my overly long review of a sword I commissioned from Art of Swordmaking aka Maciej Kopciuch. My inspiration for this sword was a piece of period Medieval art, and I think Mr. Kopciuch did a great job nailing the look of the sword compared to the artwork. But how does the sword perform? Is there really an hour's worth of topics to cover in this review? Yes.
