Love to get this sword, hospitaller, or Norman. Deciding on a first sword is frustrating in your 20s when the ones I want are around $1,000 plus. Plus the wait time for albion, gonna have to go with a different swordmaker for my first. Can't go 2 years with no sword when I have full armor already.

You mentioned albions competition. What companies are they? I waited almost 2 years for this sword. Obviously I don't want to wait over 10 years just to own 5 swords from albion.

I have a Gaddhjalt and combat knife, lets party in friendship.

Sword marred, you bought perfection, expect it, demand it. No excuse for that getting out in public. Need scabbards.

2 years is a joke lol

Great video tutorial but the music is atrocious.

Definitely this has a potential for a business, pimping-out swords...😅 No, I mean seriously!

That was absolutely amazing!!!

Looks great.

Just a quick question. Should a gorget be worn over or under the surcoat. Or, does it really matter? I was just wondering because I'm putting a knight's armor suit together for a rennaissnce fair in the fall. I was just curious because I want accuracy. The surcoat is plain with no symbols, or emblems. It's just a plain green surcoat. Any help would be much appreciated. God bless you and yours.

Where did you got those poplar plank wood ?

know its an older video so I dont expect an answer, but do you have a tutorial on how to wrap the belt around it the way you done it?

So, you don't want a drop of glue to be seen because it "would look too modern", and then you _deliberately_ leave the lighter sides of modern leather vissible because "it looks better"? Dude, since that *SCREAMS* _chrome-tanned_ (read: modern) _leather,_ I hope you realize you earned yourself a snark.

Where's part 4?

My problem with Depeeka swords isn't their hilts, but rather the fact the blades are ground very unevenly. This can be fixed, of course, but takes a lot of time with sandpaper and a sanding block. Still, even for that, they're at least as good, if not better, than the original swords were in their day.

Great video Matt. What color is that grip? I want to say dark brown but I know Albion’s oxblood varies considerably.

Never heard a dude complain so much in my life🤣🤣🤣

You can't guild or plate steel unfortunately and if you mean plated then it wears quickly. Better of with brass.

The Great Hall Returns!!! Glad to watch and thanks for sharing! Lots of good viewpoints and information.

Hey man nice to see you again sir. Great video about Albion in generel, i missed alot about the Templar sword it self, love your videos and i chek in every now and then you are a cool dude dont get me wrong, but this one i think you lost a little fokus to be honest. Hope to see you again soon. 🙂

I for one, would appreciate a video on Albion alternatives.

What brands are you thinking of that are competitive with albion but cheaper?

For premier sword manufacturers like Albion, it would be nice if they instituted a serial number system like Wilkinson. Albion makes swords that very well may last 100+ years. A serial number system would help prevent fakes and give owners a historical record.

I've never sold swords, but as a former retail manager I can easily see swords costing $200 more if you are working overtime to make them. I think they have realized the backlog is hurting their reputation and spending more to try to catch up. Also as a former retail manager, I suspect the "1 of 10,000" types of numbers are achieved like so: a manufacturer often makes "exclusive" appliances or products by offering one or two unique features. It is really, really easy to make 500 Templar swords, tweak the design slightly, and then each run is legally and technically "1 of 500." See also car model years.

I've said this for years, but I think the best way forward for Albion is to eliminate the wait list entirely. I'm pretty sure they have like, zero to one employee, and they are getting spotty quality because of retention, and in my opinion the psychological torture of a massive 2 year wait list. End it. for good. If someone orders a sword, make it, but disable orders until that sword is literally in the mail to the customer. Then, enable orders. Then, once another order comes in, disable the orders on the website again. Once that one's done and in the mail, no sooner, then enable the order page again. No waitlist.

Any plans to cover the Balaur Arms Templar? Also welcome back.

It bums me out, but new Albion has always pissed me off.

Has anyone else noticed how many people with sword/medi history chanels are named Matt

The “limited edition” part of their production may have been a sincere thing when they 1st started, but that boat sailed a long time ago. I wouldn’t put any credence to it.

Glad to see you again. Thanks for sharing this review.

Dude! So good to see you back!

happy to see you upload again. much love from poland

Which do feel handles better? The Templar or the Norman?

Good to see you back! So Albion aren't taking any new orders currently? I may have misunderstood you...

curious about the numbering of the swords too, that said the Albion Chieftain claymore went out of stock years ago along with some of the nicer Viking swords so they do seem to stop making them unfortunately

Wait what u alive ?

he lives!

Great Vid...love the colors...Can we use any kind of oil paint for this or wat do u prefer.....

beautiful. would love to do this with my sempach

hello love the build! I was wondering what type of stain did you use on the leather? its a beautiful tone

WD-40 for cleaning. 3-IN-1 Oil for protection. Never-Dull for polishing and/or spot removal. I own Japanese blades, and live on the North Oregon Coast. Thanks for the share!!

That great and looks fantastic, but the truth is people who buy a $150-200 Deepeeka out of necessity aren't going to have the money for supplies or equipment or the necessary skill to do what you did.

Thanks for awesome video; I own the same Albion Reeve...Black grip handle.Thanks!

Dude you are insanely talented!

" ALBION swords " a travesty to the history and techniques of European sword forging . CNC machined , cast fittings with very little human connection . That and "Albion " believe they can bestow the name "MASTER craftsman ?????? Go figure . ! Has this numb skull ever read the SONG of Rolland , the epic French poem about Rolland the detrayed Knight ? Burnished Swords .

It's an affront and a disaster to European sword making it’s, history and techniques . That and the fact “ Albion “ can award Mastership . ? ?

just received one of the Wakefield Hangers, and it is outstanding! Feels so right. DHL actually delivered one day early, so things are looking up going into 2024...👍

Looks mate. A quick point? Lower the band-saw holder for more precision. The blade won't wobble so much when lowered. :)

Why just the one rain guard?

Very nice work from start to finish!
