The sword tests that I'm referring to in the video:

Abusive testing of the Albion Gaddhjalt - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SZg7FPajdk
Abusive testing of the Albion Berserkr - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epm4hy_zxQQ
Cutting / wood chopping with Feanor's Sword by Darksword Armory - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI8GHY0O1Sk

When a reproduction of a historical weapon is advertised as "functional" or "battle-ready" it is only fair to see how it does against hard targets as well, rather than just water bottles and cardboard. In the video I explain why in more detail.
