- Review of Windlass Royal Armouries Collection 14th century arming sword, an exact replica of the "TOTO" sword from the Royal Armouries in Leeds, made as a collaboration between Windlass, the Royal Armouries and Matt Easton. Check out this short follow up where I show the process of replacing the grip wrap ( • Replacing a cord and l... ).

Nice review. I got this same sword, It is very nice. All the imperfections you comment is what a hand forged blade should have!
Great review, got to have one!! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I just ordered one today.
It is a frickin' awesome sword. Enjoy it !
Very detailed review exposing every aspect of this sword. Everything seems to be in line with what I have observed on Windlass' recent collaboration work with Matt Easton. Great measurements and study of the antique, and thoughtful designs, resulting in very faithful recreation of the originals, Windlass just needs to do a better job at QC to iron out some of the numerous smaller quirks. I look forward to the second batch of the Royal Armouries Collection models.
Thanks for the comment Kane ! I'm also very curious to see what they will come up with for this second batch. I saw and enjoyed the review you did of the hanger and longsword from the first batch, very precise and detailed.
@@philodeinos7536 Thank you! From what I have seen, the second batch has that type XIIa grete swerde of war (IX. 915) and the type XVIII arming sword (IX.1426) and a rapier.
Great review :)
Could you tell me how long the grip is? I couldn't find this information online.
The grip is 10 cm long.
Have you’ve tested it’s durability on hardwood? All out impact no light chopping. 🤔
Nope, not yet. I'm planning on cutting some green dowels but I won't put it through anything too rough.
Are you Canadian?
No, I am half American, half Belgian.
@philodeinos7536 Well, good review. I like your cord wrapping on the fedder grip. Thanks for sharing. I've got the little fashion with the knuckle bow. It superb, easily one of my favorites. Again, good review. Don't think I've seen any other on this model, so thanks!
