Sweet. The artistry of the crossguard is a bit awk, but no doubt it would catch and hold a blade better than cruciform

Dude awesome video 🤘 You did a great job for your first review! Good information, good overview of potential pros and cons. Cool sword I've wanted one for a long time. Watch out for the metal throat on the scabbard. I have the same thing on my tinker and it'll dull your edge PDQ when drawing and sheathing.
