DARKSWORD ARMORY 'Medieval Two Handed Gothic Sword' REVIEW
The Maker
Darksword Armory
Founded and operated by Eyal Azerad, Darksword Armory has long been supplying the re-enactment and sword enthusiast community with swords, daggers and more since 1996. New offerings from Darksword Armory are typically durable handcrafted swords with well-tempered blades. Most models come with a wooden scabbard and these often come in two options with plain scabbards or scabbards with integrated sword belts available.
Often paired together
Love my sword I’ve owned this sword for years. At first I was disappointed. But as I learned more about how to use a sword, this sword quickly became one of my favorite. It is like a hybrid sword. It’s not the quickest,but very quick. It’s not the best cutter, but cuts great. It’s not the best thruster, but thrusts wonderfully. It’s feels light, but it weighs 3.5lb. It’s stiff yet very flexible. The finish is good yet fairly priced. The ultimate all around long sword for the buck.
One of the worst swords I’ve ever used, and comparing the sword I have with other reports on this model show why – it’s a completely different sword. Mine weighs in at 2 lbs 12 oz, and is extremely light, but entirely too flexible. In addition, the sharpening on it is atrocious (blame DSA here, not Kult of Athena, as it was DSA who sharpened it).
The hilt is visibly full of epoxy, but the crossguard has come loose, and the peen is suspect – it only slightly overlaps the slot in the pommel, with visible voids (filled with epoxy) around it. I have no confidence the hilt is solidly constructed.
Unfortunately, this kind of wild variance seems to be all too common with Darksword Armory. Sometimes you might get a good sword. Sometimes you get a complete dud.
I did an overly long and exhaustive review on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ypa_o2mGkeU
