00:00:02
all right this time I want to talk about00:00:04
a specific manufacturer as the title00:00:06
says and if you folks are interested00:00:08
I'll make more videos like this so this00:00:10
one's about windlass to craft which if00:00:13
you don't know is a company founded in00:00:14
India in 1943 in order to make kukri00:00:17
knives for the Nepalese Gurkha soldiers00:00:19
in the British Army this company also00:00:22
owns Museum replicas limited which is00:00:25
the main supplier in North America they00:00:27
also ship worldwide and the windlass is00:00:31
one of the biggest names on the00:00:33
historical reproductions market they are00:00:35
considered budget range which you can00:00:38
tell by the prices but even though the00:00:40
blades are budget price they are hand00:00:41
forged off high carbon steel they use00:00:44
either 1065 1075 10 85 or 1095 steel if00:00:48
you're not familiar with those00:00:50
designations they tell you the carbon00:00:52
content so 1065 steel has point six five00:00:56
percent carbon and 1095 has zero point00:00:59
nine five percent and to the higher the00:01:01
carbon content the harder the blade is00:01:04
the more durable but also the less tough00:01:07
so more prone to breaking rather than00:01:10
bending generally 1095 is a bit hard for00:01:14
longer blades but let's not get too much00:01:17
into detail there00:01:18
so they take an ingot of that steel heat00:01:21
it up and hammer it into its rough shape00:01:23
and then a grinder takes care of the00:01:26
finer details of the shape and polishes00:01:29
it and then it's being tempered00:01:30
afterwards their historical weapons are00:01:32
advertised as battle-ready which means00:01:35
that they are functional they are not00:01:36
just decorative wall hangers they can be00:01:38
used however there's one certain00:01:43
annoyance that I have with this namely00:01:45
on the website it says that our swords00:01:48
can do everything their historical00:01:50
counterparts could you mean except cut00:01:53
because they are made with a one00:01:56
millimeter thick blunt edge quote00:01:59
unquote and that bothers me a little bit00:02:02
now if you've been subscribed to my00:02:05
channel for a while you probably already00:02:07
know that this is a pet peeve of mine00:02:08
though the sharpness of00:02:11
swords and knives etc on the market and00:02:14
this is particularly annoying I don't00:02:17
call something battle-ready if it's00:02:20
completely beloved it's it's not fully00:02:24
functional in that sense now if you want00:02:27
to make you know practice tools you know00:02:31
for practicing historical European00:02:33
martial arts or doing whatever SCA and00:02:37
then etc all of that reenactment and00:02:39
whatnot then that's one thing but then00:02:43
you know make them properly for that00:02:46
purpose in the sense of in that case the00:02:49
blade is to be more flexible it the00:02:52
point needs to be rounded off and this00:02:53
is that ideally minimize the mass and00:02:57
the data at least for the full contact00:02:59
sparring that sort of thing it's a00:03:01
different application if you have00:03:03
something like this it's designed for00:03:05
collectors who may or may not want to00:03:08
use the sword as well if it's called bet00:03:10
already then I expect it to function the00:03:13
way of sword does and that it includes00:03:15
being sharp the problem with this is00:03:18
that they're not just dull 1 millimeter00:03:20
it means that you have to remove quite a00:03:23
bit of material and if you're not00:03:25
familiar with sharpening and all that00:03:28
then this is not very easy actually00:03:31
now I made a video about a way to00:03:35
sharpen the swords more easily00:03:37
reasonably it'll be linked down below in00:03:40
the video description so I can00:03:41
definitely help you out or if you have a00:03:43
belt grinder stuff like that if you were00:03:46
to try to just use a stone to sharpen00:03:49
this yeah you better bring a lot of00:03:52
patience because it's going to take00:03:54
quite a while now all of them like a00:03:57
museum replicas actually offers a00:04:00
sharpening service call of Athena does00:04:02
or you can get through sharpen but it00:04:04
just it's something that asks me a00:04:06
little bit personally one other thing on00:04:09
the website is it says swords were never00:04:12
intended to be used edge to edge against00:04:15
anything can you imagine a warrior00:04:17
purposefully damaging his only offensive00:04:19
weapon in battle essentially disarming00:04:22
himself well quite frankly yes I can00:04:25
if if the choice is between losing and00:04:28
arm and messing up my edge00:04:30
I will vest the heck out of my edge so00:04:33
there are situations in historical00:04:37
swordsmanship where you just cannot00:04:40
avoid edge damage that's just how it is00:04:43
there are plenty of techniques that are00:04:45
in fact done coming your edge on edge00:04:48
perpendicular but at an angle because00:04:52
there are certain mechanical you know00:04:54
biomechanical advantages to that for00:04:57
example the way that your wrist is much00:05:00
more much stronger in this direction00:05:03
rather than that because you have a00:05:06
greater range of motion here right and00:05:08
the muscles don't resist quite as well00:05:10
so if you try to always parry with the00:05:12
flat this can be overpowered a lot more00:05:15
easily but you know that just really as00:05:17
a side note so what do i generally think00:05:19
of their products well it depends a lot00:05:22
it can be a little bit hit or miss I've00:05:25
had a number of swords and other items00:05:28
made by windless over the years I don't00:05:30
have anything or everything anymore that00:05:34
I used to own at some point but this is00:05:39
one of the better ones00:05:40
so this shamshir here I've reviewed that00:05:44
again link will be down below and this00:05:47
is really quite good for a budget sword00:05:49
it was a bit of a flaw in the fit here00:05:53
because there was just a little too much00:05:55
space you know this piece here that00:05:58
extended down there was a little too00:06:02
much of a gap between this and the the00:06:05
wood and also the guard wasn't as00:06:08
tightly on there as it could be so has00:06:12
vibration travels through this starts to00:06:15
loosen up and then this you know keeps00:06:17
working against the wood which it may00:06:20
split apart and in fact there is a bit00:06:22
of a crack in there00:06:23
so this is a weakness that could be00:06:26
improved but again for the price range00:06:31
this is of there like the blade is00:06:32
really damn good this is definitely00:06:35
high-quality steel00:06:37
can say anything about the edge because00:06:38
it can come with one but what it gave00:06:40
actually colored in our shopping service00:06:42
but I'd have to touch it up and ya know00:06:44
it's actually pretty good it cuts really00:06:46
nicely I'm not a fan of this this finish00:06:52
it there seems to be some kind of resin00:06:55
or something some clear coat on the00:06:59
guard which gives this glossy appearance00:07:01
which I'm really not a fan of I mean yes00:07:05
it prevents rust so that's good but it00:07:08
doesn't look too good now I should go to00:07:10
too much detail because otherwise this00:07:12
will be like a redundant double review00:07:14
with the same thing that I've already00:07:16
done but you know just as a few pointers00:07:20
so they generally come with a sheath or00:07:24
scabbard which is good another side note00:07:28
if you don't know a piece is generally00:07:31
what's called a soft um00:07:35
receptacle for the sword if you will so00:07:38
the sheath doesn't have a hard wooden00:07:41
core whereas a scabbard usually does so00:07:43
that one I would consider a hit this on00:07:46
the other hand is more of a Miss00:07:48
unfortunately a short Zulu spear and it00:07:53
looks very nice on the way it's shaped00:07:56
and all its it also seems to be solidly00:08:00
assembled you can see right there where00:08:03
a pin was driven through the socket of00:08:06
the spear and then polished it's got00:08:09
this a brass wire here which also helps00:08:13
hold it in place possibly it looks quite00:08:16
nice the wood I don't know what it is00:08:21
can't say long an expert on what the00:08:24
blade um it looks fine but we've got a00:08:27
bit of a problem here because the first00:08:29
time I use this you know with how long00:08:32
the spear point is this is suitable for00:08:35
cutting I tried that in Advent on the00:08:38
very first cut so this means that this00:08:41
steel here is too soft for the purpose00:08:44
it may also have to do with the shape00:08:46
here because this is fairly abrupt00:08:49
if you look at the transition from the00:08:52
socket to the blade so this is a00:08:55
relatively steep angle here if this was00:08:58
smoother more gradual this might be00:09:02
stronger or if the base was thicker00:09:05
there was a lot of a taper but as it is00:09:07
you have from the socket to the blade00:09:10
changes rapidly and then you have the00:09:13
same blade thickness throughout so it00:09:16
could be fixed either by changing the00:09:19
shape or by using harder steel but yeah00:09:23
this was really a shame because this it00:09:25
could be extremely nice this one here00:09:27
I've reviewed and I don't have any00:09:29
problems with the head is crooked on00:09:31
there because I abused the crap out of00:09:35
this one I was repeatedly smashing it into a dead00:09:41
tree trunk because I was at that point I00:09:44
was getting pretty confident in the you00:09:48
know toughness of this mace and so00:09:51
really the only thing that happened was00:09:53
I must have hit it right here since this00:09:56
is a hollow tube it's easier to to00:09:59
collapse it that way and it's soon as00:10:01
soon as it collapses there then there is00:10:03
more of a chance of bending to occur but00:10:08
that's we only the only thing nothing00:10:10
has fallen off or nothing is broken or00:10:13
anything so the flanges are very solidly00:10:16
welded to it and yep but it's all good I00:10:21
haven't handled any historical originals00:10:23
so I cannot say exactly how close it is00:10:27
and then overall shape it seems good00:10:30
handling is good it's not too heavy and00:10:33
so that's generally the rule of thumb00:10:36
the weapons they make handle overall00:10:40
pretty decently now I'd say overall00:10:43
because there are exceptions back in00:10:45
200000:10:46
a Kish I reviewed one hat was the exact00:10:52
opposite it was extremely heavy and unwieldy and00:10:56
poorly balanced and it was just not fun00:11:01
to use in any way shape or form there's00:11:03
also the Kobra steel line which is more00:11:07
of a tactical appearance I've shown this00:11:11
before in other videos and this is one00:11:14
that I generally like to recommend for00:11:17
people who are on a limited budget00:11:19
because these are very affordable but00:11:21
they have the same you know good quality00:11:23
steel and there's not much that can go00:11:27
wrong here is a rubber overmold over the00:11:29
tang and yes this is sturdy it works you00:11:34
know it's just nothing wrong with it00:11:37
cheap sheath but you know they have to00:11:40
cut corners somewhere right and there's00:11:42
no pun intended in that so yeah again00:11:46
it's that it depends a little bit of00:11:48
what it is in particular one of the00:11:50
common problems that I've seen people00:11:53
mention over the years well a couple of00:11:55
years back was that especially they're00:11:58
longer and narrower blades tend to be00:12:00
overly flexible now I don't know that's00:12:03
been changed it might be because a00:12:05
goddess that was a couple of years ago00:12:08
but overall I'd say it's pretty decent00:12:13
especially in the budget range you know00:12:16
you basically have products at least00:12:18
what I've tried so far ranges from bad00:12:24
in some cases to pretty decent to really00:12:29
quite exceptionally good for the price00:12:31
so of course it's not going to be00:12:35
comparable to an $800 or $1000 an hour00:12:40
either production or custom sword but00:12:42
for what you get or for what you pay00:12:45
it's really good so generally I don't00:12:48
have a problem with windless product00:12:50
they are usually worth trying out00:12:53
especially if there's something that00:12:55
you're just curious about and you're00:12:57
thinking okay00:12:58
do you really want to invest a whole lot00:13:01
of money into it and this may be a good00:13:03
option they're not always entirely00:13:06
historically accurate but generally00:13:09
that's pretty decent00:13:10
so if you want to browse on Windows00:13:11
products I'll leave a link in the video00:13:13
description it's at color thena which I00:13:15
generally recommend because of the good00:13:17
prices and international shipping and00:13:19
I've just had really positive00:13:20
experiences with them so there you go00:13:23
hope you found it interesting and thanks00:13:25
