In this video I review a grete swerd of war made by Brian Kerce. This is an Oakeshott type XIIIa sword, and it's a big example of one. While these types of swords aren't really my cup o' tea, there's a lot that can be learned from them, and they were prominent in history. How does this one by Brian Kerce stack up? I go over it in great detail in the video and give you my thoughts on it, including whether I think it's worth the $800 I paid.
