The "Salzritter" is a bespoke type XVIIIc made by Eric Estlund of Winter Cutlery. This sword is available to purchase from Winter Cutlery, and the price is $5,000. That is, quite obviously, a large amount of money. In this review, I go over the sword and scabbard in detail, examining each component individually, and as a composite whole, to give you an idea of what you would get for your hard-earned cash. I cut some water bottles and tatami, explore the Salzritter's handling, and compare it to the famous Albion Principe.
