Here is the first of quite a few collab videos you'll see that I recorded during my visit in Vancouver. Kane was kind enough to host me at his place and let me handle several swords from his collection. In this first part we talk about how swords (longswords in particular) can be different from what people expect, both with regards to handling and especially also durability.
Of course the Albion Principe came up in this discussion, so this it's a good reminder for people that what happened to it back in 2020 was not to be blamed on Albion. Such a thin blade with extreme cutting power can never be indestructible... no sword can.
