Heard Skallameme endorsed quite heavily the Hanwei Tinker Longsword http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=SH2394
Falchions are more aesthetic tho

>>34530379
Looks pretty nice. Does this website have a good reputation? Of course I'd look into the manufacturers before I bought.

The Hanwei Tinker is immensely popular. Good luck getting one since they go out of stock quickly.

The Tinkers aren't amazing or anything. They just happen to be good for the price they're at. Also used a lot as a base to modify into a different style of sword.

If you're just going to fuck around with it, it'll be fine.

Personally, I'd shell out an extra one or two hundred for a Valiant Armory or a Regenyei, which will be better quality.

Kult of Athena is a pretty reputable site.

Why do you need a sword

>>34530925

Save your money and go with Albion if you're into swords from the middle ages. I think they have payment plans.

>>34530372
It depends on the budget. If you can pay for it, try some swords crafter like these:

http://www.regenyei.com/

Another pption, but here you can only purchase one sword model of each kind.

Another ones:

HEMA lessons might be a better investment, if you don't know how to handle a sword and know what to look for quality wise you can buy good sword and it will only be a wallhanger.

Something like that is the end goal but I want to start with something more simple.

I do practice. Not HEMA but dueling. An actual sword would be mostly for cutting water bottles and the fun of owning one.

>I do practice. Not HEMA but dueling
And what would that be? Afaik there is not martial art called dueling.

>>34532462
I don't do a martial art. I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and my friends beat each other with blunted arming swords. I count that as practicing with swords. I know that I shouldn't be swinging around a sharp sword but I'm confident that I won't cut my limbs off and want to see what it's like to use one.

Mind your own business you projecting piece of shit

>>34531624
With the exception of sales only rubes buy directly from the manufacturer.

Fair enough, the Hanwei Tinker is not a bad sword for your needs.

Call me a faggot if you want, but I ordered this one and its really fucking sturdy. I chop 4X4 pine boards with this as a torture test. fucking blew through it well. Has a good hard edge and does have decent flexibility.
