Nice video! Looks like it's relatively easy to keep good edge alignment with greatswords because they are pretty stiff. Or I'm wrong? I saw people saying it's hard but here it looks easy
Laserowy Kuba keeping good edge alignment on greatswords seems to be much harder due to their size and weight in my opinion. However, if you keep the blade sharp and really follow through with your cuts while cutting in a straight line, that seems to do the trick for me. Thats just from my experience ;)
So you are just skilled with cutting then. Btw that greatsword from 0:15 (for egzample) is from Cold Steel right? then it weights like 3.1 kg. I wonder how easier it would be to cut with 2.5 kg montante, like one from Regenyei
I guess ive just gotten used to cutting with the cold steel. I did cut with the new regenyei and yes, it was surprisingly light and well balanced. took me a few cuts to get used to it tho ;)
I miss cutting parties with my club. Stupid 2020.
This looks really fun!!
you are very lucky that you are a part of such a wonderful community.
Love the danish greatsword
Are there HEMA clubs in your area?
