I'm going to be blunt here:
Apart from some rapier models, these look like garbage. These are slabs of iron in the shape of what vaguely looks like a sword.
Compare these to actual swords like:

http://www.christianfletcher.com/ http://www.christianfletcher.com/
Or something a bit more down-to-earth like from Peter Regenyei who started out by making practice swords for HEMA practitioners:

- definataly 5y agothe swords in those 3 links look just like the Asian ones you can see in Toledo. Hard to tell from the picture.
- baxuz 5y agoTo the untrained eye, perhaps. Albion and Christian Fletcher are as far off from the Toledo ones as a Yugo or a Reliant Robin is from a Ferrari.
- KaiserPro 5y agoWhen I hear master swordsmith, I think of something like this: https://www.owenbush.co.uk/product-category/swords/ https://www.owenbush.co.uk/product-category/swords/ (bonus if you're in the UK they run a sword smithing week long course) As Baxuz points out, the swords on sale are not overly great quality. unless you like the specific look of them, you are better off getting a version made for HEMA re-enactment.
