Angus Trim Makers Mark XIIa Longsword - While Gus no longer makes the makers mark series, these swords represent a turning point for him from pure performance to a nicer looking sword as well.

Hanwei Edward III sword - Not only Windlass discontinues their medieval swords - was a nice replica of a very ornate historical sword.

Windlass Shrewsbury - was a true bargain, liquidated at less than $100.

Windlass Towton Sword - Really attractive looking, but with a flopsy blade so not all that sad to see this one go.

Windlass Sword of War - really solidly built and great value for money - one more than will be missed.

Windlass Verneuil Sword - another really made sword by Windlass that is hard to fathom why it would be discontinued. The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges.

Windlass Sword of Auray - was actually an exceptional one handed hollow ground sword based on a historical original.

Came back from 2011 to 2018 but was finally discontinued once and for all in late 2018.

Windlass European Sword - one of my favorite medieval swords of all time.

Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).

Ultra Durable 'Beater' Katana under $400.

Affordable Traditional Blades with 'Hamon'.
