This is a cutter for sure, with the P.O.B. so far out. I had no trouble going through through the thick plastic of a 2 liter diet coke bottle, and my technique is absolutely atrocious. Wasn't the cleanest cut, but thats probably more due to my edge alignment then any issue with the sword. I'm quite happy with it.

Krig, I made the jump. I picked up an Albion Mercenary second hand from myarmoury.com. This thing is amazing. I call it Sir Pokesalot. Love me a fat Type XVa blade.

Also, just took my hobby to the next level. Doing some customization, just made a new leather wrap for one of my cheaper swords (Windlass Oakeshott Type XIV).
 
Just got a replica of the Anglo-Saxon Coppergate helmet and its comedically too large for my head.

Granted, its probably designed to be worn over a padded cap and chainmail, which would make it look less ridiculous, but its pretty funny as is.
