Either you got a special mystery box wink wink nudge nudge, or this is the best deal I've ever seen from any sword shop ever. Watch me buy one and end up getting 5 wall hangers and a plastic Naruto Kunai. I want 10.
Kult of Athena is the only company allowed to sell TFW bladed weapons. With that Kris, you can cut trees down. ts worth far more than $260. Its a great deal for something that is steel blends of D2 and 5160. You got a real good deal there. :)
I can tell you from having made sheaths for hunting/skinning/outdoor knives that the hole in the scabbard Is "originally" intended as a drain for things like water and blood to run out the bottom instead of pooling around the blade and having it fast rust. As for this one, it's a toss up as to why they did it. To give credit it's so water/moisture doesn't pool on your blade.
+Nolan Kasa That Jian has really grown on me since I unboxed it. This weekend I'm going to repair the scabbard and pommel piece. It and the Kris are the 2 best things that came in the box.
a thing Worth noting about the keris scabbard is that it is intentionally made fragile. often it was made to break upon impact. So that you could block wioth it sheathed one time and that would effectively unsheath it (permanently)
As to the Katana, in the film, Hattori Hanzou puts the mystical lion mark on the sword, who forges for the Bride. If you want to get its collection. The other sword should have a mark of a deamon's face, which is the sword forged by Hattori Hansou for Bill. And if you want another one forged by Hattori Hanzou (in the film), it will be Budd's Katana, which is engraved with words "To Budd the only man i ever loved. -Bill" And as you have a set of Katana and Ryumon's Tanto, I suggest you find a Wakizashi and Tachi, and Naginata and a suit of Samurai Armor to match the existing pair.
+samuel H. have you ever owned a cold steel sword? sure, they have some meh stuff, but there's some good stuff too. also, their blunt weapons and knives aren't bad
Since you would of tried to be clever and written "Albion" they would probably try to be clever and put in cheap stuff. But originating from England, Scotland and Wales so the "Albion" word still applies.
That box being labeled 30 pounds despite being a little lighter is due to "Shipping Weight" factors. Basically its a calculation of what something inside a box that size would weigh on average. Essentially, it compensates for how many more packages could fit in the trucks or plane if your package wasn't in such a large box.
I'm enjoying the creatures loving the brown paper, that Kult of Athena also loves, more than most of the weapons they sent you...lmao priceless background distractions
One of rhe reasons Windless scabbards feel lose is because when they are exposed to wet weather, the leather expands and can lock the blade in said scabbard. If it is looser, one can avoid that issue. Try ipnching the throat closer together, thst works for me :-)
yeah dude , no where near as good as a full turbo powered samurai katana, folded over 10 ooberzillion times , so sharp it can cut seven higs bosons in twain.
+William Stanway check out thesamuraiworkshop.com they sell wicked katanas, prob the best on the market without spending 10's thousands of dollars for traditional tamahagane
All Damascus/ Pattern Welded steel is usually “etched” in an acid to highlight the different steels. Just like you described on the “Scottish Knife” if you grind the blade *after* you do the etching dip, the pattern will be much, much fainter where any material was removed for the sharpening. I’m not saying that you’re necessarily wrong about whether that Pickle-Knife is really pattern-welded or not, but sometimes it can be misleading to judge it the way you described in the video. To really be sure, sand down the parts you think are etched until you can’t see the pattern, and then re-dip in ferric-chloride or something similar to see if any pattern shows back up.
David Jones cutting boxes is stupid as fuck but paper actually tells you if it's sharp. If it cuts it without much force (cut, not tear) then it's sharp.
Historically, Tantos weren't often worn. But when they were, they'd be behind the back in a horizontal fashion. Ryumon is an entry level brand, about a step up from Musashi. Usually their swords are nicer looking but still maintain a good blade.
acid etching is how you bring out the pattern in damascus steel, the acid erodes the steel at different rates dependent on the carbon of the steel causing the patterning so having something "acid etched" isnt a bad thing, printing is usually the way people fake damascus as you dont need to fold 2 different steels.
+WolfSpiderAirsoft Acid washing is what you are describing, Acid etching pre-assumes that a pattern is being used, and a mask is being applies to the steel, but yes you are correct.
Kult of athena is a great seller! Their my 3rd favourite seller My 2 favourite are southern swords and Barrington swords They are local to me in the uk so it doesnt take long to ship
Obviously, this was better than buying a $200 sword from Windlass or Hanwei. Museum Replicas has an arming sword on sale in the close-out bin for $195. I was very tempted by that one. I would assume that this sword is a Windlass. I made my first order from Museum Replicas and Atlanta Cutlery this week. A nice thing is that I can call them and order from both stores with one order.
I ordered an unguided large box as well and got it the 1st of april and was overall pleased. The ring belt and Cold Steel cap (knit cap for me) seem standard. A Hanwei Babmboo Mat katana, a Ritter Steel reverse blade katana, a Ronin Katana Euro #6 longsword, a Cold Steel US Army Officer's Saber, and an unmarked cheap (Pakistan?) bowie knife (WP12333). Overall a good value, I'll probably do it again someday.
I'm pretty sure that HUGE sword is an old deepeeka. if you undid everything and kept the blade you could probably reprofile it into something useable :)
Not really a criticism for this video in particular but it always makes chuckle when I see people questioning the price of something like a sword or a knife that is 100% functional but maybe the person doesn't like the design. Even if you completely ignore whatever the material cost (which for a sword made of high carbon steel will definitely be a noticeable chunk of the price) the hours it takes to make one of these will usually justify whatever price you are paying. The fact that you can even get a functional sword (that will hopefully) hold up to some abuse for under or around $100 amazes me.
If they are as heavy as the arming sword look like it is, or as unwieldy as the knife, or as pitifully poorly assembled as the Jian is, "amazing" would be the last word that comes to mind, preceded by the likes of "disappointing", and "laughable", and maybe even "cringeworthy". I personally ABHOR the Kriss, but if you made me choose between that and the arming sword, or even worse the Jian, I would still choose the Kriss, for no other reason than because that was the battle ready weapon I was promised, not some Walmart tier bunghole poker
That windlass blade is a fantastic deal! Very lucky indeed. The Kriss is cool and the Chinese sword is a nice addition but very much yay to the windlass piece. I do not believe that blade is an old cas iberia, that looks in construction to be an older Marto blade and no it is a wallhanger slo.
I'm not overly worried about getting a couple of non functional swords. I plan on dressing up for the my local renaissance fair. So, I'm hoping for something with a nice crossguard and pommel. Since its gonna spent 99% of it's life in a scabbard. I do hope I get something that I'm not familiar with too.
Just got my Maciejowski Windlass 2 hand falchion yesterday from KoA and I've never seen better packaging. That Kris sword looks quite large, most are smaller. I have one from the Philippines with a dagger and it is a LOT lighter and smaller. CAS makes some very sturdy weapons but the sheaths are often basic leather. You scored and KoA currently has no more of these deals
I checked out the first medieval sword. While it does look vaguely similar to several Henry V swords, it is not the one by CAS Iberia. The cross guard is way too large.
The first Sword looks more like a wall décor. I am a big sword and knife collector. I prefer fixed blade knifes and swords. I already have a few swords but their all wall décor. None of them are battle ready. I am a new sub for you and like the video. Keep up the great work.
"Scottish kilt dagger" Do they mean a sgian dubh? they are nowhere near that massive, what the hell? The whole point in wearing one of those was that it was easily concealed.
Loved this video. Been wanting a tfw myself and I've always wanted the raptor sword eventually. Great grabs. Any hints to what items you plan to do reviews on soon? Your reviews are the best on RUclips.
by the way I was thinking to order a KoA box with theme name "musketeer" but i would like to ask you can I still ask them to avoid putting weapons in the box? I am from Greece so I cant own weapons send from America without a weapon licence.
+the scarecrow First, the mystery box is no longer available... :( second, KoA is overwhelming weapons based. I don't think you would be very successful is getting anything good. better to spend the money on something you want and have the control over what is being sent to you.
i see I guess I could get the clothing from an actaul tailor which actaully would be better than market clothes. I do want swords the weapon licence is the only problem, but the most trust worthy(on my opinion) seller in Europe is Armae but they dont give as much info for the swords they sell like KoA so am not sword for the quality. Do you know anything about the quality of the windlass rapier by the way?
the Windlass is the Raptor. I've wanted it and seen good cutting videos with it. besides, it looks badass. I think with that and the Kris and maybe the Ryoman tanto, you got a great deal. Hang everything else in the garage, lol.
@@Boggsy. Not too shabby for the price, I think they've since changed manufacturers for steels, but I'm not too sure. Only major gripe with it is that it's a little too whippy.
That is a Han dynasty Jin battle sword ment to jave heft. Its han because of the round handle. Later dynasty had more ergonomic handles . Scottish Dirk not kilt knife.
+paolothemaster It will happen... I will likely eventually do a review of it, the Raptor, the Katana, and the Jian. All 4 of those are functional enough to be reviewable AFAIK.
I ordered a large box, with the keyword "1066" (hoping for something anglo-saxon, norman, or viking. I got a Darksword Armory Henry V sword with belt and scabbard that I can't find anything wrong with, around $450. A Ronin Katana Dojo Pro 19, $300 Universal Swords 28" Cutlass $160. Barbarian Dagger for like $60 Some Khukuri with a loose grip, maybe $50 A Deepeeka Double Tomahawk for like $30. So, I also got around $1000 in stuff. I was a bit disappointed to not get anything that I really wanted, and have joked that I'd be even more happy with a single $300 sword than all of the stuff I got; but, in the end I'm very happy.
Seems like one could ebay auction off the stuff they didn't really want (holding onto 1-2 keepers) and go for round 2 or pocket their initial investment.
+JUDAS Umm... stay tuned... ;) I am going to ramp up some of my other video series that I haven't touched in a while, specifically, the SLO marketplace. I have a really good one I'm working on. The problem is if I only did ones I owned, I'd have a lot less to work with, vast majority of my swords are perfectly fine.
that mystery sword is not only battle-ready, it's end-him-rightly-ready
Jakub Fabisiak Throw the pommel and end him rightly.
Dagan Gallant HNGH HYAHHH
For Honor reference ?
Bitree, Skallagrim, my friend. Skallagrim coined "end him rightly" while talking about a combat manual.

Watch me buy one and end up getting 5 wall hangers and a plastic Naruto Kunai.
I want 10.
Is there a video on your channel? If there is one, I wasn't able to find it...
@@annasstorybox7906 What video ?
Kult of Athena is the only company allowed to sell TFW bladed weapons. With that Kris, you can cut trees down. ts worth far more than $260. Its a great deal for something that is steel blends of D2 and 5160. You got a real good deal there. :)

That Kris comes from TraditionalFilipinoWeapons. com. I think that is the prize in that mystery box.
TangSooDoArnis4Life probably
Plz review your cats
you got the deal of the century there bro i am totally jealous! that jian is beautiful and your right it is the jewel of the bunch. great video!
that "kilt dagger" has a studded pickle for a hilt
The Chinese jian is actually the proper weight. They are supposed to be really blade heavy
+Nolan Kasa That Jian has really grown on me since I unboxed it. This weekend I'm going to repair the scabbard and pommel piece. It and the Kris are the 2 best things that came in the box.
+Nolan Kasa Do you know for what purpose?
Im not big into asian martial arts, but Ive noticed alot of their weapons seem to be weighted oddly.
Bearling Lots of sweeping circular motions in Chinese arts. Blade heavy means heavy cuts and circular motions are good for bringing it back to guard.
That is one hell of a moostache you are growing!!! 😆
Hahahahaha
a thing Worth noting about the keris scabbard is that it is intentionally made fragile. often it was made to break upon impact. So that you could block wioth it sheathed one time and that would effectively unsheath it (permanently)
why would u want that lol

Cold steel is a crap brand.
+samuel H. have you ever owned a cold steel sword? sure, they have some meh stuff, but there's some good stuff too. also, their blunt weapons and knives aren't bad
Omg you got the windlass raptor D: I've wanted one for so long!
The handle of the first dagger looks like a pickle. Couldn't unsee that.
I love the red curtains, they give a really cool vibe to the room.
What a value! I really wanted to get this after seeing your video, but they don't offer it anymore.
I woulda wrote "Albion" hahahaha
LOL 😂
Since you would of tried to be clever and written "Albion" they would probably try to be clever and put in cheap stuff. But originating from England, Scotland and Wales so the "Albion" word still applies.
PitsPenguins87 I had that exact thought.
I agree. I looked up the sword on the web site. It looks like the Albion sword worth $1000+.
@Kaiser Franz von Lappen der 2. Kult of Athena has a Albion Agincourt Sword for $979. Albion_Swords.com has swords as low as $1650.00.
"Feels like a katana, looks like a katana..."

About the Chinese Jian
It's modeled after the sword used by the warriors of the Han dynasty
I didn't know I wanted sword unboxing videos, but this was great. Thanks!
Smells like a Katana, sounds like a Katana, feels like a Katana, looks like a katana, but I feel like this thing is actually a tanto😂😂
I have the same TFW Kriss sword and it is just a beautiful and functional blade.
I'm enjoying the creatures loving the brown paper, that Kult of Athena also loves, more than most of the weapons they sent you...lmao priceless background distractions
The Chinese sword is definitely my kind of sword. Too bad about the overall build quality/flaws.
CrazyDrunkenBoxer 勇敢 It's a crappy model. But the swords are awesome.
that 1 really big bulky sword is likely what weaboos think medieval weapons are like.

"To make things a bit more interesting you may make a single word request in your special instructions"
"Albion."
That's one gigantic Kris...all Kris i ever saw before this are dagger type lol
The Filipino version is a bit different, and is much more of a sword than the everyday carry weapon that the indonesian/malaysian version is.
At least you got a Kris Cutlery Tian, Ryumon Tanto and a Windless Raptor.
that kris is more kalis because it is bigger a wider blade and a mix of wave and straight blade pattern. the kris normally does not have wider blade.
Sword of Might is like "here take our crap", Cult of Athena like "dont worry we got you fam"
That windlass blade is a fantastic deal! Very lucky indeed. The Kriss is cool and the Chinese sword is a nice addition but very much yay to the windlass piece. I do not believe that blade is an old cas iberia, that looks in construction to be an older Marto blade and no it is a wallhanger slo.
That is kind of neat box. Some it is borderline wall hangers but you get your money's worth. I ordered the 50 dollar box and I can't wait to get it.
+Bigcal1292 I know they say the $50 box is less about functional swords, but I'd love to hear what you get.

The actual name for a Scottish kilt dagger is a Sgian-dubh (pronounced ski-n-du) and that thing with the green dagger is not one

A Ronin Katana Dojo Pro 19, $300
Universal Swords 28" Cutlass $160.
Barbarian Dagger for like $60
Some Khukuri with a loose grip, maybe $50
A Deepeeka Double Tomahawk for like $30.
So, I also got around $1000 in stuff.
I was a bit disappointed to not get anything that I really wanted, and have joked that I'd be even more happy with a single $300 sword than all of the stuff I got; but, in the end I'm very happy.
