Great review!! You're a great Fencer and even greater person. Thank you for your work, time and talent. I really look forward to another trip to Bonn/Köln and hang out with you Freifechter people!
Hey, thank you for the kind words. It was a privilege having you in our hall and a pleasure fencing you. I am already looking forward to the next time getting humbled by you in longsword. - Peter
I've got a recent steel order from Black Fencer (I like them a lot). Since I needed one for the club I joined, I also asked for a synthetic sword, my first. I've always seen their steel Portuguese sword in your background, and since I probably will never go for it even though I like the look of it, I went for a synthetic Portuguese sword. 😄
I actually have that too. I wanted to make a comparison between the two versions but never quite got to it. Unless they have changed it, it is quite a different beast from the steel version. Overall much lighter and nimble feeling and it does not have the nails protruding from the guard. Still a fun sword though of course :) - Peter
I have the V3 from 2017- only complaint was the narrow, rectangular handle but that seems to have been fixed. They seem perfect for a synthetic waster now
Based shirt.
It is one of my favorites :)

The shirt is great! I also like the BF Longsword - excellent trainer.

Yes, the standard handle is a really comfortable shape now.
