Synopsis
The history, manufacture, and ancient and modern uses of swords in Europe from the 5th century to today can be found here in one convenient source. Learn sword nomenclature and classification, discover sword physics secrets, and compare the history of swordsmanship in Europe to that of Japan. Practical information on different sword types, including those used by Vikings and Samurai, broadens the reader's understanding of the technical diversity of and relationships between swords from different eras and cultures. Readers can also learn how to tell authentic swords apart from fantasy swords, or "sword-like objects" (SLO), which are commonly used in movies like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Also, follow the manufacturing process, from welding to pommel construction, and read about historical replicas. Join the authors and countless other featured sword masters and experts on a fact-based and fun-filled adventure from the Middle Ages to modern Europe.

- e***f (135)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseDO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER! I made the mistake of not reading their feedback before purchasing and I had the same issue as MANY,MANY others. Item I purchased was marked as SHIPPED (UNTRACKED) the very next day, but never arrived. Seller waited six days to respond to the “item not arrived” request I filed with eBay. Said the item must have been lost and gave me a refund. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THIS HAPPENS TO MANY OF THEIR “UNTRACKED” items. UNTRACKED SHIPPING SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED!
