Loads of awesome static cutting as ever, brother! The Knight is a substantial sword with a medium weight. Very representative of 13th century arming swords!

Is the gap between the fuller and the interior hole in the cross-guard a historical accuracy thing? With cnc machining they could have made the two parts fit with zero tolerance and eliminated a place for water to collect inside the sword

From what a lot of respectable makers say, the gap is not historically accurate... on average, it would have been much larger. 😅 Btw, let's say that the tang is a thick as the blade is without a fuller, how do you plan to fit the crossguard to the blade? Additional question, how many hundreds of dollars more would you be willing to pay to have no gap (let's say they find a way to do it)... 200, 300?

@@FiliiMartis i’d slide the crossguard up the tang as usual from the pommel end and just grind the fuller not all the way down the forte so it stops just above the crossguard - the blade would be full thickness at the point where it meets the crossguard. I guess this means the distal taper and pommel would need to be adjusted to re create the balance, and it might result in a heavier overall weight (This requires CNC because the blacksmithing techniques to put the fuller there wouldn’t be as precise.)

@@JinKee Ok, I see. You would adjust the blade by terminating the fuller before contact with the crossguard, not the crossguard. That's what I was thinking in the past as well. In the meantime, I found out that this would be in fact a bad idea. I can't remember exactly the reason, if it has to do with vibrations, or how stresses concentrate, but there was a compelling reason why you want the fuller to continue to about the first 1/3 of the tang. Btw, even if I cannot recall the reason itself, once I found out that there was a good reason for the fuller to continue down (up?) the tang, that gap didn't bother me any more. Function first! 😄

You can just add wax to the open section in the crossguard if it's a major concern.

This is what historical swords look like. There is even a good reason to do this as it is a feature that can be used to make the guard fit more securely to the blade than you use a small punch to drift the edges of the hole on the inside of the guard so they are crimped down into the hollow of the fuller. This way the guard is very securely fixed to the blade.
