Testing a Hanwei Rhinelander bastard sword and a Darksword armoury Danish 2 hander that my students purchased. I polished both swords' edges up to my standard.

The hanwei Rhinelander is a better cutting sword, with a broader blade and more forward POB. The geometry lend more authority in the cut. The darksword armoury danish 2 hander is longer and lighter in balance, making the tip very agile but lack the momentum to go through the target, unless one gives force to it.
