Testing out the tinker custom longsword after I had spent 6 hours to modify its geometry with diamond stones to very streamline.

After modifying the edge geometry for 4 hours with diamond stones, the angus trim bastard sword cuts thick roll with single hand easily!

To give a proper aspect on how difficult the cuts I usually did were, here are some students' practice videos.

Hiu Tung Chan used darksword danish 2 hander and Edwin Chan used Longship Armoury LLC John Lundemo made Zhanmadao that I designed, to practice cutting from the sparring stance.

As a result, we figured out that the darksword danish 2 hander needed to be streamlined in the edge profile to facilitate such cuts.

After 5 hours of edge geometry modification, the darksword danish two hander is short cut capable now.
