Tod Cutler swords have arrived at last. Get it right, why get it wrong? [Music]
Hi it's Tod from Tod's Workshop and Tod Cutler here and I'm at Kentwell Hall with four of my
mates who are, well models for something new that's coming up. So Tod's Workshop makes
really accurate historical reproduction weaponry. I use that knowledge to create
recreations for the Tod Cutler line which are much cheaper, much more budget, much more affordable.
Daggers that's what you know me for, but swords are coming. Now the swords are like everything
else that I do for Tod Cutler, I try to get the detailing right, I try to get every aspect of it
from the sizes, the finish, the dimensions, the look, the feel, how they're worn, how they hang;
get it right, why get it wrong? But for reasons that I can't quite understand, I love short swords
and so that is where Tod Cutler has started. I've gone for short swords so first of all
we've got the end of the 13th century into the 14th Century, we've got a lovely type 14 here,
but like all of them, they come with a wood cored scabbard covered in leather, period appropriate
harnessing, buckles and it hangs right and sits right. Now the sword itself, this particular one
type 14, lovely flare on it there, lovely point on it there, but what's important about all of
these swords is that the grips and the handles feel right, they're the right kind of size,
true to type and that's what we're doing throughout. So thank you Seb
and on to Sam. Again so here we've got the 14th century we've got a lovely clip point falcion;
same is true for all of the scabbards, all of the harnessing on all of the swords.
I love it, I've always loved this shape and we've got a particularly lovely pommel. I love it I just
love designing these things and selling them to you. On to the 15th century, so Wars of the Roses
era, so really from about 1450 onwards. A curious falcion but I love it, such an elegant blade,
so light, but also it's obviously very intriguing because we've got these two knuckle guards here.
Very typically English and not for a long period, but sometimes you see them with a broken guard,
sometimes it goes throughout but again just one of my absolute favourites.
Thank you Ant and then on to Hobb of course still wearing his hat. It's an in joke if you
know this channel and we've got a messer here with a very typically German woven design on the hangar
and then the Messer itself. A nice nagle and a knuckle bow so in a way the German equivalent
of a falcion, serves a very similar purpose for, used to fight in a similar kind of a way.
All of these swords are available on Tod Cutler. Now first batch has arrived,
they're in different colours I've just shown them in Black here, but go to the site go check
them out but while you're there go and have a look at all the other historical daggers
and stuff that I do because if you're interested in this stuff, you're interested in my channel,
you'll be interested in everything that we've got and talked about.
Thank you
So
that's it. Tod Cutler swords have arrived at last. Thank you very
much to my models. Thank you very much to Kentwell Hall. Goodbye.
