Gen 2 Swords - Battle ReadyWe have been listening and reading customer comments about our fine swords and the fact that you wanted us to carry more high quality swords in our store. Many of you suggested we carry Generation 2 Weapons. We have heard your concerns and listened. We will now carry the quality made swords called Generation 2.
The manufacturer is now producing the new swords (unlike any they have ever produced) with all new specifications, and a new tempering process that will truly make the Generation2* swords ready to win the Steel-to-SteelSM challenge.
All tangs are a continuation of the blade that runs completely through the handle and connects to the pommel (not the thin rod used in most all swords). Although they are historically correct in appearance, specifications were set to produce a sword that could withstand the riggers of steel to steel and not produce a failure.
The first test was on several 2"x 4"s standing up and split them with no marring on the blade. The second test was on a 2"x 4" cross ways resting on a solid rest and striking straight down. It did not cut all the way through, but it did cut deep and again did not mar the blade or edge. Then the ultimate test was Steel-to-Steel *, with 9 good blows. These tests resulted in NO breakage or looseness developing in the blade, tang, or handle of the swords.
