This is based on one of the most popular FAQ's. Although I've made videos about general pointers on which brands and manufacturers I would advise looking for (or avoiding), I figured it would be good to make a more comprehensive list of recommendations.

These are going to be reproductions that I either have personal experience with, have seen positive reviews of, or can suggest based on other designs from the same maker.

It's separated into era (ancient / medieval / renaissance and later) as well as price range (budget / mid range / high end). In part 1 you see Greek and Roman swords, Bronze Age replicas, Viking swords, and others.
