Test Cutting with the LK Chen Munich Town Guard Sword

This sword takes its inspiration from an iconic sword crafted by famed German sword maker Wolfgang Stantler in the early 17th century. It's essentially a medieval arming sword with the addition of a complex hilt, to serve the purpose of a plate gauntlet. Despite post-dating Oakeshott’s medieval sword typology, this sword corresponds to Oakeshott Type XV and XVIII blades, which balance cut and thrust abilities by starting broad at the guard and tapering dramatically to an acute point.
