Shadow Dancer’s First Longsword Delivers Performance I Didn't Expect at $500

#sword #review #cutting

Shadow Dancer's Gothic Longsword is their debut in European-inspired swords. For a brand known for its quality katana, it perhaps shouldn't be a surprise that they brought some of their expertise in fit and finish to this sword. At $500, it's priced above many other Chinese sword makers, but the price is right for this level of quality. In this review, I break down the build quality, cutting performance, handling characteristics, and overall value to show how it stacks up to the competition.
