Orc sword review	Can't Post

Matt Easton is one of my favorite youtubers for swords and their usage. He shares some thoughts on a replica of the PJ movies orc sword, how it compares with book descriptions, and its strengths and weaknesses in battle.

This is great! :D [In reply to]	Can't Post

His insights and explanations are fascinating and well-thought as he's obviously extremely knowledgeable about weaponry. He clips along at a good pace in his observations and descriptions... which I truly appreciate! I smiled when he talked about machetes as I use one all the time in my yard work.

The responses to the video are as informative as his presentation... especially the one from Ben Wooten... one of the LotR designers! SCORE!

Thank you for this! Fantastic :D

Yes, Matt is great. [In reply to]	Can't Post

He does a great fight review of Aragorn vs Lurtz.

And I really enjoyed his analyses and opinions on fantasy movie arms & armor.
