This page is a comparison between two aluminum blunts, a Valentine Armory blade (no longer in production) and
a Swordcrafts.com blade. This is not to say one is better than the other. I only post these to show how they stand
up to constant use.
The Valentine blade was purchased around 2003. I own the Swordcrafts blade and have been using it every week in
class since March or 2007.
The Valentine blade is square-edged while the Swordcrafts blade is rounded. I will not use my Swordcrafts blade
with a Valentine blade because it scratches and notches my blade.
You do not want to run a bare hand down the edge of the Valentine blade. It will cut you up like a hack saw.
The Swordcrafts blade has no jagged edges after months of hard use.
