yeah, MRL tempers to a lot lower rockwell than PC, or so it seems,- and in general I like PC better for feel, and really overall I give em higher marks-on the other hand you get more variety with MRL, and the higher temper on PC blades means that in the event of a blade failure rather than bend or take deep nicks they tend to snap- but that seems to be a rare occurance at best, and generally requires abuse to happen.........Moonduck- I've been eying their silver schiavona and have held off cause of my experience with their Celt longsword - bad news for anyone with even above average hands- I could not even use it, luckily a very small framed witch bought it for ritual- same problem with their damascus steel viking sword- could of sold it a few times if I had more customers under 5'5" ...they need to take hand size into considderation- even if the originals had small handles, they were made for people of the time who used them, and apparently we are bigger......
