Hi! That’s a great question. I’ve used both types extensively, and medieval swords https://medievalextreme.com/swords/ offer a good variety. The one-handed swords are lighter and easier to control, which is perfect for beginners or for techniques that require quick movements. Longswords are heavier but give you more reach and power. Their high-carbon steel design keeps them strong without being too tiring, and the leather grip makes long sessions comfortable. If you’re switching, start slow and practice basic swings and guards before sparring. Once you get used to the weight and balance, you’ll see how versatile longswords are, and they really expand your skill set.
