You actually wouldn't be noticing that much difference between an Albion's sword compared to one of Brendan's. At least when comparing the fantasy swords. There actually isn't much to compare here because aside from the few filmswords albion makes most are period recreactions, and I don't think Brendan has made any medieval period swords at all. But they both concentrate on the feature which I was dramatically babbling about previously.
I think what your referring to here is perhaps a fable sword with a Jody Samson sword. The common ground there would be imagination and the right feeling when you hold the sword. If you prefer a fantasy sword over a medieval one like me, then you would no doubt understand this.
I've seen and/or heard guys (including myself) that look at a Jody sword and say, Nah that looks weird, or wrong, fuller shouldn't be like that, looks off balance etc. Only until they actually picking it up, and then you start to hear them say, hmmm... hang on that dosen't feel that bad, I might get used to this, still looks weird, feels nice though. Then comes the temptation to swing it around, but first you run your thumb over the edge, and become even more surprised to find out the edge is not only very sharp but keen enough to make instant accidental be-headings, gut spillings, and limb amputations. So then they just concentrate on resisting the urge to swing it around, and just grip it tenderly like a new born baby, while starring at the now recognized very unique piece in their hands and quietly marvel at the art, quality, effort, power, responsibility and value of it all.
To say the least anyway.
I feel the details were necessary because even as I'm typing this, the awful sinking feeling comes back yet again, that Jody is gone and the world will never see any more of his creations.
