Yes, Reclaiming the blade is a very good film, there is something for everyone, including HEMA, SCA and re-enactment enthusiasts. And those who simply love swords. Sadly, Paul Champagne, the swordsmith featured in the film, passed away in 2009 from a heart attack, the late Hank Reindhardt also appears in the film.
