Harimoto ALC Vs Ovtcharov ALC

[hazzaa96]

Hi,

Can I ask whoever has tried both blades what are the differences?

Thanks

They aren’t hugely different, but I found the Ovtcharov to be faster and stiffer with a more dynamic feel - from me and my style a much better blade.

Luckily I tried, but it was a failed energy. Featureless compared to the Harimoto ALC and not even close to the much cheaper Long 5X.

Ovthcharov alc is faster because it is thicker. This is better for attacking and looping. Harimoto is good for blocking.
