Handling Characteristics
The sword is quick and lively, carrying a solid blade presence that just screams "Cut something!" It easily sheers through all manner of pool noodles, clothesline rope, and rolled newspaper. The leather-wrapped handle provides an excellent grip. It's solid and tapered wonderfully with carved grooves. This style hilt gives the operator lots of freedom of movement and even allows a two-handed grip if you grasp the pommel. Although weighted more for the cut, this piece is also an excellent thruster with very decent point control.
