** Specifications **Length: 174 cm
** Specifications **
Length: 174 cm (68 1/2 in) - It looked longer in the video because it was resting on a wood block
Weight: 3.38 kg ( 7 1/2 lbs)
Hilt assembly: Threaded hollow pommel
Point of balance / center of gravity: 19 cm (7 1/2 in) from the guard
Blade material: Unknown carbon steel
Price: $265 - $300
** Pros / Cons **
The only reproduction of this type of sword on the market (besides custom work)
Reasonable weight and balance
Good finish, no significant gaps between guard and tang / blade
Very low price
Questionable durability (rattling noise, pommel loosened up quickly with use)
Mediocre sharpness
Lots of vibration in the blade and handle
The steel seems to be on the soft side (less than ideal tempering)
** Where to get it **
