A Modern take on the old Longsword Design

"There is definitely no buyer's remorse here! The sword seems to be very sturdy and we'll put together. The scabbard is not gloss or painted; but wrapped in what looks to be a matte black plastic shrink wrap (not that this is a negative, but the pictures lead me to believe otherwise). I purchased this sword due to it's clear connections to the longsword, and can say that it definitely met my expectations. The blade is light and has a good amount of flex and spring. Although it wasn't razor sharp out of the box, it did come sharpened. The handle is comfortable, and the pommel is proportionately weighted to make the blade easy to weild. Personally I love the practicality of it; the partial blade on the back side of the sword allows for worry-free shoulder carrying, or a place to put a hand for additional pressure should the need arise. The lack of a cross guard is barely noticeable, and from a "modern" standpoint, not at all a bad decision as the likelihood of running into someone else with a large blade is unlikely. I can say I definitely appreciate the thought that went into the design of this sword. There are imperfections over the blade as is to be expected, however I honestly don't think that they're worth mentioning considering the price and overall quality. I wouldn't want the little negatives to overshadow what it is; What you get is by all accounts a very fair quality sword that, if used as it was intended, seems like it would last a lifetime (this does not include chopping wooden objects unless your life depends on it...sorry). Like any tool, take care of it and it will do the same to you."

"I have started to abuse the sword. Before sharpening to a smaller bevel angle, I delivered some pretty full powered hits onto fairly hard targets. The sword does not feel like it will break the way I've seen videos show heavier blades break at the tang (spartan and conqueror), because it has more flex to absorb shock. I was a little surprised to successfully bend the sword ever so slightly, it's not possible to fix it because it's not bent enough to fix, but there is a perceivable warble near the end of the fuller. Then I spent my morning now sharpening first filing to a more aggressive bevel angle, then honing with up to 1000 grit stones, and firstly I don't fear the edge will be compromised, it feels strong, it's not crumbling away like some blades do, it feels like a good sword. It cuts much better, less power and more relaxed technique, but still not like a katana. Straight blades are inherently more difficult to cut with, however, and it is outperforming others of my swords, with the only better performers likely being a result of their lighter weight (one handed cutting, I didn't do any two handed cutting), which allows me more control and less "swing and pray". The double-edged sword IS a bit heavy for one handed use. ,,,, It does feel like the handle will develop a rattle at the handguard one day, but feels like it will not affect performance. Overall I would rank it highly value for money, if you don't know about swords, this is a good place to know what a good one is like. A lot of recreation swords do not perform well in the cut until they are significantly more expensive."

It will take time to properly review, but first impressions

"immediate impression is big and heavy. It feels good and powerful in two hands, but does not have a thin edge geometry, instead it is clearly oriented for thrusting and for having an edge that you don't want to grab. It's not REALLY designed for cutting, but the obtuse edge geometry is durable and DOES cut bottles if you hit correctly. The reason I wanted the sword was to work on my cutting technique when using swords that are primarily designed for thrusting and it's very good for that because many other swords don't hold an edge as well as honshu. The sword has a nice distinctive sound during a swing which really helps you work on your speed. It DOES cut but because it is challenging, it will offer obvious improvements with better technique and increased swinging power, so I am hopeful that it is a great cut trainer. The sound carries lots of information, the cut quality changes dramatically with the change in the sound, and the sword is JUST heavy enough to give exercise but NOT heavy enough to make it hard to use. I wouldn't sharpen it, just leave the bevel at it's angle and practice making that cut for you."
