Based on a Medieval European Hand and Half, or "Bastard" sword, with a low maintenance stainless steel cross guard and wheel pommel. The 20cm grip is constructed from timber, tightly wrapped in a flat cord for extra strength. The blade is 78cm in length and constructed from a rugged 1060 spring steel and through tempered for toughness and edge retention characteristics. Blade geometry is fantastic for fast cuts, with less emphasis on edge retention and more on outright sharpness. The scabbard is timber covered in faux leather with a metal drag to further strengthen and extend life. The balance of this sword at around 5cm from the guard, gives the blade in two hand grip an extremely lively feel, with great ability to aim in the thrust. Quite good for a sword in this price range and in fact good for any price range. Would be suitable for light with occasional medium cutting, and a great entry level European style cutting sword well worth the money.
