Feels good for me and my sparring partners

Good balance and weight for safe sparring. I am able to fit a medium saber sparring glove within the guard.

Beautiful, handled well, great weight

People can’t help but pick it up and swing or dance with it. It has beautiful simplicity, and I have been telling a lot of people about them.

Very nice

Feels solidly built and nimble in the hand. A respectable amount of flex in the blade makes it safe for thrusting. One small negative- the guard is a little small and not all of my gloves will fit inside it.

Feels great in the hand

Just as described very happy with my purchase. Would buy from again.
I haven’t spared with them yet but they feel solid and well built. Feels great in the hand.

Fantastic Training Weapon

This is the kind of weapon that makes you want to fence just by holding it. I fell in love the moment I picked this saber up. It is far lighter than one might expect and maneuvers extremely well. My one complaint is that I was not expecting a brand new weapon to have such tarnish and wear on the knuckle guard and cross guard portions, but this is a superficial issue and not a serious drawback. I will absolutely be buying another of these, and likely soon.
