First Sword

I've only had foam sabers prior to this from Purple Heart so using a sword that feels like the real thing is invaluable. It feels different and when doing techniques, you have to make sure edge alignment is there or it feels weird. Nothing much else to say aside from that it feels solid in the hand and is well built!

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.
