Disclaimers: This sword was sent by DSA for review. I did not pay for it. This sword is a factory second, though it seems close to what a new blade would be. *DSA did note to me that these were cosmetic and tempering issues. The blades both have a curve to them. I don’t see the curve in the blade so they must have keener eyes than I do. I don’t study HEMA, keep in my thoughts that of an enthusiast and not an expert. Notable review type things.. The bad. The blade feels hefty in a bordering on bad way. The hilt has pointy bits that can hurt your hands. The blade is a little more wobbly than it needs to be. The did not cut bottles or noodles well. The Good. The shape is handsome and somewhat unique. The furniture is detailed and has depth. For smashing targets, it was comfortable in my hands. Not a lot of shock to the user.
