Shipped product appears to be only superficially different than what they had you test. Makers mark and some detail on the cross, otherwise could be twins (from the photos).

Conflict with Liberty Invitational.

My son only gets to grow up once.

Pre-order pool was pretty deep. Interesting handling and better finish than I expected for something that will probably get the snot beat out of it by most buyers. A bit more flex toward the tip than I expected, but that probably makes things safer. Don't really have anything to compare it against a...

Does anybody have any updated info on this?

Any update on exactly when this will be happening over the summer, and on location?

Thanks in advance!

David,

I guess I didn't do a good job of speaking clearly. I agree that a sword of that type should be up to the task. It just looks like the one in question may not be up to the task.

Sharps will take a bite out of you in an instant.

Sure the alignment issue was not your partners?

Really depends on the type of scabbard and the humidity where you store it. Leather is not good on the steel long term. A good wood scabbard with a decent lining should not cause much problem.

Before I blew a hernia which has taken me out of action, I started finding that voiding and targeting my opponents hands when they telegraphed attacks was often very effective. At least in our study group at the time. Not sure how technically valid the approach was/is, but I liked it.

Jeff, We'll have your test cutting itch scratched a bit before too long. Although the pending session will work with lighter targets, things about feel still hold true. When the target does not resist the cut, cuts that feel wrong have a tendancy to bend or move the target instead of cut it. Decent ...

Will be a member.

May even be a member now. Just waiting to get word that the check is cashed and I'm good to go.
