I've got one of the Swordcrafts Lichtenauers, and it feels right and handles well. Only areas I could say it doesn't quite duplicate the feel of real steel blades is that it feels stiffer and if it's hit, it does ring for quite a while, which could distract if you hear it... I do want a second one for a practice partner to use, I think that it'll get its best use if it faces a similarly equipped oponent.
Till I do get another one, though, it does handle quite well for solo drilling.
just a fun question, but what kinds of weapons are people getting for the holidays? I myself am getting a longsword, the downside is it is a Windlass, but I did get a chance to handle it before purchase. It is light compaired to many windlasses but also less whippy than some of the ones I have handeled lately. It was a decent price, lower than MRL sold it for when they carried it. It is the sword from that awful movie "a knights tale". But it looks pretty cool, and not so much like it was just for a movie.
