The Story

This was inspired from two reference photos my client sent me, which were two very different swords. We took the elements he liked from each of them and we came up with a hybrid of both. He wanted it to have some weight to it but at the same time be nimble in the hand. We agreed that a balance point closer to the hand guard would be best because it would have a faster recovery time after swinging it. By having the balance where it was it felt quite light and nimble in the hand despite it weighing 2lbs 8oz.
