Hi Nathaniel,
Thanks for your input. I definitely like my darb and the sword will definitely not fall out of the scabbard.
BTW, the pic of the guy with the sword is me. Dammit, every time I take a pic with one of my blades, someone gets a laugh out of it
Sent this pic of me with my badik to a friend of mine and she thanked me for making her laugh and helping relieve her exam stress.
Seller just got back to me and said it is definitely full-tang construction! I knew I had a keeper on my hands.
