if I had to carry a sword it would be this one, it feels massive like a tool but has finesse, its short enough that it does not get in the way , the balance is better than you would think, it fairly spoiled me when I look at distal taper as I am always looking for a solid forged line with a minimal taper or almost none.
all the fittings are still good and tight, minus the scabbard-- once I better figure on the compression will post pictures of what I think is the forge mark and some micro pictures with my scope on the steel, has some very interesting crystallization patterns .
