Detlef,

This one just looks like it has a wicked balance and weight. How does it handle?

Hello Charles,
I don't have it here in Germany, it's still by the very kind forum member who have given me the great help to acquire it. Maybe he can comment in this matter!?

Regards,

Unfortunately because of physical limitations I cannot give a truly accurate description of how it handles, but will do the best that I can. As I am really not used to handling this style of sword and with the POB being 5-1/2" from the guard it seems a bit point heavy to me when being used one-handed. With a two handed grip it is a completely different matter and handles beautifully feeling very light and fast. I hope that my poor description helps to answer Charles questions.

Best,
Robert

I remember too Charles had posted one with a similar handle and guard.

Thank you Nathaniel. Also for the link, the mark in post #5 from Mark seem to be the same as by mine.
