Anyway, I find Indian SLO's of this kind to be quite good. The blade is good, as a beater anyway. The problem is with the tangs. You can regrind the tangs, starting from the forte so that you would have a better tang, then refix it onto the hilt. There you go, you have a good, shortened beater.

You are saying that the second sword with the green trifoil on the handle is worth preserving? What should I do to preserve it? Thank you.

I was pretty sure that the one with the red scabbard and easter-egg plastic ball for a handle would be OK to modify.
