Hi Gavin,

Thanks for posting these details.

Well, then perhaps we can say with some confidence that at least the edges of these particular swords were not intended for parrying.

As an afterthought, any chance of you posting the dimesions, such as overall length, blade length, maximum and minimum blade width, as well as weight?

Cheers
Chris
