I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this sword, as I am considering it for my next purchase. Thanks

Are you looking at 2130 or 2133? I have a 2130 and I have also handled 2133. They are beasts of swords, historically accurate, very durable, handle right if you think of them as cutting swords meant to be used by armored men on horses.

more than 3 pounds and COG 7.5" out. . . wow THAT is a powerfully forward balanced sword. probably a sword meant for use from horse-back. not the sort of sword I prefer, but some folks love the heavy-weights.
I've been interested in Del Tin for a while now but just haven't gotten around to buying one.

I think that St. Maurice (if its based on the same relic as the Arms and Armor one) is based on a Type Xa blade; as such it would be more forward balanced- and much more suited to combat from horseback.
Other Type Xa's exhibit similar statistics, like the Albion Gaddhjalt (CoG is 8.75" out) or the Arn sword (CoG is 6"+ out). So it isn't unusual, but to us backyard cutters, those proportions aren't necessarily conducive to tatami or bottle cutting...but it COULD be.
I noticed the Del Tins have spiked up sharply in price, if KoA is any sort of barometer.
