Does anyone know how the pommel nut, grip and decorations on the current production Cold Steel Gim looks like? In Paul Southren's review of the sword they look like this:
However, in the product pictures of the sword at Kultofathena.com the grip, pommel nut and decorations looks like this (which I think is far less attractive):
And then I found the following picture in this forum thread on here, with yet another look, and what appears to be a grip like in the first picture, but without a brass cross pin:
I know the sword isn't historically accurate, but I generally like the looks and price of it, and judging from the review mentioned above, it seems to perform great at cutting as well. However, the question of how the grip, the pommel nut and the decorations looks in the current production swords, bugs me a bit. Is anyone able to share some light on this?
(I hope this is the correct forum for this kind of question.)
