Tbh, many originals – especially medieval ones – weren’t made to super tight tolerances. Some Windlass products ain’t that bad, some ain’t bad at all. Of course most are far from the "real thing", and probably especially the sabers. Doesn't mean they don't make some quite nice handling ones, too.
My original military 1912 Klewang had that “machete style” to it, too.

be that as it may. we have learned how to make good stuff. a sword is just a big knife. every buck knife i've seen is perfect. it is possible for windlass to do the same. they just don't feel the need.
i still say this group could make them think better QC is a good idea.

If you mean the 1907 "bebut", no, it's an entirely different sword, much shorter and lighter. Not a bad weapon in its own right, though. The M1881 saber is based on the Cossack shashka, the M1907 on the Caucasian kindjal short sword or heavy dagger.
