I want a turko-mongolian saber, but such a thing eludes me. What do you guys think if I got an RK 2 handed saber and cut down the tang, crossguard, and replace the pommel? Do you think it would be unweildly?

Not having any experience with that sword I’d say yes. You are taking a dedicated 2 handed sword and shortening the tang, reducing the effect of what counterweight there is making the blade presence more pronounced. Just my WAG.

You might want to see about just going custom. From what I’ve seen, Purna at GGK could probably do one, and I bet the price would be in the same ballpark as the RK plus the materials you’d need.
Regardless, share pics when you have the saber. I looove those steppe sabers.

I think Eric Bergeron or Brother Nathaniel can point you in the right direction though.
