Hey all, I got this one recently from another seller who did the customizations to it and it's nice but single handed swords just aren't my thing. the blade has been reprofiled to be a bit slimmer and have a finer point. Grip has been redone in higher quality brown leather with risers added for better handling and appearance. The grip shows some signs of wear but is still comfortable and the seam is very nice. It Has been used to cut and the blade shows very little signs of wear (light scratches/scuffing) from use but is in excellent working condition (no rust, dings or chips). The weight for me is too heavy but that's probably because I just don't like the way this type of sword is meant to be held. It also includes the original black leather scabbard and fits very well. Overall Length 36 1/4'' Blade Length 30 1/2'' Weight 2 lb 6 oz (Rather than 2 lbs 8 oz on the original) Edge Sharp Width 51.4 mm POB: Roughly 6" (Rather than 5 3/8" on the original) Pommel Peened Grip Length 3 7/8'' 5160 High Carbon Steel Asking $200 shipped.

It is pretty amazing how much the hilt rewrap really improves the look of this sword. Has the hilt hardware (pommel in particular) been roughed up to look more matte than the normal super shiny Hanwei finish?

Unsure why but I think it looks way better.

Sharp blades are good to have, if Shire-folk go walking, east, south, far away into dark and danger.

I'm the original owner and did the hilt and grip on this. I just wet sanded the pommel and cross guard with 1000 grit sand paper to get rid of that chromed look an get a more satin finish.
