Very nice. Classic and handsome. I too, consider the Reeve one of my most wanted.

How's the handling on the Reeve, always was curious how they felt. I am not a sword martial artist or a cutter so take my answer with a grain of salt. It is very balanced and feels light for the size of blade. My Albion Norman is quicker, but it's blade is slimmer and the overall weight may be a bit lighter. I think it is a wee bit faster and lighter than my Albion Prince. All three of my Albions are very well balanced and exhibit no abnormal front heavyness. I have a Dark Sword Type X which I do like and is very similar, but it is night and day a step down in weight and balance.

I had been tempted by the Dark Sword Type X when I was buying my first one ....loved the overall aesthetic, except for the shiny blade. It was going to be for display, not cutting, so I was not too concerned about weight/balance. In the end I figured if I was going to pay 2/3 of a Reeve, I'd wait and buy a Reeve
