You might consider the XXX Princess of Wales saber, I recently bought one and love it. Be advised that the blade isn't a bulky or heavy model either.

Mine had the same problem, I bought mine from a different retailer so they ignored my emails altogether.

Will do. I already have one and find it light and nimble as well. Of course most of my experience with sword use is Renaissance rapier. A bit larger and heavier beast.

this one has all the right marks, wish I had the clams to grab it. I also found dead a Belgian briquettes with its original sheath, but the sheath is damaged in the center. Still at $150 I may pick it up.

i came across what appears to be an original 1860 US Navy cutlass this morning in a local antique store here in Pgh. It's in excellent condition with only minor discoloration on the blade and is light and truly nimble in the hand. i would have had pics, but i left my cell at home.
the piece was marked US Navy on one side of the blade and had the Ames mark on the other. it appeared to have been used , but not heavily and had been sharpened, but not recently or by an amateur. the blade wasn't sharp now. i believe it was marked at $600.

Don't bother trying to run, brownies can outrun a horse. I used to carry a smith mod 25 in 45colt. 600drou do and good pistol. You could also try one of those big single actions in 45-70.

The advice offered here is absolutely sound. Although I would suggest a 4 inch tube for all around use.

i carried one during my Army career [1980 to 1988 + 2 years reserve] as my field knife. I've done everything from dig foxholes to probe for mines. loved it and it never let me down. still have it packed away on my TA50.
