"for training it's a tad light (training swords should weigh the same as their steel counterparts) but otherwise excellent. My only other criticism is that the edge needs attention from the owners/users in that the point is a little too sharp. . . taking this down takes little effort to ensure a training partner's safety."
"Almost exactly the same size as the real Honshu Broadsword."
"Like Kevin said, it's edged and pointy and totally unsuitable as a practice weapon unless you blunt the point and all edges. It's much closer to an actual weapon as-is and would absolutely puncture a human with a thrust. Totally great as-is for solo practice though. Honestly this is a pretty good value compared to other HEMA-specific stuff I've purchased over at Purple Heart Armoury."
"Been looking for a decent practice longsword and this is it. True, the tip is too pointy and needs blunting as do the edges. But the sword's lightness makes it feel lively in the hand. It's sturdy, though. Overall, this is a fine practice blade."
"Arrived quickly. Mine had the tip smashed/scraped off, and had a distinct bow close to the tip. Still completely useable and I expect to get lots of training out of it, despite the few imperfections."
"Got 2 of these!!! My son, who is a tween, can wield it with ease. We have had a lot of fun with them already!!!! These are a great practice tool. I would recommend these for practice or re-enactments. Weight is about 2lbs length is 43 1/2, just like it says... Another awesome product from Honshu. Thanks BudK!!!!!"
"I was surprised with how fast it arrived and after getting it out of the box I was glad to see it wasn’t damaged at all. I’m very with this."
