Nice sword
"Overall, I like the sword; good edge for hacking and thrusting and WILL cut you, I may give it a new one though: make it a bit finer. It is really well balanced, steadies right where the ricasso meets the edge, if it had a distil taper and a shorter pummel it would be even better. The real issues though are mainly component alignment and the tang: the tang slot was not milled out evenly and centered and you can see the unevenness; it does not however affect the balance. That leads us to the other issue: the tang. Due to the tang slot being uneven it leaves a slight gap from which you can barely see one side of tang, if it was a good, wide tang I wouldn't care as much but it's clear that the tang is rather on the narrow side which decreases the strength and overall durability. I have three different of these Pakistani-made swords and this is one of the two decent ones. Overall I do like this sword, it has a good design and balance and can be used with one or two hands; though you may want gloves as the edges of the guard or a little sharp. I definitely suggest this for a collector, practitioner or for cosplay."
