Combat Commander Trench Saber Sword

Just received this yesterday after it being on my want list for months. Order and delivery were great, the weight and balance of the blade seem perfect, but grok it if the trench knuckle guard finger openings aren’t made for a child with steel fingers. I’m not a huge man at 6’0” 230 lbs but I have to finangle my fingers into the guard, and then after a half dozen swings the metal spokes feel like they have smashed all finger flesh flat and are starting to dig into bone. I may take my Dremel tool and open up and smooth the finger holes and see if that helps. I sure as heck couldn’t wade into battle or even whack a few water jugs or melons without my hand saying ouch. Great blade otherwise, but a reasonably comfortable grip is pretty important. United Cutlery is better than this, I have a half dozen of their Combat Commander swords and they’re all quality blades

Overall not a bad purchase, my right ring finger sometimes gets stuck in the handle but otherwise feels comfortable. No blade wobble and feels sturdy.

Just received this "sword" from my sword of the month subscription. Not sure how they got the price point on this sword. It is tiny. Fits my 12 year-old son well. I can't get my fingers through the knuckle holes. It's about the same length as my replica of the 'sting' dagger from LOTR. I would never have bought this and am very disappointed that this came for the sword of the month.
