There has been a lot of digital ink spilt over the aesthetics of this sword, however I'm interested in how it handles and the other aspects of it. Has anyone had the opportunity to handle one of these yet? What are your impressions?

Thanks!

Mine in in transit and I should have it next week so I can give my personal impressions of it or at least what I think it feels like.

As mentioned in that other Topic thread it does have some modern type features that make it un-historically correct.

I may or may not find that annoying and may or may not give it the home project treatment to change the grip and age the finish.

At least from that other Topic I bought it knowing about the criticisms, negative and positive.
