Has anyone handled this weapon ? If so how is it?
Any complaints on their line at all actually?
And they claim it as a good representation of a proper 16th cen Lowland scots greatsword but Ive never run across anything close to it. Is it indeed correct for that time and place ?
Thanks

Did you see the photos of mine in my collection?

No I had not. Thank you it is indeed a beautiful piece. I know what Im getting myself for christmas now!
Thanks again

examined one at Sacrborough Faire last couple of wkends. little heavy in the blade, but no where as blade heavy as some of the Zwiehanders/Great Swords of say MRL or couple of other manufacturers. wish i had bought a Lutel B4 the tighter security measures drove up price on shipping. ben looking for a Twahandet Sword for some time but i don't like the flamberge blade of the current ones. wanted the parrying hook but... i may spring for the Lowlaner yet before the end of the Faire. handles good and doesn't overswing on me like a heavier swords been thinking of ways to lighten the blade but beyond cutting the fuller longer or draw file the blade to reduce the thiknes can't come up w/ anything. don't know if either would be feasible anyay, BUT it is talking to me strong. :lol:

I 've been interested in this sword for a while now, but as usual, I'm scared of what may be under that long grip. Anyone have an idea of what kinda tang we're talking about on this model? A rat-tail would be an invitation to disaster on a blade that size. Tang photos anyone???

I seriously doubt that Hanwei would use a rat tail tang on their lowlander considering they don't use rat tail tangs on their other models.
