The blade looks like Pavel Moc's "tournament" blades - they're hollow ground with very wide edges (around 4 mm), but very light and quite flexible near the tip. Excellent sparring blades. Well, it just looks that way, it could be a trick of light.

Almost looks like it might be a blunt.

Its also worth noting that if it is a Pavel Moc, the wait for one like it might be a long one . His site has a note about some problems that have backed up his production. It does not go into great detail, but it does seem very clear he is having to work hard to get back to par.

Interesting. It's a beautiful blade. I do prefer the historic blade form, especially at this price point (720 Euro). The hilt is amazing.

Arma Bohemia has not only problems with the delivery ,also the quality isnt like the picturesof the weapons on the site seems to be. I ordered and paid a Dagger in August 2006,til March 2007 nothing happened only promises.Then i ordered a Swiss Dagger and a Pollaxe which where in Stock.When I got them,both pieces were rusty,poorly fixed together,and extreme cheap in quality. So beware when you want to buy stuff from them!

Experience always varies with all vendors. So far what I have received from them has been very good; pictures online and pictures sent in emails proved very representative of the final product. That said I hope your misadventures prove to be an aberration and not a trend.

I guess I'll find out one way or another since I have an order pending with them.
