I have read an interesting review made by Lance Chan. This was really helpful. I am interested learning as much as possible regarding this sword... so any more comments/reviews/thoughts will be appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hmm... as of today, the sword's grip had begun to worn off with the leather peeled after months of usage. I'll have to re-grip it for my student in a foreseeable future. The sword is stiffer than the 15th century longsword, thus it can carry out cutting that involved other motions beforehand a bit better, such as a hanging counter, or cutting from ochs guard. However, it's also quite forward balanced. Long, and with a hilt that's not that long. So maneuverability isn't as good as the 15th century longsword. What else do you want to know, Van?
