I just ordered the Antiqued version of the Scottish Basket Hilted Broadsword!

I'll post my thoughts about it when it arrives!


[Edit] I was wondering, how sharp is the antiqued version? No where near Katana sharpness right? (I'm still a bit uncomfortable with extremly sharp blades, even though I keep all of my knives as sharp as I can get them.)

It just arrived! It's beautiful! Though I wish I could have gotten the antiqued hilt without the antiqued blade, it's still very nice looking.

One thing though, the very tip of the blade is... I don't know how to describe it... like someone stabbed something hard with it? It's only a small imperfection, but I wanted to know, is this common with swords? Should I return it for a new one? Also, when it first arrived, I thought the blade was a little warped, but now I can't tell.


By the way, the basket liner seems much improved over previous models I've seen photos of. Were th older one suede?
