Great sword indeed! - Cold Steel Two Handed Great Sword

It is the greatest and biggest sword I own. Even though I have studied martial arts
and had weapons training, I have no intention of weilding a blade against a living
being. The main purpose is to exercise the hands, wrists, forearms, arms, shoulders
and chest. This sword is meant to be used with both hands and probably from a horse
back in the day. If you are strong and fit try it with one hand. Swing it carefully and watch
out for your feet! It is expertly wrought and extremely sharp on both sides right out of the box.
The handle is massive and feels very secure. Beyond the large hilt is a smaller secondary hilt.
The blade between them is unsharpened and coated with a rubbery substance which allows
the bearer to grip the sword there for extra support during use. It doesn't come with a scabbard
but I will seek to have one fitted for it. I display the sword hanging with hooks in the wall.
It draws lots of comments from my guests, and perhaps a little fear
and respect. There is no hiding my obsession with this blade in hand. It was a thrill
to remove it from the box and realized what I had purchased.
