I just received my sword today and it is gorgeous! Lovely design, really solid handle, and it balances beautifully. Plus it got here so fast!
I'll get a picture of it sometime in the near future, hopefully. It's much heavier than the dinky sword I had before, but it feels so sturdy!
Thanks Kittie! You've made me a happy woman.
Now to figure out where to get a scabbard and/or make one...
