Re: Jun/18/08 - Egyptian Sword and Aka'i Red Silk Veil
I am not a sword expert but I think it balances pretty good. It's just heavier than the sword I used to using. It also has a little widening on the balancing side, I tried to capture it in one of the photos. I know that this detail makes it look less real, because it's not sharp, but it also helps balancing. Hope this helps.
