Review: Hanwei “Lowlander“ Scottish two-handed greatsword

*** Specifications *** Length: 174 cm (68 1/2 in) - It looked longer in the video because it was resting on a wood block Weight: kg ( 7 1/2 lbs) Hilt assembly: Threaded hollow pommel Point of balance / center of gravity: 19 cm (7 1/2 in) from the guard Blade material: Unknown carbon steel Price: $265 - $300 *** Pros / Cons *** The only reproduction of this type of sword on the market (besides custom work) Reasonable weight and balance Good finish, no significant gaps between guard and tang / blade Very low price - Questionable durability (rattling noise, pommel loosened up quickly with use) - Mediocre sharpness - Lots of vibration in the blade and handle - The steel seems to be on the soft side (less than ideal tempering) *** Where to get it ***
