The second generation sharp German longsword from Paul Chen / Hanwei. (Hanwei refers to these as their "German bastard sword", but I'm always in favor of promoting proper sword terminology). Whatever you call them, these swords are magnificent! Sharp diamond cross-section tempered steel blade, solid construction with a large, firmly peened tang (note in picture 4 above). Antiqued blade, wood grip covered in leather, blackened steel guard and pommel, wood patterned polymer scabbard with blackened steel fittings.

The first generation of these swords had polished blades and fittings, and were a bit heavier and not as well balanced. Pictures and measurements are here.

Price: $235
