You call that a sword, this is a sword
Aug 20 2008, 4:11 PM EDT http://www.trueswords.com/ichigo-bankai-sword-inspired-anime-tensa-zangetsu-p-2556.html "Buddha symbol guard with raised edges (all metal), chain half-link on end of sword, black finish carbon steel blade with red/black handle, and 68 inches overall (maximum ego). This sword is massive and sturdy from end to end with a 10 inch tang into the hardwood handle." 5'8" of sword, reach out and touch someone. Only $79.99 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: You call that a sword, this is a sword
Aug 21 2008, 12:48 PM EDT tang is probably welded on, the sword is probably made from poorly refined scrap steel, and it doesnt look very well balanced at all (something this size needs a nodachi-sized handle) For a blade that long you need at least 1 and 1/2 feet of handle, or weighted at the pommel, and preferably large pommel plus 2 feet handle. Full tang construction all the way down too. Additionally, in an alley or a medium density forest of a large hallway, this giant blade is useless in almost any indoor situation. Heavenly Sword Rating- F- My 29 inch blade Katana has more tang (11 inches) and a 14 inch overall handle Now that is torque! Heavenly Sword Rating- B- Do you find this valuable? |
