Absolutely solid, well balanced, and lively, but be aware that most HEMA duelling sabers are considerably lighter and somewhat longer (see the Gymnasium Saber). This is great against arming swords or messers. Fun with sword and buckler. Has enough curve to be useful, but not so much that you need to relearn anything. Suitable for "thumb up" grip.Been beating the snot out of it for 10 month
