Product Description
Part of the Honshu Historic Forge Series, this Single-Hand Sword was crafted using a time-tested sword design with modern engineering, giving you perfect blade-to-hilt balancing. It has a sharp 30 4/5”, 1065 high carbon steel blade with a black finish, which extends from a polished black handguard. The wooden handle is wrapped in black leather and the hefty pommel is black steel. The 40” overall sword slides smoothly into a black leather scabbard with metal accents. Honshu continues to expand its exceptional sword line and this sleek, tactical broadsword is a must-have for your collection!
I cannot get enough of this sword. It's 8lbs but I'm 6'2 and its not that big of a deal. A sword automatically raises your coolness factor by 50% but this one raises it by 70 at least. I've put this thing through hell and I've never had a problem.

Honshu blacked out bastard sword
To future buyers, let me note first that this sword is just over 8 pounds. Thankfully, it is very well-balanced and keeps the majority of the weight near the hilt, owing mainly to the large pommel. If you want a lighter blade, I'd recommend getting one of their more tacticool blades, or even one of the 3-4 trainers that are available. Now, as mentioned in the title, this blade would be more appropriately labelled as a bastard (i.e. hand-and-a-half) sword, due to the blade being a fair bit longer than a typical arming sword, as well as the hilt being able to comfortably fit two hands if necessary. Finally The bluing finish could be a bit more thorough on mine, as I did notice two small spots of plain steel upon closer inspection.
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase, however, as another reviewer stated, the title should be updated to something akin to bastard/hand-and-a-half sword.

It is a beast
It's a heavy sword but it feels good in the hand. Hilt is big enough to use as a hand and a half sword. Not that sharp, I can run my finger up and down the edge but that can be fixed. Overall, I really like it and it is a nice addition to my collection.

what a beast
this sword is definitely NOT a one-hander. It is a cleaver with a cinqueda style blade, fully four-fingers wide at the base of the blade. Despite its weight it is very well balanced and means business. From the description I was expecting something lighter. Even though it is not exactly what I wanted I still love it! The only reason I dont give it five stars is I feel that the description is misleading.
