There are few swords that are more versatile or effective than the "Bastard" or "Hand-and-a-Half Sword" It's reasonably light, fast as lightning in offense or defense and best of all forged from tough 1060 carbon steel with a hard spring temper. Equipped with two fully sharpened edges and a strong yet wickedly effective point it commands respect at first glance! Its long handle is suitable for use with both a one or two handed grip, and is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the Hand and a Half Sword's long blade the butt is capped with a "scent stopper" style pommel. An optional companion dagger is also available. Scaled down in size and almost identical in appearance, fit, finish and materials. In truth it makes a terrific off hand parrying weapon and can stand alone in its own right as a dagger you can wear with pride on any occasion. Every Hand-and-a-Half Sword and dagger reflects the highest standards in workmanship and materials. To safely house your sword and dagger, we have also included attractive scabbards made of wood covered with black leather, with steel throat and chape.

The blade is nice straight and sharp. The sheath is nice.

Just got mine a few days ago, and it’s a solid piece. The fittings are tight, and the balance sits about 5-6 inches forwards of the cross guard. well tempered and shock resistant against impacts on both the edge and flat. Holds edge well under testing against bamboo, taking dozens of strikes with no notable loss in edge sharpness. There are a couple of glaring flaws that come to mind tho: namely that the finish on the pommel is very scuffed and crudely done around the bottom where the tang sticks out the end; in addition, the blade itself came out of the packaging completely dulled and required extensive manual sharpening to smooth out the damage and return it to a satisfactory sharpness. Overall? It’s excellent for it’s price, but quality control issues definitely require consideration when making a purchase.

I love my new sword. It is my first battle ready sword and I plan to buy three more swords from three.

A perfectly competent sword, which is really the best you can expect at the price point. Decent handling and functionally sharp. There’s certainly room for improvement, but those improvements would likely increase the cost of the sword. The biggest thing you could do to improve it yourself is rewrap the grip with decent leather rather than the cheap-feeling leather it comes with. But for the price, that’s the kind of compromise you often have to make. I did a full review on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rNHgOzO1dv4

Can't say many bad things about this one. The blade looks nice, fittings are not perfect, but I would not expect it much better for this price. It cuts well, endures well, balance is fairly good. Blade could be sharper, since it arrived "dullish" out of the box and I have to fix it on the water stones. After that, it cuts just well (tatami, tatami+leather, water bottles). I'm not sure yet about structural integrity when it strikes against harder objects like bamboo.

The hilt and cross guard wobble significantly and I don't appreciate it.

I’ve been looking at purchasing this sword for years. It did not disappoint! Love the craftsmanship, the feel, and the weight. I am completely satisfied. Great job team!

It's a great product! It's a perfect size. It's nice and sturdy. It arrives with a nice edge on it already. The scabard is solid. And you really can't beat it for the price! It would slice some zombies if you needed it to lol.
