A huge beast. Anything bigger would be a sword. Solid, well-fitted and quite sharp (cuts paper). The sheath is also great. Looks cool on a belt next to a revolver holster. I recommend it.
-
Fantastic, solidly made, I recommend it, worth buying.
-
Great equipment – it is a joy to look at – and let it stay that way.
