The blade is hand forged and made from high carbon steel, with a nice contrast created with the blued steel guard and pommel. The rosewood handle is riveted to the sword's full tang, and it is reinforced with a steel chape and throat, which has also been blued to match the guard and pommel. The sword comes with a scabbard, covered with black leather, reflecting the original style. The overall length of the sword is 42.25", with the blade measuring 32" in length. The combined weight of the sword is 64 oz. With its simple, yet stunning look, this sword is a must for the serious collector!
