Early greek kopis reconstruction
#9
The balance point is around 10cm from the "crossguard", which makes the sword definitely more blade heavy than all of my 15th century one handers. It is not too heavy though, it still makes for a comfortable handling and holding, without making you feel the weight of the blade too much. You can definitely feel the unmatched slashing power when you swing with it, though. It was just an experiment, but I really like this sword, it must have been very effective back then.

In the old times, people were much closer to each other. The firing range of their weapons simply wasnt long enough Smile
