I recently acquired one of these {from another source, sorry guys, I didn't know you had these}. There is a small selection of this type of sword on the market and this one is on the high end of the price range. The adage that you get what you pay for is often true and in this case it is definitely true. This little beast is lovely and extremely well made and sharper than a razor. I haven't cut with it yet so I can't say on that but from what I see it will live up to Hanibal's recommendation. It is a beautiful example of the modern artisan's effort to do justice to ancient swords and a fine addition to any home defense system. Tee hee. Check out the history and literature on the Falcata. Pretty cool.
