I wanted a practice sword that approximated the length and weight of my Bosworth Longsword and this sword comes quite close (it is actually 3-3/8 inches shorter and heavier than the Bosworth sword, but does quite well)
This is the first time I have bought a polypropylene practice sword (the others are made of wood). I am quite pleased with it and will be buying more of the polypropylene practice weapons in the future.
As an added bonus, I can take it into my medieval history class to show the students the size difference between it and the arming sword without violating the "no weapons" policy of the college!
