This is a reproduction of a sword from the Witcher 3, by Chris Fields of Sterling Armory. I got a good look at it while visiting Kane Shen (@FortuneFavoursTheBold), and we did some test cutting with it both at his place and @AcademieDuello.
@KeomegaManAtArms also joined us for the test. He has plenty of HEMA videos, so check out his channel too.
Quite a beautiful sword. Slender, elegant, and super nimble. It actually feels a little *too* light in my hands, personally. It cuts well with good edge alignment, but it's not particularly forgiving. Very cool to try out!
