The octagonal shape of the guard flows around the handle to the pommel. Also, the handle is asymmetrical, deliberately, with the right side swelling somewhat to fill the palm under the nagel. This is a fast blade with serious slashing and chopping ability, and also a wicked point. The false edge is somewhat sharp, and this weapon can deliver back-slashes well.

She has a popular Facebook account and you may find her at the 2020 Blade Show!
