![]() ![]() This info is provided to give you a good idea of the product being presented, the one you receive may vary from the specific one we took measurements of. Please note: Due to the hand made nature of these items, all specs should be considered as approximates. A very high POB will result in a sword that feels heavier than it actually is and is difficult to wield. In general, a low POB results in good point control well suited to a thrusting blade, while a higher POB adds impact to a cleaving blade. A POB of 3”- 5” usually results in a well balanced sword, but does depend on the type of sword. In practice however, there are many reasons why you may not want this for a particular sword. In theory a sword with a POB of 0” is perfectly balanced. A number of 0” would balance exactly at the guard, while a negative number will have a POB in the hilt itself. It refers to the point on the blade where the sword achieves a perfect balance. ![]() stands for Point Of Balance, this is measured in inches from the hilt down the blade. The sword is great but I have some problems one the kashira came lose to the point it could move freely but it was tied in the traditional style so that was something not very one does and the kashira traditionally was not glued on but held on by the end knots and the scabbards lacquer work was a little thin for my liking it chipped to easily for my liking but I will say this aside from these minor inconstancies the sword is great the blade is a fucking monster that will go though pretty much anything you put up to it and in my opinion your paying mostly for the blade and the scabbard is an extra that is thrown in with your purchase but aside from the problems I came to have the sword is great and I would recommend it to anyone the ito was tight and the ray skin is real but I suppose I should fallow suit and say that for the 700 dallors that you pay for the sword you should get a full wrap of ray shin and not panels but that is a personal thing I could care less if the wrap is full or not but if anything else I would say you get a superb blade that is high quality and strong and if I had to say the price split for the whole sword then it would be 575 for the blade 100 for the fittings and 25 for the scabbard all and all I love this sword and if these minor problems are fixed then the sword would be perfect ![]()
