Review: Hanwei "Lowlander" Scottish two-handed greatsword

** Specifications **

Length: 174 cm (68 1/2 in) - It looked longer in the video because it was resting on a wood block
Weight: 3.38 kg ( 7 1/2 lbs)
Hilt assembly: Threaded hollow pommel
Point of balance / center of gravity: 19 cm (7 1/2 in) from the guard

Blade material: Unknown carbon steel

Price: $265 - $300

** Pros / Cons **

+ The only reproduction of this type of sword on the market (besides custom work)
+ Reasonable weight and balance
+ Good finish, no significant gaps between guard and tang / blade
+ Very low price

- Questionable durability (rattling noise, pommel loosened up quickly with use)
- Mediocre sharpness
- Lots of vibration in the blade and handle
- The steel seems to be on the soft side (less than ideal tempering)
