Hanwei practical european style peened pommel swords

Great value for the money! In my group we have owned and/or used every practical european style sword hanwei makes. We have put them through rigorous blade on blade contact in many severe and unreasonable ways.

We have never had a peened pommel failure, only a few slightly loosened quillions, even by the time the blade has been retired from resembling a serrated steak knife.(took too many too hard hits unskillfully blocked).

My only gripe is the pommel on the hand and a half sword of the current version being too big for my liking. However, hanwei currently has plans for changing this.
