I designed these with a friend of mine in mind. Each is really a two-handed sword, but I made them from pine, which makes them BASICALLY light enough to be one-handers, if you're like me and like the bull-in-a-china-shop approach...
I'm a big fan of the "S" pattern curve and I think it gives these an elegance that nicely contrasts with their DEADLY nature! Though the angulature of the hilts sometimes causes wrist-poking... Not really a problem if you hold an inch or two down the handle, but that causes control issues, and so forth... All in all, mostly decorative. Doesn't mean I wouldn't use them in a fight, though! Course I like a broad sword.
