New(ish) sword
Sooo...this is my hand and half and my main blade at the moment. Its a a tinker hand and half with a bit of modification. (tengwar, rune and stars engravings, glued tree medallions on the pommel, sharpened quite a lot over the last few years I had it, shortened the blade and scabbard, made a new handle slightly longer than the old one) Its pretty fun to use, though lighter than what I expect from a western blade. Though I am not very learned in medieval or renaissance sword techniques....

It's quite lovely!
Yes, western swords are much lighter and faster than modern pop culture gives them credit.

Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.

Re: New(ish) sword
Yes, I suppose. All I handled before this sword was windlass (lots) and cold steel (bastard and viking sword) and those were heavier though. Hence the expectation
