Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the Hanwei Norman sword because me and a close friend are joining a medieval recreational group, and they have a live-steel combat division.
I've only had the pleasure of trying this sword out once since I bought it, but it was fantastic. It really feels solid in the hand, and handles like a dream after a couple of minutes of getting acquainted with the way it's balanced. After a solid two hours of blade-on-blade contact, I only noticed minimal burring. Burrs are inevitable in this kind of thing, but I really want to stress how FEW there were.
I love the thing, and would definitely recommend it to anyone. The only thing that I could see someone having a problem with is that the Hanwei's don't "sing". That is to say, they don't make a super hollywood sound when they hit another sword. That was something I new coming into it and WANTED (because I was looking for accuracy as opposed to showmanship), but if you'd prefer a sword that makes that cool ringing noise, a Hanwei isn't for you.

An important addition to our European practical line is the Practical Norman sword, based on a classic 11th century pattern popular during the Norman Invasion of Britain. The high-carbon deeply-fullered blade is light and well-balanced, with the wide edges required by the re-enactment community. The guard is wider than that of the earlier Viking designs that preceded this pattern and the pommel is of the 'tea-cosy" type The grip is grooved and leather-wrapped and the scabbard is left plain for owner decoration.
