The point in witch a sword can balance on a finger is 1 inch or less from the hilt or hand guard. So that statement is true.

My long sword is to light at the grip. But, I believe unless you fill the pommel and grip with metal, the material is not giving you any more. Still a good thing for basic training, If you are more advanced use the real thing.

Never seen the movie. .. but it looks like one sword with a 1/8" gap between the two, cool sword for the price! Thinking of getting another for a friend

I have no idea. We no longer have this toy. The cross guard which is the blue that is above the handle grip broke off easily. This toy didn't last too long as my kid loves to sword battle.

it is a bastard sword so as long as you're a relatively strong dude, you should be able to wield with one hand

This was a gift for my daughter but her and I have both used it. Neither of us have had any problems with the balance, and have always used with one hand without difficulty.

It balances sideways and not blade skyward, as we need to belly dance balance with. The answer is no... it won't work. Your best bet is to look for a Kilij or Talwar prop (or if you can afford it, antique) sword. Both of these are generally balanced for fighting and point skyward when put on your head. I use an antique Talwar schimitar in my set and have for over 10 years and it balances perfectly. I hope this helps! On review of this sword, its BEAUTIFUL. I'm so glad I added it to my collection!

Hi there, the balance point of my blade is +- 6 inches down the blade, measured from the tsuba.

Well every sword does have a certain weight but if you have swords like I have (since about 5 years old and am 18 now) most swords are pretty lightweight I would say this sword to me feels about 2-4 pounds so it is probably in reality 7-9 which is light for a full tang sword.It feels easy in my hand but again that is because I have experience with swords

J.- My sword is a curved bone sword that's 34", I had the same question, thinking would it be okay for curved, it should be fine for straight.

It's a little over 2 pounds. This is a little lighter than most steel swords of this type, but the weight on steel swords is much better balanced since a great deal of the weight is concentrated in the pommel. This is *not* a disadvantage when training, however! The forward weight of this practice sword forces you to use good body mechanics and will teach you to swing the sword properly. It is perfect for the new swordsman to teach one how to swing a sword; and the fact that it is nigh indestructible makes it an excellent "pell sword" for an experienced swordsman.For actually learning blade-on-blade techniques or for sparring, you need a different type of sword.

The sword itself is not very heavy. However because of its length you will need a bit of dexterity and arm strength to keep your swings accurate and strong.

The way it is constructed, is is a simple loop, so the weight of the sword pulls it in to the position shown. Just looked at it and cannot figure out how to set it up for a back mount. It does work well as shown.

It does have counter balance men. What that means if you are not familiar is there is a metal weight in the head of the man to make the head of the man equal in weght to the foot of the man.

The balance is good. As far as a numerical measurement of weight goes I can't say, but it is definitely not as heavy as a real katana.

yes it has a ribbon on the back of it hangs off about 2 and a half feet for so. its a solid sword but when i go to battle i prefer carbon steel but this made of carbon would weigh like 40 pounds its useable at this weight.

Yeah, the sword is 57 inches. It's taller than some people. It's also very heavy.
