New Mortuary Hilt

Maker: Armour Class
Price: £150
Blade Length: 34"
Total Length: 41"
BOP: 4"

This is my lovely new Mortuary hilted backsword. It's a semi-custom piece from Armour Class in Scotland. So far it's only seen some light use with some very casual loose play, but has held up well with only the smallest amount of damage to the blade, especially when it's compared to the initial damage my cheaper Kasto bastard sword took on it's first use. The weight is just about perfect, although the balance I'm not sure on. It's further up the blade than my other swords, and you can feel the extra weight in the tip, this feels quite nice when swinging the sword though as it aids the swords momentum when swinging. The blueing on the basket, although not constant still has a very nice look to it.

All things considered I'm very happy with the sword, and look forward to really putting it through it's paces in the near future, especially through loose play, but also some drilling for some real impact to see how the blade stands up to it.
