The Story

This sword was commissioned by the extremely talented @markdoesthings from TikTok and Instagram. He has very impressive routines he does with flaming swords, maces, light sabers and now he has a hand forged sword to perform with. The blade has a rounded tip and a dull edge for obvious reasons. In order to perform these acrobatic tricks the point of balance of the sword has to be right in the middle of the handle rather than out in front of the hand guard where it would usually be. This is achieved by having an oversized pommel that acts as a counter weight to bring the point of balance further back. By doing this it makes the sword around double the weight of an average European longsword. Mark has remarkable upper body strength and endurance, he makes swinging and spinning this sword around look easy.
