My Deuce was received about 2 weeks ago. This blade weighs in a just about 4lbs. The leather wrapped handle is 11 inches and the blade comes in at 23 inches. I ordered this one in the hammered finish and it looks fantastic! The edge is sharp enough to slice paper dragged across it from tip to about 3/4 on an inch in front of the hilt. At that point the blade was not sharpened fully. The deuce has a nice balance to it and can handled easily one or two handed. From the forged swords I've come across I have to say this is definitely on the higher end both in fit and finish and price for what you get. As far as the handle, the guys at Zombie Tools radiused the aluminum grips perfectly. It really feels great in the hands and the leather give it that extra grip. Overall impression is I'm very glad to have the Deuce and would have no qualms in recommending this fine piece to those who are considering obtaining a sword in the future .
