I'm totally new to swords - what's your take on LAST LEGEND???

[FliGuyRyan]

I was thinking about a Mikusa, but I have no idea about which terms mean what:

That's the ordering page... can anyone help me out of this one?

My apologies if Last Legend has already been discussed before in this forum.

P.S. I would want it to be actually usable and sharp - able to go to there annual show:

Have a read of this website. There is also a 'Visual Glossary'.

http://www.lclark.edu/~ltyau/Swords/ll.html - outdated... but the quirkyness of the handle, which COULD lead to failure (though, to my knowledge, has not - though admittedly haven't looked hard).

All in all, good mat cutters, with tempered blades that tend to be on the soft side. The earlier generation (not what you're looking at) IMO has really awkward curavture. Have not handled the newer generation, but it looks a lot better.
