Beatiful and bad-Raw as the original swords-Critique?Parachord and long hilt (due mani)two hands proper for longer blade,better the hilt (una mano e mezza)a hand and half,also for the type of fencing of these swords-
In my country there are many last names Salvati-
A regard from Italy

I am confused by your dimensions. If you add up the length of the blade and hilt of the sharp sword, it should be over 35 inches.

My sword expertise is very limited, but these look good to me.

Thanks Keith my mistake, that is supposed to be 35 3/8" for the sharp.

Marsus, thank you, the long handles are unusual but they were a request from the customer to be that long, it makes for some great leverage coupled with the center of balance right at the guard. There are not many Salvati's here in the US, I wonder if those in Italy are family ?

Thanks Matt!
