sword question

[dwatts67]

I am close to purchasing either the Manjushree or duktu swords (not enough cash for both, yet ) I am a big guy (6'5" 250 lbs)
Those out there who own them, what do you like most about them? Which do you prefer? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Dave I don't know about the Dukti sword but I absolutley love my Manjushree
sword!!!!:thumbup: You aren't going wrong by getting it first.

My Dukti is slightly more nimble in the hand, probably on account of the lighter weight and the full tang. The guard on it however is a little thinner than I'd like.

Partial tang aside, I believe the Manjushree is a bit sturdier, especially the guard. It looks like it could stop a bullet. The weight is biased more toward the tip and it strikes with more authority.

I like both. If I had to get rid of one, it would be a very difficult decision.
