I bought this. No Im not a LARPer. I use it for sword practice with my friends for fun and for light training. Its probably my 2nd favorite training sword from Cold Steel, my favorite being the bokken. I've had quite a few rough battles with almost all the cold steel swords and this one seems to be in the best shape out of all of them (40+ matches). The guard hasn't given me any problems and I think this is the largest and comfortable western training sword that cold steel has.

Swords like the hand and a half were meant for heavy cuts and not necessarily cuts, they were meant for easy mobility and massive swing power to cut through people with ease, and to knock an armored enemy off their horse. Most swords of that nature have more weight on the blade to achieve a greater force in the swing.

Wooden or metal please answer?
@BigSkippy1263 I should amend that. It's more like telling a marksman to practice more when he mentions his sights being off. The flaw is with the weapon, even if sufficient skill/strength can overcome it.
Looking at your comment tells me you aren't particularly familiar with martial arts involving weapons and just want to do a macho He-Man/Conan act. If you don't know what you're talking about you shouldn't be posturing and talking smack.

If this is a training sword it is blade heavy for a reason. It is supposed to build your forearms and wrists. It's like light resistance training, and it's something that even the Romans used.
