@Eva04master Need to clarify that. You look like my 8th grade Civics teacher

Mr. Busch?

this sword is NOT a rat tail tang people....the end of the FULL TANG is THREADED so the pommel can go on. this is verry common in production swords so they can be dissassembled for maintenance. if ths was a rat tail tang it would break under the weight without swinging it.

@TheGrimAvenger There's a website called Sword Buyer's Guide, just google it. It's pretty basic stuff for modern sword collectors, though if you're looking for knowledge on historically accurate swords then they aren't a good source. But they provide some rather nice recommendations for swords currently on the market, and they have a good system for making sure you aren't buying something crappy.

@HamsterPants522 I have broken several swords that had thicker handles and not such a heavy blade. I really wanna believe that this sword can survive but common sense won't let me :( You're right that this sword will break immediately upon any real contact. Where's this sword guide/ what would you recommend getting. Obviously looking for long heavy ones X)

May I remind that this Bidenhaender is on the top of european battle swords in terms of weight! Swords which are heavier were pure decoration, so called "bearing swords" never intended for battle. And even with 170cm length and 3kg it performs without any sign of "brute strength", absolutely effortless cutting. Not a bludgeoning tool but fierce slasher, as everyone can see, contrary to the well known popular myth.

This sword was purchased at Kult of Ahtena

From what I've seen of reviews for this sword, I would totally want to buy it, were it not for the fact that it has a thin threaded rat-tail tang, and the hollow shaft to hold the tang is poorly carved, so it is too tight in some places and rattles in others.
the pommel is not solid, and if it were the ballance would be even better.
I honestly will not buy a sword that has a small tang, under no circumstances, because I cant trust it not to snap, it may break at any moment.

True enough but that being said, pretty much any sword you buy won't have a much thicker tang. Typically around 1/4 inch which this one has. And as for breaking, well any sword you buy can break. Unlike in Hollywood, swords are not indestructible. They all have their limits. The cutting I've done with this sword would be considered by most to be destructive testing or sword abuse and mine has not broken yet. Will it in the future? It may and it may not who knows. But it has survived thus far.

Yes, this leaves me perplexed, I can't seem to figure out how you could have such a massive sword with a rat-tail tang, and the blade hasnt snapped off yet.
It's certainly no wall hanger, but this sword was not designed for real combat, and in those conditions, I would expect it to break very quickly.
If you read up on some of the swords they have on Sword Buyer's Guide, they have some good examples of swords that almost never break. I'm not advertising for them or anything...

I would definitely love to get another version of this sword with a much thicker tang. But as for not being combat ready, i disagree. With the stuff I've put this sword through off the camera, i would take it into battle any day. And like i said before, this doesn't mean it won't ever break, but it is pretty tough so far and I'm impressed. Hanwei puts out a pretty solid product and i stand behind it. I have several other swords with the same 1/4in tang and they are all tough as nails as well.

How did you sharpen the lowlander?
