The replica is adjusted for fencing.
The blade is double edged without any fuller. The pommel has got a triangular shape, it is rounded on the top, type T.1 according to Oakeshott. The crossguard is straight with a nose.
The sword has got a massive heavy pommel, that allowed moving the point of balance (CoB) closer to the crossguard. CoB is 6,5 cm from the crossguard. Distribution of the material, blunt grinding and placement of the pommel set the pivot point P1 on the tip of the sword and the pivot point P2 at a distance of 17 cm from the crossguard. The sword does not resist and behaves naturally when rewinding to different positions.
