Damn, I thought I was the lone Scadian here... most all the 'importers' have good replicas, for wall hangers. Visually, they're good examples, but usually weak in the shoulder for 'insurance' purposes. Beef up the transition from the blade to the tang and you'll have a real winner. Personally, I think that my swords scared the populace, one of my 'Large Lad' customers took down a four-inch diameter oak tree with a single stroke. Turn your coupe into a convertible in a half dozen whacks...
