Great but...
I love Purple Heart, my #1 place for hema. I love this sword and have held 4 of them. My own however sadly shipped without a peened pommel, so it basically fell apart immediately. I had to peen it, but unfortunately the process caused the folded tip to snap off when it slid out of vice. I had to grind it to be safe but with the tip + limited flexibility of the blade it is not safe to thrust with,

Pommel kept breaking off
I have had 3 of these in the last 3 months. The tang snapped inside the pommel on each of them within a couple minutes of use. Purpleheart has replaced each one, but the quality of the sword is very poor. Hopefully the next one will be better quality.

Marvelous Sword
I bought one of these a while back and have loved it ever since the first swing. It's well made, well weighted, and a joy to wield. I like it so much, I just bought a second one.
