As far as I know, this is one of two synthetic wasters on the market specifically patterned after the Oakeshott type XIV, and is by far the less expensive model. The blade profile and weighted pommel scales result in a surprisingly nimble weapon that flows through cuts and wards with ease, and the paracord hilt wrap is quite comfortable. I will note the version of this sword I received does not have the triple fuller-like slots in the forte, though it doesn't seem to have suffered for their exclusion. The balance point is still fairly close to the cross, though not so much that it feels like it lacks authority in the cut. Paired up with, say, a Cold Steel buckler, and you've got yourself a nice introductory tool for i.33 techniques. These seem to run about as much as the Rawlings synthetics, so you may need to weigh the advantages of having a better dedicated piece vs. the Rawlings' modular nature.
