Because of the length, there is some flex in this blade. Based on customer testing, that is historic as real steel ones had the exact issues. Its a real long blade. Do not expect this to be perfectly stiff, you must work your training around this. I've talked to many customer.
HEMA guys, I know this is odd, but its how physics work. Folks with an Asian Martial Arts background understand this and adapt to it.
Very Strong for intense training.
