That integrated tsuba has already saved my knuckles more than once during sparring, and the pommel balances the hilt nicely in my hand. Swings feel smooth and controlled, even on longer duels.

The wrapped grip feels way more secure in sweaty hands than the smooth hilts I've used before, and the pommel balances the weight nicely right at the top of my palm. Spent two hours dueling and my wrist wasn't sore at all.

The tsuba on the emitter really does save my knuckles during sparring, took a solid hit and barely felt it. Grip wrapping is tight and doesn't slip even when my hands get sweaty. Been dueling with it for a few weeks now and it's holding up great.
