The long handle gives me way more control on two-handed swings than my old saber ever did. That flared pommel keeps my pinky from sliding off during fast exchanges, and the balance point sits right where I want it.

The angled cross guard really does let me catch and redirect my partner's blade instead of just blocking it, which has already improved my parries after a few sessions. The long handle gives me plenty of room for two-handed grips.

The flared pommel keeps my hand locked in during long sparring sessions, way better than the flat-ended hilt I had before. That angled guard lets me catch and redirect an incoming blade instead of just blocking it.
