To be completely honnest, I'm kind of underwhelmed by it.
First, I went for the squared AB for a bit more accuracy. Even if misplaced. And it's really hard on the hand.
It's still easy to handle with one or two hands, but I'm unsure about dueling.
And really, I think the problem for me was that I received it with the Guardian. Wich I did not expect. And I fell in love with it.
Point for the video.
Give it time, and take it on its own merits; you just might find it growing on you. And if it's rough on your hands, a pair of gloves with some kind of padding might help - I have a saber from one of the other guys that's got a few rough edges for my hands, but I have a pair of motocross gloves that solves that problem nicely. Plus it's a badass look, LOL.
