Medieval Wooden Short Sword

I received this waster for my birthday a couple years back, but didn't think to write a review until now. This is a quality waster at a bargain price. It stood up to full power blows from a friend's seasoned bokken (I'm not exactly sure what type of wood that beast is made of, but it's indestructible) without even a crack. Calling this blade a short sword is a bit of a misnomer unless comparing it to its bigger brother that SoM sells here. Also, it should be noted that due to the rather cylindrical pommel design, it functions quite solidly as a hand-and-a-half sword. I've already got my eyes on a few other wasters here (particularly the Chinese ones and the Spartan set).
