Thanks for the info.

And only 6 lbs. That's pretty good for a 5 foot sword.

Well we know that there will not be any field trips to see this sword, it might give the students of NYC schools the idea of lopping off the arms and legs of their fellow students.

So we see the reproduction in the movie wasn't too accurate. Who cares, great movie.

"Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take away our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! "
