Cutting with Honshu Tactical Broadsword #broadsword #sword #honshu

Cutting with my Honshu Tactical Broadsword about a year ago.

The Honshu Tactical Broadsword runs a cost of $200 USD (depending on retailer) and is somewhat of a modern take (not even counting the tactical grip) on an Oakeshott Type XIIa. I say a modern take as the handle and fittings would be more suited to a later period sword while the blade type is more of an older period sword though the strange ricasso seems like a modern take as well since I am unaware of any historical Type XIIa swords that featured a ricasso of any kind.
