CAS/Hanwei Practical Single-Hand
After having played around with the "hand and a half" version of
this sword, several of my classmates got curious about the
single-hand version. Earlier incarnations of it were rather
heavy and difficult to use. The newer generation is heavily
fullered, much like the "hand and a half" version. I ordered
one to play around with and verify that this was actually the
case.
For a single-hand sword, it's light and speedy. Perhaps slightly
less so than the "hand and a half" but still a very viable
practice weapon that would wear out your wrist too quickly.
As inexpensive as it is, this is a viable option to use instead of
a wooden waster. My classmates have been impressed with the apparent
value.
