Sword Features:
- Double-Edged Blade: The broad, straight blade features a flattened diamond-shaped cross section, making it an effective weapon for both slashing and thrusting. The narrow channel along the blade helps reduce weight without compromising structural integrity, allowing for greater maneuverability.

Guard and Grip Design:
- Subtly Curved Cross Guard: The cross guard has a distinctive design, curving slightly towards the blade and ending in bulging finials, which not only enhances the aesthetics of the sword but also offers excellent protection to the user's hand.
- Distinctive Pommel with Defined Angles and Faces: The pommel of the sword features a very distinctive angular design, which gives it character and good balance. The pommel ensures that the handle feels comfortable in the hand, improving control over the sword.

The scabbard is made of leather-covered wood, with an ornate brass ferrule and ornate cutouts at the tip. The leather extends to the mouth of the scabbard, covering part of the guard to protect the blade.
