The only problem with owning the BS is that once you get used to working with it, other swords just won't do. It makes them seem clumsy.
That's the sort of thing that I love to hear.
I'd love to compare the BS and the Svante side-by-side eventually.
I have no idea about the Svante's tip. I recall reading that it was fairly beefy for strength, but I can see how that might inhibit good thrusts. So taking that into account, and the thick spine of the blade, I can see your point. I think I really need to see it close up.
