In the old days, the Heron Mark swords were made by blending metals to make a blade that need never be sharpened. Nor could it be broken. But today, the Heron Mark is a sign that the sword was made by a blademaster. Such swords are awarded only to he who has proven that he has the highest possible skill with a sword. We are very proud to offer a Heron Mark sword. The sword is hand-forged, and of a very tough high carbon steel. The guard and pommel are of brass, and the balance is simply superb. Authorized and approved by Robert Jordan, this sword is an accurate copy of those blades in The Wheel of Time series. Once you hold this blade in your hands, you realize how quick and deadly is the sword. A superb example of the swordmaker's art. Scabbard included. 42" overall. 32" blade. 2 lbs. 12 oz.
