    Great Sword for the Price Being used to larger, heavier Viking-style swords, the Henry V sword was a pleasant surprise. The blade is fairly short, and the diamond cross section makes it reasonably stiff. The rather large wheel pommel provides enough balance to make the sword fast and responsive.
    It seems Hanwei swords are shipped as “sharp,” however, all of the ones I have purchased still require some further sharpening. And the Henry V is no exception. It is a minor problem–mostly just a cleaning up the edge. Once that is done, it is a very nice sword. It looks great hanging on the wall, and is easy to handle in cutting and thrusting. The scabbard is well made and complements the look of the sword. The Hanwei Henry V is certainly worth the retail price–and it is a real bargain here.

    Very good, should be great. The original is said to be one of the greatest swords ever made. The hollow ground blade makes it very light and maneuverable. Hanwei started a hollow grind, but then seemed to realize that it was difficult. They went ahead and beveled the edge. This defeats the purpose of a hollow grind and makes the blade weigh more than it should. If I had known this before buying it, I might have gone with a different manufacturer.
    Having said all of that, of the seventeen European swords that I own, this is my favorite. Truly a beautiful sword.

    Great sword. I’m so happy I bought this sword, for it’s price it’s amazing. Extremely solid construction, it’s simple yet draws the eye to it and handles very comfortably and balanced.

    I love this sword! This is my first sword, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but this truly feels like a solid, functional weapon. Nothing rattles or moves and the blade is wicked sharp! First thing I did is slice a plastic gallon of water into ribbons :) It also has a wicked tip on it. I can drop it blade down from an inch up and it sinks through cardboard boxes just from its own weight. I opted not to go with the sharpening service and was expecting a fairly blunt edge, but I actually think I could shave with this thing! But enough about how sharp it is. As I said, the blade feels very solid and 1066 is supposed to be a great steel for blades. The leather is nice but is a solid piece (I would have preferred the grip was wrapped in leather cord). There are some imperfections (a few scratches, hammer marks, etc.) but I think that just adds to the handmade authentic feel of the blade. The sword is apparently less than 3 lbs, but spread out over a long blade it feels much heavier than that in my hand (time to start working out I guess). The only other thing is the peened pommel seems a little flimsy. I would have preferred threading with a nut to be sure the blade isn’t going to go flying, but hopefully it holds together for years to come. Overall I love this blade! I probably would have paid double for it and it’s definitely worth the money. If you’re on the fence about it do yourself a favor and buy it already! For this price, you won’t be disappointed.

    Great first sword I love this sword it is great and works beautifully, this sword was the first one I ever got and I still cannot sing its praise enough. Even though there are better swords out there this one is one of the best I would highly recommend

    Just received my Henry V, not a blemish on it I could find. Very nice. First though I feel i need to tell about two swords i have, my hanwei cawood sword is very nice but some con’s to it, a little too flexible and thinned too much 3/4 of blade length near top, then the rest to tip thicker, I’m glad its flexible as it is. Also I have the Hanwei tinker norman sword, the grip is small and short, but some how still comfortable and usable, but still a very nice sword. Now back to the Henry V I recieved, I decided I wanted a diamond patterned sword so I searched quite a bit taking looks , price, specifications, reviews and blade steel into account. Also the history behind the sword and I came upon the Henry V, very good looks, stout appearance, nice scabbard, quality build, very good price and the recasso even looks good with this sword, and the result is I have a blemished sword from KOA, for less price, with no blemishes I find, thank you KOA. The scabbard holds the blade tight ,no rattles, and the sword is just what you want, good looks, quality build. Being over 6mm thick was a positive factor for me. Overall this sword is everything I expected it to be, which is beyond expectations, since there’s a problem with expectations in just about every sword you buy. I have no negatives to say about this sword . Thank you KOA and Hanwei.
