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 those who have proven that they have the highest possible skill with a sword. We are very proud to offer the only licensed Heron Marked sword as approved by Robert Jordan. The sword is hand forged, and of a very tough high carbon steel. The guard, tsuba and pommel are of brass, and the balance is simply superb. This sword is an accurate copy of those blades in the Wheel of Time series. Once you hold this functional sword in your hands, you realize how quick and deadly is the sword. A superb example of the swordmakers art. Scabbard included. Overall- 42" * Blade- 32" long, 1 1/4" wide * Wt.- 2 lbs. 12 oz.
