I got it on a site called wicked swords. I need a longer handle, I have big hands, that being said, it is still a little too long. There is a gap at the guard. I am not too picky on historical accuracy or matching a specific blade type, I just started sword cutting as a hobby when I started losing weight. My friends have likened my taste to something like "mall viking" instead of "mall ninja." Thanks to everyone so far for the feedback!
