Custom Rehilted Sidesword by Jesse Belsky

I think I’m done buying swords for awhile. It’s just getting too unwieldy an obsession (heh). But that doesn’t mean I can’t upgrade what I already have. I’ve had the Hanwei Renaissance Sidesword for years. It’s actually a pretty decent little blade, but I never liked the hilt furniture. Not really a fan of how wire feels, and the grip was plastic. Plus the guard looks and feels clunky to me.
