Deepeeka Swords (Seeking review X-Post)

I've been looking at the Deepeeka late roman spatha they have.
However I've never handled any of their blades. Anyone have any info?

Thanks

Xanthier-

You may have better luck in Sword Forum International's forums with this quesion. The website is swordforum.com I believe.

If you want your blades for use on the field then Depeeka is absolutely awful. One of my colleagues bought a broadsword from D and against a 'blunt'EM45' sword it shattered. They are strictly wall hangings. Seriously.

Well.. I want it to hang on my hip at SCA events..
So it won't be hitting against anything else.

Had a discussion with Matthew Amt and he said for the new series and at a "10 ft rule" it'll be fine.
I'll more than likely pick it up. I'll post a review when I get it.
