ATXguard Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 personal preference: I don't like the plastic hilts, but i think they spin pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Denzer Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you can afford them go with the King sabre. They are the best quality sabre on the market. If you cannot afford Kings (they are expensive) the Samurai sabre is a nice piece of equipment. We spun them for a few year. They have a nice rotation point and weight that makes a transition to King sabres really easy. The only thing I found is that the hilts break once in awhile and need to be replaced.

SpartanGuard Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I spun a King when I was marching, and I bought a Samurai a while back to try it out (to see if it was worth getting for the guard I teach). I haven't noticed many differences, other than no bevel and a sharper curve on the blade of the Samurai--it isn't gradual like it is on a King. If you can afford Kings, go with them; but a Samurai is a good alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
