The Sword

AKA Fein's Might

"We will compete with the Riktus and with our sword we shall prove our worth."

— Farisy of Fein before his 10-second KO loss to Dreadnaught the Riktus, 807 AP

Another of the many recent additions to the blade market, shaped like a sword with a long consistent narrow blade. I chose to sell this one from the wealth of gimmick blades currently in existence because the Fein; developers of this blade, have assured me recent improvements will make it even more popular than the Original.

Blade features:

• Made from similar materials to the Original Blade but forged in Eristy with their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities using only the best Marvela wood taken directly from their backyard - Arin forest.
• A long blade design theoretically allows for greater reach and more usable area for connecting with the balt.
• 5 airflow slats for increased swing speed.
• Blades' design provides a long narrow sweet spot for consistent shots.
• The marvela textured face cover offers the same control of the balt as the Original blade.

Goster's opinion:

Fein's Might was designed to enhance on the Original blade in all performance areas and in some respects it has proved a success. The longer blade allows for improved blocking and the increased reach allows you to hit the balt when the Original would miss. Unfortunately, its increased weight and narrow design make it tricky to deftly change direction which adversely affects its agility rating. Also, the longer design has meant the Sword breaks more often than the Original.
I have no control over the design of the Sword so cannot experiment with design improvements. I am beholden to stocks received from my supplier and can only hope they will improve the design. I feel a radical change is required for it to replace the popularity of the First Blade. Especially as none of the top 20 All Race League balters (in any weight category) use this blade - Proof enough of its deficiencies.

Stock Clearout:

With the 841 Original blade model outperforming the Fein's might in almost all areas and no design change expected, I have decided to sell off my existing stock of the Sword. I am offering a 25% discount which can be claimed in my shop on 10 Balter Avenue or you can place an order.
The extra space I gain will be used to sell the blade that wins my create-a-blade competition..
