It was a new sword of a different design.
We went back to using our old ones...

I'm guessing the metal was brittle?

That meant that it felt great and was very fast.
But, one wrong hit and the end snapped off.
We still have it. We brought the broken off end with us to the show for when people ask if they are real swords...
