Del Tin sword fact-sheet

The following list is over Del Tin swords I've handled. The following stats are found: point of balance (in millimeters from the cross), blade length, and center of percussion (in millimeters from the cross). I also mention if I found the sword harmonically balanced (a rather crude estimate, as I haven't test-cut with the swords). Lastly, I give a "manoeuvreablity grade" on a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (very good). This is rather subjective, but gives a hint whether the swords are good when handled "dry". This is a comparison made between Del Tin swords; if a sword made by, say, Gus Trim was used as a standard, the grades would probably slip with one point. If there are two numbers separated by a slash, this indicates how the sword handles when used with one and two hands, respectively. In some cases, swords with thicker ("re-enactment") edges have been measured; those swords are marked with a *. This might throw the stats somewhat, but probably not in any significant way. Please note that the list isn't complete.
