just bought my first sword (s) in February. I did a little research and as somone betwixed tihngs in life BD is only half assed so I didn't want or could afford a Saroyan... although I hear marvoulous things about them. So I went middle of the road with a heavier scimtar and settled with Kult of Athena. I initially went with the Moorish which says it can be danced with (mixed reviews from dancers) but it was back ordered so instead of doing the sensible thing and just switching my order I ordered the Balady scimatar (still awaiting my backordered moorish sword).

Yeah for the spirit of I WANT IT NOW FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!

Anyway I digress. The balady is heavy. I love it. It twists a fair amount on my from front to back but I assume that is student error rather than the sword. Mine sits up right and doesn't list, I didn't have to flip the hilt around either. So I love it and I am fond of it even though it is only a month and a half old. I have had several compliments on it especially due to it's weight as it is less likely to slide as the light ones and you know exactly where it is at all times. But you will have a dent in your head.

I second the search function that's how I went through and found the information was in Tribe!
=) good luck!
