The highest amount! I've always loved swords - got serious about it in 2009 and became a sword master - living sword (meaning "real sword, not a wall-mounted one"). I was in my 60s at the time. As a young woman, finding the right Swords are nearly impossible. Around 2012 I was in the early stages of a balance disorder and became interested in "real" sword staffs. Due to age and health reasons I no longer teach or demonstrate, but still love mine Swords! I've been looking for a good hookstaff sword for years - I've found very few that are cheap and worthless. Until this one! Solid, sturdy, and sharp!
