A simple modification to make the $90 Shinwa Nodachi resemble a Chinese "Battle Gim" style sword.
Shinwa Nodachi:
Design: Double-edged straight sword, no guard
Blade Length: 30 inches
Steel: 1060 Carbon
Saya: Black lacquered wood
Price: $90
I weighted and built up the grip to make the handle more like a Chinese style sword, such as the Cold Steel Battle Gim (which is $400). Tape used was friction tape for Hockey and Slazenger grip for tennis.
