I know this was posted earlier, but I wanted to know if anyone else would chime in on their thoughts of this blade. Is it worth the 130 some-odd plats?

If you like the look and have coin to spare.

In Plat, I would kill to have it, but I don't have enough coin.

I do have the other one, the tempered bastard sword, and it is also very nice. However, it doesn't go up to R/R in THE mode and it is not well constructed. I do believe it is lighter though.

We don't have many forged weapons in plat, so the outcast items all are very nice, though in some respects they are no the equal to OTE weapons.

I'd buy it.

I hate the plain looking forged weapons.

Instead of owning a katar, a scimitar, and a bastard sword. You could own a silver-edged katar adorned with a clawed handguard, an engraved scimitar hilted in flame-kissed gold and an engraved bastard sword hilted in onyx trimmed with spun gold.

The Outcast Tent has some good looking forged quality blades, wish more merchants sold stuff like that.
Or maybe sell stuff to improve the look of plain weapons (hilts, engravings, handguards, bloodgrooves, edges, etc)

I bought a few extra of the engraved basties just in case I lose one when I'm hunting. Yeah, I like the look of them better than what standard forged weapons and the construction is impressive.

Now if someone would explain why the barbarian tent was taken down already..
