Have you ever wondered what a two-handed Katzbalger would be like? There are some depictions of Landsknecht mercenaries with a Zweihander that is basically that, with "pretzel" quillons and a similar pommel shape.
Lancelot Chan created a design just like that, in the form of the "Red Baron" German battle sword. He sent me one along with cutting material, so this is my first impression and test. Yes, it will cut... and keel. :)

I also compared it to other swords to see how well each performs on these targets (which are more challenging to cut than tatami mats):
"Shirasaya" (really more a Shikomizue) katana
