I'm currently trying to find my original source that made me want to try it. If your interested, tomorow I have a sword practice that I would be willing to use the combo in and record it. Just to show that it can be done. Bear in mind that my war sword only weighs in at just over 2.5 lbs. It's specs are as follows:
Blade Length: 98 cm
Blade width: 4.5cm
Blade thickness at tang: 4mm
Guard width: 25.5cm
Handle length (including guard and pommel): 29cm
Overall lentgh: 128cm

It's a Windslass Steelcrafts sword, and has a great temper.
