Super cool sword. Feels relatively sturdy. The fittings were a little messy, I had to file off some excess material but the blade is beautiful. I would say it's a pretty sword with good display value and it makes for some fun if you did want to cut softer objects with it. Although they have a long list of don't do's that's come with the blade. All in all I think the sword is well worth the price. The team is friendly and responds quickly. The shipping was quick as well.
