The piece is beautiful!
Its a beautiful looking sword, handle is wrapped very nicely, only problem is when swinging the sword it does make a clanging noise which im guessing is due to the blade against the hand guard, i also noticed it doesn't come with the peice that goes on the bottom of the blade where it meets the hand guard also causing the noise which i guess they didn't add it due to the Damascus fuller look. Still a good price for it. I am concerned with using it for cutting practice.
