It is a good sword it came straight and for the most part without a flaw but i cut one small water bottle with it and the sword is already out of line plus it is not full tang the hilt wrapping is coming undone after 2 weeks of sparse swinging and the sheath was VERY low quality but for the price this is an ok swordWould you recommend this to a friend?

I am so glad i ordered this sword,It is light and durable ad is well worth more than what you charge for it. I will be buying my next swords and other products from BUD K.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

The blade was straight and unblemished, but IT IS NOT FULL TANG. The blade is tack-welded to the another piece of metal just past the Tsuba. Tack welds won't hold under stress, so if you wanna chop stuff take it to a welder and have them make it solid, or buy a more exspensive sword. I re-welded mine, made an oak handle & Saya that disguise it as a cane then had the blade professionally sharpened. IT CUTS NICELY AND HOLDS AN EDGE. Have chopped through 2x4's and straw bails. Cut a watermelon cleanly. So not bad. I just wanted it for the blade.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

A great sword for under 15 bucks. The quality far exceeds the price. Sturdy and sharp. Look up soda samurai on you tube to see the great fun you can have with this beauty. I highly recommend this sword.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Lets start with the PROs; this sword is dirt cheep and come sharp right out of the box. Its hand wraps around the grip are very securely fastened. The tsuba is actually part of the sword so you dont need to worry about it coming loose. As for the CONs; This blade is way to thin if your thinking about chopping through trees/bushes that have the same circumference as a half dollar coin, it probably would work on zombies but not in a couple swings. The scabbard falls apart from sheathing and unsheathing without great care. OVERALL; this is a good sword for its price. The blade may start to bend after continuous use but its still a good blade.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Of the three swords I bought only this one had a sharp edge to the blade. Judging by looks alone I would give this a 3 to 4 star out of 5. I have no idea about it's durability. I really like the look and feel of this sword. I'm sure my son will be pleased. The handle is wrapped nicely and feels good, but the cord covering the handle looks to be covering what is simply black electrical tape? Hey for $10.00 what the heck huh? The blade is very sharp and the point is deadly. I'd recommend it.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I just purchased 2 of these swords and I have to say they look great. On the other hand if you want a sturdy solid sword that can take a beating this is not what you are looking for. 5 minutes on a pine practice log and the weld dismounted from the blade sending it across the room, which gives the sharp blade a dangerous downside. Also has as (or should i say "had") a weak hand wrap. If you want a nice wall ornament then by all means go for it. If you are looking for something to play around with, I would NOT recommend this sword. Once again NOT recommend this sword.Would you recommend this to a friend? No

This is a fantastic sword! No, one shouldn't walk right out and start chopping tree limbs because that isn't what it is designed for. The fact that the blade is hollow ground detracts from the potential of the design and makes it primarily a stabbing design but light targets such as water bottles or wet newspapers should be no problem. I used the back strap with ease and I am 6'1 195. The wrap is a weak spot but i have yet to work it loose and I do use it with full swings no problem. The tsuba is tight and I like the kanji on the blade. One must be cautious with the sheath and mine came open on the mune side but i just use that to remind me how the blade is oriented. The hollow ground design would get stuck in bone but for quick slashing and stabbing this thing can't be beat as it is a very quick and agile design.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

The chopper sword is very nice when i first got it i didn't expect what i got the blade was very sharp and sturdy only 1 complaint the blade wasn't perfectly straight but for me i don't care about that plus it is barely noticeable it was great buy and i recommend to anyone.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

this sword is awesome it was only 13$ and it works great. i used it to cut tree limbs 3in thick and the blade has not broken or dulled. the wrapping comes undone but can be easily fixed and is great for chopping fruit, i feel like a fruit ninja, this sword was a great buy over all thank you BUDK :)Would you recommend this to a friend?
