Great for what it is, to hang on the wall or a convo piece for $50 bucks it shouldn't be in the same sentence as katana, unless you got a replica katana to!

The sword came very dull. After hours of sharpening I finally got a decent edge only to realize that it's just way too heavy to be a combat ready sword. It's heavier than my katana, which is two handed. It's very hard to maneuver with only one hand and tires you quickly. The bolts from the hand guard stick out on the inside and can be irritating without a glove. Now that I made it sound like a piece of doo doo here's the good news. It's much cheaper than any battle ready swords I've come across. The gold hand guard and sheath is really nice and the guard offers more hand protection, which is another reason why it's so heavy. It has potential but don't go to starting trouble with someone who has a real battle ready sword, because you will die!

Good Price, Dull, Stiff Blade, Durable, Hard to Sharpen, Heavy, and RIGHT HANDED ONLY, which was not in the description. Overall it's a good display sword.

I used these swords for my military wedding. They look quite nice and the groomsmen definitely enjoyed them as a gift. I highly recommend this product.

Awesome piece to add to your military collection. I bought this because it is the same one that I used as a division leader in my Navy basic training last year. The one thing that I don't like is that I didn't get black leather belt loop with the sheath.
