First Sword
"This was my first sword purchase ever and it is decent for its price. However, this sword is duller than a brick out of the box. If you are planning to buy this sword, I highly recommend a knife sharpener (mine was made by Wüstof and goes for around $20-$30). Beyond its initial quality, the weight of the sword complements its machete-like design, and I have only one minor complaint about its sheath (personal complaint; to each his own): it includes a vertical sheath rather than a horizontal sheath, meaning that the sword, when attached to a belt, must be drawn straight up rather than out in front of the user. Aside from a couple of minor rectifiable complaints, it was not a bad purchase."
