In love
"I just received this about a week ago, so far I am in love. The fitting are solid and look to be hand made, nice thick steel. The blade is really nice, the edge is dull but if you wanted an edge wouldn't be too difficult. The problems, well with any sword you will find some fun little issues, the grip ribs stop too soon so there is a gap between the guard an the ribs creating a valley. I am gooing to fix this with some nice purple thread which should look nice. There is still a wooden core and leather wrap just no rib. The polish is a little rough, I can fix it no problem but the sword makes up for it in it's size and overall awesome. all in all some issues like the strange India sloppily engraved on the blade, but I love it."
