I picked up this sword on 11/5 and I must say I am impressed! The sword was larger than I expected and it's rather elegant. The stand is sturdy and while the blade came with enough grease to lube ten diesel engines, the blade had no flaws! The engraving is perfect; no nicks and burrs whatsoever. The only bad part was that the handle had some split ends on the string which was easily dealt with via a lighter. Then the blade is way sharper than what I expected for the price I paid for it. True Swords went above and beyond my expectations. Cheers!!!
