Nice design and looks similar to the real thing. On the other hand, this blade is -big-. To emphasize precisely how big, it feels more like you're holding a small spear than anything else when you get it.

The weight is also a minor negative factor, but you can deal with it if the main reason you buy it for is decoration (which is why I got it). On the other hand the weight does mean the construction is fairly solid. But I wouldn't even attempt trying to use it as a real weapon simply due to the balance and weight issues.
