The Zetsurin is an awesome sword for the price. I own a Shirasaya and without a doubt this sword is better mainly due to the grip that you actually have on the handle. You can't really review this sword on not having a guard because it's made not to have one and it's not like the description says it has one. With that said having a wrapped handle on this one is a benefit when it comes to say...doing katas and such. You really don't want a sword to go flying out of your hands while you are swinging it around.
As for the thrower...well as one review said mainly just good for a letter opener. It mostly just gets in the way and I leave it out of the sheath.
It came with a thick coat of oil on it which is good for storage but a little too much for me so I cleaned it off and oiled it up again to my specifications. Sword came really sharp so it doesn't need that much more of a sharpening unless you really want to.
