I bought this as my second order from budk and also Black Legion, I’m impressed with the absolute razor sharpness of the blade, but as others have noted the sheath is a pain to get it out of. I’d hate to need to draw this quickly for defense and have it stuck! But when it does come out, I’ve yet to find a better way to drop $10!!

I put off buying this one for a long time. I bought the red death stalker a few years ago instead of this one. I like this one WAY better. The red one is dangerous to the user. This one isn't. This one is thinner, lighter, but just as sharp. Even the sheath is better. Can't wait to mess stuff up in my back yard with this one. Thanks BudK. Black Legion rules!

I like the weight of the sword. It's well crafted and surprisingly sharp. The sheath is ugly; I immediately threw it in the trash because I didn't really need it.

Am very happy with the sword. Only issue is with the few scratches on the blade an near the handle. Is sharp an tip is fine. I'll gladly recommend to family and friends. Groovy deal.

This is the best sword I have ever bought will definitely be buying more in future cuts clean through watermelon with ease

WOW! So impressed with the look & quality of this thing. Will DEFINITELY be ordering many more items.

Sword shipped with a light oil coating, a half-inch scratch a third of the way up on the black portion of the blade, two very small indents also on the black portion about an inch up and under the cutout halfway up, and some scuffs to the right of the Blacklegion stamp on the hilt. Minor annoyances. Not razor but still fairly sharp, has a plastic guard for the bottom hilt spike. It is full tang stainless steel, solid and doesn't feel like it'll snap from swinging it around. The cord handle moves around some but not enough to get in the way and is easily adjusted back to form. The only knock I have is the sheathe. The sword is so spiky that it catches every time and within the first day I spotted fray poking up from inside despite trying to be careful. Don't expect it to last long.

I gave it 4 stars because of the case. The sword looks really nice and feels like it's a good quality sword. But the casrme is cheap.

very nice blade very sharp i cut myself by accident pulling it out the sheath which is why this is 4 star and not 5 the sheath is pretty much useless for this blade it catches about 100% of the time trying to put it in and pull it out the blade itself cuts thru the end of the sheath easy wen putting in besides the sheath i love this blade

I got this for a wall display, and..... Good Lord this thing is cool! VERY sharp, well made and great looking! As other reviews have stated the sheath is ridiculous, but if you're buying knives and swords for the sheaths you've got bigger issues... If you're looking for a really cool way to waste that $10 in your pocket this blade will satisfy.
