Very nice for the price
"I did not have very high expectations for a $60.00 sword, but when I took it from the box and handled it, I am very pleased with it. The handle fits well in the hands, not to big or to small. The handle is nice and tight, no loose fit anywhere in this piece. I held it upside down by the scabbard and the sword never feel out. The blade was oiled with no rust or dings on it. The blade was also straight and fairly sharp, which will make it easier to get to that razor sharp edge. All in all, very pleased with this sword in it's appearance, I haven't taken it out and used it to cut anything with it yet, but will do after I get the blade to a sharpness I like..."
