Combat Commander Trench Saber Sword

I just received mine and was pleased with it's solid feel and sharp blade. I did note, as another review mentioned, that the finger holes in the Trench guard are not real large, but at 6' and 235 lbs. my hands are just small enough to be snug but not tight or uncomfortable. My only disappointment is, that I am Left Handed, so I will have to take the curved nylon Sheath to a Shoe Repair shop and have the belt loop cut off and resewn to the back side, so that I can wear it on my right hip for cross draw. Otherwise, for the price, an very nice short sword!

I just got my second sword of the month from my monthly subscription. It fact, it was fast delivery! It's not even a month yet & yet, here it is! My first sword arrived last month July 14th. It was a Shinwa Royal Warrior Katana & it was a beauty! Very sharp & the sword was very very straight. I always look at the straightness of the sword. That's how I can tell it's built well. Unfortunately for the second sword, which is a Combat Commander Trench Saber? I can't say the same. The blade is sharp. The size of the saber is a little bit small. Compared to the Naval Commander's Saber for which I was accustomed to when I was in the USNavy. It's bigger & longer. I gave it 3 stars because the entire length of the sword is not straight at all. As i'm looking on the top of the pommel all the way to the top blade to tip? It's curved a little to the right. What bothers me is that it's a 1065 carbon steel! It should be straight. But then again, that's what you get for a $67.00 sword. I really don't know if it should be a battle-ready sword? I am not a sword expert but if you forge a 1065 carbon steel sword? It should be straight. Just saying.
