A genuine must have
"This sword is beyond words. The wrapping has a golden glow to it in soft light. It's very well balanced and light in the hand. The saya is quite tight on mine, so be mindful of that as to not get cut. The only issue I have is the oil it came with was a bit weird, an easy clean, and the cord that's used to ware the blade seems to be glued on and I'm not comfortable pulling it off. I included a pic of the blade completing my collection."
