First sword ever purchased, looks and feels incredible. For those afraid of shipping damage from previous review, don't be, the sword was over the top packaged to keep everything safe and hard to damage in transit.

Great Sword

Posted by Keeli James-Murray on 11th Feb 2022

I give a 4.5 star review only because the paint applications on the tsuba and fittings is faint and came unsharpened but apart from that, great product. Will definitely buy more swords from this website.
