Great Sword im not very knowledgeable about the specifics of sword care or handling but im pleased. fit and finish is great, no play in the blade or guard. no play between the sheath and blade. came oiled and un-damaged. the added sharpening made it plenty capable of use if you feel like it. i just wanted the novelty of a good sword so if your looking to test im not the best source for info. even with the sharpening i received it within a week so thats a big plus for me.
