This is a lot of sword for you buck. The blad fits perfectly in the hilt, requiring about 0.5-1lb of pressure to unsheathe. It arrived in excellent condition.
I was pleasantly surprised that the blue blade is much darker than I originally thought. Most people would think it was black at first glance, and the blade itself is beautiful. I have decided to replace the original handle straps and sageo but those are personal cosmetic decisions and super easy to do.
