Very happy with this sword. Packaged very well, tons of brown paper. The only thing I’ve discorvered which very well could be me, i can not get the handle off after removing the pin. As i said that could very well be me making a mistake, probably a testament to the construction honestly. You dont want a loose handle on your sword.
