Not as sharp as expected, but good value for the money. If you buy a sword for 50 dollars, you can’t really expect much, usually. With this you get quite a decent blade, especially considering the low price. Sure, you won’t be overwhelmed by the processing in some areas, but all in all mine was quite clean and had a nice finish. No loose parts or anything. I havent actually gotten to cut testing, but it lies well in the hand, yet it may need some additional sharpening.
Color me impressed. For the price, I was expecting a cheap, easily breakable sword but much to my surprise this blade performed better than the ~$200 sword I bought. I highly recommend buying the sword care kit also sold on this website as they go hand in hand and the packaging contains instructions on how to use it
actually a good sword, better than some more expensive swords ive had. well worth 60 bucks though it is TIGHT in the saya i had to use herculean strength to tear the sword out of the saya the first time.
Great for the price, but my blade wiggles a bit granted I have owned it a few years and am pretty rough with my swords.
Excellent quality for the price I paid, don’t have any complaints, will recomend
