The sword in question is a decorative piece but can also be used for stage combat, SCA combat, and re-enactment events as long as one takes into account the limitations of the blade. The sword weighs around 2.4 pounds, while the high centre of gravity makes it quite forward heavy. The handle of the sword is wrapped in plastic and partial welded rat-tail tang, and customers can receive this product with a black hilt or a silver hilt depending on the variation they choose. The reviews of the product are mixed. While some buyers have complained about the quality of the blade, some noticed mild damage from shipping, although this seems to be a rare occurrence. A few have also pointed out imperfections in the hilt and on the blade. The general Consensus is that the sword is quite sturdy and suitable for sparing, but is not well designed ergonomically, has a flat edge and is only suitable for light blows. One customer made a fair point, stating that one can buy basic tools to fix the imperfections, and can overlook them due to the cheap price of the sword.
