A solid purchase for the price
I got this in the mail yesterday. It arrived in a long box filled with packing peanuts. After digging around in the foam clumps I retrieved the black and white spoted box which held this sword.

After examining it I found out a few things. I got a blade that was worth the cost paid for it.

The detail in the dragon carving on the sheath is nice. I can see some glue around the top of the pommel where the blade connects to the grip. However it is not distracting or noticable unless you look closely.

Its balance is okay, but it is no toy for it does have an edge. With enough force you can injure someone, especially if you stab them.

This is something that can be used for practicing swings as well as just admiring.

The blade is covered with oil when delevered. You can wipe it off, or leave it on if you do not intend to use it. The oil does preserve the condition of the blade which is a plus when it is not being used.

Overall this is a great purchase. However I do not think this sword could survive combat without being chipped. Not sure about the quality of the steel used in creating it. So its a great blade to admire and own if you have no intentions of practicing actual swordplay with it.

Ooh.. shiney sword.
It was fair in craftsmanship. The blad was slightly crooked, but that was the only thing I could find wrong with it. The carving in the sheath was beautiful, and my boyfriend loved his gift.

Decent sword, fair warning:
Ok, the sword's appearance is pretty nice, it didn't dissapoint in that area.

I suppose I'm not a blind swordsman, so I can't really complain, but it's about as sharp as a butter knife, possibly a little more dull.

The sword fits in the scabbard well enough, but when sheathing it gets stuck at the end, and you have to force it just the right way, and it's not as clean as I'd like it to be.

All petty nitpicking aside, it's a nice show piece, maybe with a little sharpening I could become a blind samurai!
