I gave this sword to my boyfriend as a bday present. He loved it! I loved the fact that it was on sale for really cheap, but it was still good quality, according to my boyfriend of course. It was packaged really well in two different boxes with plastic guarding each part. It arrived quickly and shipping was so cheap! Sometimes the strap that holds it around your back will slip off if you do not put it on correctly, but other than that, the blade is sharp, the material was finely made and it was just awesome in general. A great gift!
