Decent
Okay, so the picture of the sword is a bit misleading. Also the sheath is very fragile. If you want to play around with this sword, gets some duct tape and wrap the bottom of the sheath... trust me, it will last a bit longer this way. The cord wrapped around the handle is strong enough that you can use it to swing above your head, though this is unadvised.

The sword is one solid black piece of stainless steel and seems very durable. It isn't very sharp, yet sharp enough that you want to watch where you swing it. Fast delivery, had it delivered in 3 days when amazon said it would arrive 6-10 days after purchase. Definitely a good purchase.

Good for Price
I bought this sword a few months back. It is, obviously, very nice to look at. It's a very small sword, thin as described, and the wrap-cord handle shifts a bit when you hold it, but it's still pretty nice. If I had sharpened it, I can imagine the cloth sheath falling apart fairly fast. The serrated edge is very sharp on mine, while the rest of the blade is rather dull. That's a good thing, though, for a DISPLAY sword.
Honestly people, unless you're willing to pay a lot of money, don't expect a sword to hold up against a tree. Like most of the weapons you can buy for under twenty dollars, this isn't meant for that.

exactly what I paid for
Looks great. Only issue is, its a little thin. Probly not to good for actual battle but nice all the same. Deffinetly worth the price.

More Pros than Cons
Great blade, but the sheath breaks fast.

The blade is quality and holds a good tang. Granted, it's not quite full tang, but with a few more ounces in the handle it would be. The blade has withstood some heavy use against trees and posts. Using the blade wrong will result in bending (mostly if the blade is swung while the flat is facing the line of motion.)

The sheath broke within days of using the blade. The downfall of the sheath is the poor single-thread sewing between the rivets. Since the blade is sharp, it will tear those quickly.

This item is great for someone who wants a light weight, yet reliable blade, and can use it with some basic knowledge of swordplay.

use common sense
despite what you've seen in the movies, swords were never meant to cut trees. even a good axe will dull after hitting a green tree.

this is obviously for display purposes. if you entertain fantasies of actually cutting people with swords, then you're probably crazy enough to spend the thousands for a real, quality weapon. this item is basically a shape, stamped out of 1/8th inch thick steel. it is very light; too light to cause any real harm. in an actual combat situation, you'd be better off with your bare fists, or even a swiss-army knife.

however, if you're into collection for display, this is a nice cheapie that'll impress the casual onlooker.
