Have I bought this sword for decoration and for herumfuchteln (possibly as a home defense). The shipment took about 14 days, unfortunately, even though only 4 days specified minor nuisance. But arrived than the sword I still looked forward. The sword makes a solid impression, and does not rattle. Blade is like describing stump, but is nice solid. The Saya makes a stable and sophisticated look, but are slightly at strong pressures to. If the sword is in the saya, it meets with movements unfortunately to the inner walls of, But less disturbing (Is just a Dekoschwert). A matching sword stand is, can be bit difficult to assemble but looks chic (In keeping with the whole sword), and the sword fits in precisely. The blade smeared (any "Reinungszeug" at the Saya) the first time at the draw, but the sets over time. The sword has tidy weight, weighs about 800g - 1000g (in my estimation), feels authentic :-). Power but fun with it brandishing or practicing without full contact. And as it is good and Self, and if it is then used only as a show or "beating stick" ;-). I can recommend the sword Warmest!
