I have full of anticipation awaits the sword and immediately found a strong pollution of the grip tape when unpacking. Pollution I have documented and communicated to the seller. On request of the seller, I then tried gently clean the grip. This is me also so far succeeded quite well, but when the sword is not exposed to direct light, the grip looks more blotchy or looks as if it had already touched several hundreds of times.
I wanted to thus induce the exchange and have the seller asked to consider the new sword on this Verunreinigenungen described by me, because I suspect that already comes the pollution by the manufacturer. This request was cheeky shot down with the words "Clean is clean and dirty is dirty". I will therefore withdraw from the purchase and can not be buy recommendation for this product and the seller service.
