This sword is well made, looks good for the price.Be aware that the guard "looks" like a "basket hilt " design but is actually flat , it also comes unsharpened.That said, it is well made, looks good and is decently balanced .It is long enough to look good without being so long that it is a pain to move around with while its on your belt, it's about the perfect length.I use mine for my Pirate Cosplay and it has held up to light "dueling" easily.One thing i might mention is mine was a bit tight in the scabbard making it hard to draw, but all that took was a good shot of WD40 and it was fine afterwards.For the money I'd highly recommend it as a cosplay / costume item or wallhanger if you want a "real" sword rather than a plastic or wooden one.
