The sword is good for practice and it’s smooth for swinging it has a good grip and body structure pretty much like it
Saswat Saraswan –
The craftsmanship is really good. It’s a well finished product with no wooden splinters and has got a nice glossy finish. Feels heavy almost like a real sword, good for training. The handguard needs to be assembled which can prove to be a challenge though. Worth the money.
