The sword is a very nice quality for the price. I feel it is really the right product at the right price. I haven't really started learning the form with it yet, but I look forward to doing so. My son hooked me up with it as I never used Amazon much.

I ordered this sword expecting a cheap sword that is basically a weighted place holder for practice. However, even by cheap standards this sword is garbage. I've bought toy swords for my nephews that were better quality.

The blade is as advertised. Metal, unsharpened, and flexible. However, the handle is plastic, the hilt is plastic with a metal cover. The blade is set into the plastic hilt and can be easily twisted 5 or 6 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. Every time I draw the sword from the scabbard it rattles, wiggles, and feels very, very sloppy.

My advice would be to purchase a more expensive sword where the blade won't rattle inside the handle OR buy a collapsible sword. Sure the collapsible swords look like toys, but I have to say, even they are better quality than this.

This sword may be exactly what you are looking for. It is very pretty when in the scabbard and would look good on a wall (from a distance), but I would not trust it to practice in a group.
