This exceeded my expectations by far. The sword is amazing and the decals look great too. I bought this to use in a Halloween costume and it is going to work perfectly for it. It included a strap that goes over your shoulder, and the strap is made of leather so its pretty durable.

The blade IS NOT SHARP so out of the box it could be used in a costume but it can be sharpened if needed. It is made of 440 grade Stainless Steel as indicated on the blade. It has some good weight and can swing a pretty hard blow. I posted some pictures so you can get an up close look of this blade.

PS: Check out the picture I posted of the packaging it comes in, I think you'll get a kick out of it!

The quality is good, not great but that is what I expected. Overall it worked great as a costume piece and it impressed the guests. The latch that is used to hang this across the shoulder comes undone very easily and I ended up having to modify it to keep the sword from unclasping and falling down.

I purchased this sword just to hang on my wall. For 60 bucks you can't beat the price. I did have a sticky film covering the entire blade but I was able to remove it with leather luster cleaner. You should be able to find it at a boot or leather shop. Then I polished it with a metal polish and it shines perfect.
