Looks great! and it is not to light as I thought it would be. I loke it very much, and looks great.
About what I expectedReviewed by Brian Porter, 2009-12-19
Well, to start, I should point out that I paid less than ten bucks for this, and had no intention of using it for any reason other than messing around. The sword was not red as the picture showed it to be, but I didn't really want a red one so it worked out. The sword came with a chip/crack in the tip, and that grew a bit when i dropped it on the cement outside. But again, I just wanted to play with it. The crack is only an aesthetic problem - its still sturdy and can take a decent beating. Its really pretty awesome - not too heavy, not really light. Like I said, its really sturdy and can take a beating. It looks awesome, most people don't notice the crack in the top anyway. Basically, if you're wondering whether or not to buy it, buy it. Yes you can get a better wooden sword, but for less than ten bucks this sword is more than worth it.
I really thought I bought something different.Reviewed by P. LUJAN, 2009-12-13
The real item given to me is completely different than the one depicted on the picture. I isn't all that shiny, and the shape is a little distorted, but now I'm just nit-picking. The paint is thick, and it dents very easily when practicing. The grip will slip off when handling it towards the bottom, which is how kendo sticks should be practiced as. The guard will also become a problem, and irritate the wrist after a while.
OK for the PriceReviewed by Cymry, 2009-09-30
This is an ok practice product. Don't imagine you will be getting a
work of master craftsmanship. The main marvel here is that mass
produced components could be jammed together in the form of
something roughly useful. Forget about the plastic hand guard, by
the way. It doesn't fit. And the edge on the wooden blade is so
rounded that only sheer bludgening force could make it useful in a
real fight.
...Which, I suppose, is one of the functions of a practice sword.
But then, if harmlessness is really the point, wood would hardly be
the ideal material.
It's heavy, I'll give it that.
Overall, my impression of this produce is, it's cheap. Not 'bad',
though.
