Came sharp out of the box. A good cleaning was needed. Light weight for a saber. With some skill it's a solid weapon.

I just got this today, and it looks and feels great, I had to sharpen it a lot better, but was able to get, I do not like the way the sheath is setup but I will have to figure out where to get a better one, or make one myself. Other then that, It is a great sword, I would be able to use it when the lefties, try to attack.

The design is stealthy and a cavalry style saber. This is not nearly as heavy as traditional cavalry sabers, and is light but formidable. It has characteristics of a katana/ninja tool, and I'm happy to recieve it in great shape. The chiseled point is an awesome idea. I think it is good value, and would recommend it without a doubt. Not mean't to wave around as a foot soldier sword because sabers like this would be used by mounted cavalry. The reach would ensure your safety while defending yourself from being eaten by cannibals or zombie infected walking dead. Recommended!

The sword arrived, I looked at it and it's plenty thick enough to be used as a saber. It's reasonably sharp, and while I'm uncertain, I think that the finger guard (p-guard) may have steel at its core, which would be a nice touch if true. Thing is, mine came bent. Not the sweeping curve of the blade, but laterally bent as if it didn't survive the hardening. It's too bad; I'm sending it back for replacement as it looks like it'd be a great 'beater' saber/cutter if it were straight.

The Saber or whatever you want to call it (BFF, Long a** machete ) it does the job. Living in high mountain country you need REAL equipment that can dish out hard brute strength & survive. This is NO TOY.

This is an awesome saber. Not razor sharp but sharp enough. It's just too long for me. If the blade was six inches shorter, or if I was six inches taller, it'd be perfect for me. Super cool sword none the less.

Well I just opened my CC saber and i am generally pleased! It's weight is negligible: all reviews that say it's super heavy are false or written by guys with no muscles. This sword is light weight & easy to wield. However, the blade had a slight warp (poor quenching, likely) and there are hammer/mallet marks where someone tried to fix the issue. Its very superficial though, and not a deal breaker considering the low price tag. This is a good sword!

As they say on the Forge, it will cut. Sliced a water filled gallon jug in two slicker than a whistle. The blade has give so breaking is unlikely. Grip is great. Over all balance is near perfect. This is one great saber. I'd recommend it to anyone, it performs as well or better than more expensive ones.

great toy for the money truly nice sword like a lot and think you should buy if you want a nice sword

It's a Realy nice big sword cant strap it to my belt because its just about as long as my leg lol but I'm working on swinging harder to get the momentum to cut through bigger objects careful though comes sharp was getting the old oil off the blade didnt know it cut me intill i saw blood
