Pros
the weight of this blade is wonderful. it has heft, but it doesn’t feel like it wants to throw you around when you swing it
the fittings are nice and tight and look stunning
the blade came very sharp, with a hard to notice secondary edge
the handle has a mostly smooth seam
minimal gap between the blade and the guard

Cons
the leather wrapped handle is darker than the image shows. it’s more of an oxblood red
the guard is off center by at least an 8th of a inch to the left (looking from the logo side)
the guard and pommel had some unpolished bits
the scabbard is also off center from the handle, but it’s not a big deal

overall, I love this sword. the design is very unique, and it’s very well balanced. I just wish the guard was centered better
