Review: Great gift and plinking around sword - I was worried about the build quality because of some of these reviews but I am pleasantly surprised. The building is solid and nothing rattles in the handle. It's weight is accurate to the real swords and it handles nicely. Have a rag ready when you open the box because it is lathered in oil.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can the blade be sharpened?**
A: For $60, much less under $250, don't expect much. The only thing you're going to be cutting with that sword is cake. Besides, "carbon steel" is nondescript, like getting a plate of mystery meat. Again, at that price point don't get your hopes up. If you want something nonfunctional to wear on special occasions or put on the wall, it will suffice.

**Q: This saber is not sharp and not restricted for mailing. Right?**
A: I've ordered a few of these from various sellers via Amazon. Most come dull. This one, however, came with a sharpened edge. Not sure about any mailing restrictions.

**Q: Are the blade and scabbard engravable?**
A: I believe so, but I do remember the blade being very soft. The scabbard is much harder and probably will engrave much nicer than the sword.

**Q: can this sword be used during a wedding to cut the cake?**
A: Cutting a Cake of Multiple Layers the length of sword should present no problems .  It is well constructed , the blade is solid and has plenty of heft . The Sword is shipped with a light coating of machine oil , a thorough cleaning would be required.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good saber, lousy scabard
*by R***Z on March 26, 2013*

I loved the look and feel of the saber. However, when paired with the saber that I thought was forged particularly for the sword, I found them incompatible. The scabbard is off balance for anything other than display. (Short translation: do not anticipate using this for Civil War Reenactments!) When paired with the scabbard, the saber I received refused to insert initially. It took five tries to insert just as a test. And then, the saber got stuck in the scabbard, would need a small herd of elephants to remove without heat. Scabbard also nicked blade in the first tries to pair them. Which was irrelevant once I couldn't budge the saber out of the scabbard. Items were well packaged, but items were covered in machine oil to protect the sword and scabbard. Open package at own risk. Apparently, according to my packaging, the sword was forged in India. But why 4 stars with the amount of dissatisfaction? Here are the real reasons to own this item: 1) the saber, as I said before: is beautiful. It stands alone. If I had the time, I would have melted down the scabbard and reforged my own. 2) the company I worked with was well connected, answered my emails, handled the fact that I did return the sword well. 3) I appreciated the fact that the sword is dull. My intentions were to use it in a reenactment with children and as dicey as it may be to have a sword with children, just the completed look to a uniform with a sword would have lent credibility. In addition, the ability for at least them to see the sword (and not pull it out) would have been an additional useful feature. But due to the fact that the sword and scabbard did not fit well, I did not want to put the children in harms way with two very heavy metal objects.
