High-quality scabbard
592272
I bought two- these are VERY good.  While you cannot kit-up the shotgun too much and still get it to fit, mine has a flashlight, side-saddle shell holder, and pistol grip, and still fits perfectly.  VERY well made scabbard.  Should last a VERY long time.

This is a nice scabbard especially for the price. I would buy it again, my only complaint would be it would be nice to have another inch on the width to get flashlight mounts to fit.... I use this with my mossberg 500 cruiser HD. and its the perfect length for 18.5-20 inch barrels.

The shoulder shoulder strap is terrible.  I ended up cutting it and wrapping it vertically to make make a belt loop.  Now it works well going in or out if the sheath.  It's hard to call it a scabbard.

Great quality for the price.  The blade, while plain, is impressive and semi-sharp.  The leather wrap on the grip is a little skimpy but the pommel makes up for that.  it is an impressive low-cost blade while not of combat quality looks like it could do some work.  For stage and replication appearances it is impressive on the hip or on the wall.  This is not a small piece.  I put it together with an arming belt and general purpose vertical frog and it has to be mounted quite high on the scabbard so the point does not drag.  If you were recreating a medieval horse montage, this would be an magnificent accessory.  While this blade can be handled with one strong hand and arm, it is a two handed piece of steel.

Excellent scabbard. Durable, and has a great feel to it. It fits my AR pistol with a 10.5" barrel nice, with a red dot sight on it. Plus it is a Mom and Pop store, thats a plus! Wouldnt hesitate to order again!!!

This knife sits securely in its scabbard.  I've lost a couple of knives before this one, because they fell out while I was diving.  I like how the scabbard attaches to my Aqua Lung BCD, through a couple of grommets.  The blade itself is nice and sharp and will come in handy when I need it.

This is a very nice dagger at a very good price. The blade holds a sharp edge well and has a good feel in the hand. The sheath is good quality as well. Overall, I'm very pleased.

Neither the description nor any included paperwork describe what kind of carbon steel this is. Absent any such documentation, I am going to assume it is only 1045 carbon steel. My blade came somewhat sharp, but it was neither dull nor remotely razor sharp.  As another reviewer noted, there is no hamon, and therefore no differential hardening. This same reviewer got a katana with a blade loose in the tsuka. I too, originally got a loose blade, but I complained, and found out this was not usual. The seller (got mine on Ebay) informed me that the others in stock were not loose, and sent me a replacement. The replacement is not at all loose, and it is double-pegged, although one peg is under the thick, leather ito wrap.

Regarding the ito wrap, it takes some acclimation. It makes the tsuka larger in diameter than usual, and is rougher on your hands when put through the motions. The overall weight is heavier than average. So my final sword is a sturdy sword... for a 1045 knock-off. I would not want to take this thing into battle against anything other than another 1045 carbon steel blade or less, however! That being said, though, it is a gorgeous piece. The bronze anodized coating, the leather ito, and the attractive, if plain, tsuba make this a fine addition to a well-rounded sword collection: definitely among my more attractive pieces.

If you aren't a collector, however, and seek one, battle-ready katana, do not be hypnotized by the beauty of this katana, and look elsewhere. It takes more than "full-tang" to truly be combat sufficient. If you aren't both 1. dealing with at least 1060 carbon steel and 2. it isn't differentially hardened, then you don't have a katana in any meaningful sense of the word, and you likely don't have a sword sufficient for actual combat or cutting hard targets.

It is good for practicing technique, however. I keep my expensive katanas in a place where it's more difficult to access them. I display this piece openly, and so I can access it easily. As a result, I often take it in the yard to practice technique, although I do not actually cut any targets with it.

I am pleased with this sword overall, but I know what I have, and what I don't have, and what I have is one beautiful & unique sword that would not hold its own in combat or under generally rough conditions.

A really nice weight to this piece, very good for chopping through items.
The balance is pretty good, slightly blade heavy but directional balance is spot on.
The finish for my money is not that of a more expensive katana. The blade, handle & scabbard are finished well but it has that conveyor belt/factory finish to it.
Unfortunately my one arrived with chips of varnish and black paint missing from the scabbard.

This will need more of a custom touch to finish it to a (showroom) finish.
The blade is sharp but not surgical sharp as I like them to be.

I will polish the blade, collar (Habaki) & (Sepa) spacer as the finish is not great and the overall fit into the the scabbard (Saya) is too tight at the collar this will need adjustment. I will let it settle for a few days as the wood maybe swollen (Possibly wood expansion from traveling by air).

8/10
2 points off for lack of focus on fit and finish from manufacturers side, But for a piece of this price it is very good indeed.
After many tests this cold steel blade shows extreme strength and durability.
After sharpening and cutting rope, bamboo, beef carcass and piercing steel drums, this is a worthy blade which will be a beautiful functional piece once it's finished properly.

It will cut.

This is a very good quality bayonet that fits on our Springfield WW-1 mil spec issue rifles.  It is quality construction and very sharp.  The only drawback is that it is imported and not made in USA.  It comes with a scabbard and looks to be mil spec.

I purchased this sword to complete my Jack Sparrow costume.  The community I live in has a weapons law that prevents me from wearing my real sword out in public, and this sword is the best compromise of realism and safety.  The total length of the product is 30 inches with a blade length of 23.5 inches.  The blade is 1.25 inches wide and .75 inches thick.

The entire sword and scabbard are made out of plastic.  The paint job on the sword is very close to the original sword.  Metallic paints are used to simulate all the metal parts of the sword, and everything else is painted with flat luster paint.

The scabbard has a finial (nob) near the opening so you can attach it easily to a belt of baldric.

Why 4 out of 5 stars?  The paint, while nice to look at, does chip off easily although it would be simple enough to touch up the sword from time to time.  The scabbard is nice and stiff, so it protects the sword nicely, but the blade itself does flex around a bit too much for my taste.  There is also the issue of screw placement in the hilt, although is seams all plastic toys have unsightly screws somewhere.

All in all, this is the best looking "toy" Jack Sparrow sword you can buy.  For the price, you probably won't find any better pirate sword either.  This sword is a safe and great looking alternative for those who don't want to or can't buy the $200 replica Jack Sparrow sword.

I ordered this sword anticipating a basic, run-of-the-mill mass produced piece of steel. When I got it, it was more weighty than I thought it would be, but at the same time, it is everything you ordered.
The wood grain is deceptive when not under scrutiny, so don't believe that it will stand up when asked about being authentic. The metal caps and etchings are wonderfully worked and you can see both a detailed eagle and she-wolf on the reverse sides of the upper grip. The handle itself is *slightly* small, but unless someone has large hands it wouldn't be a problem.
The blade itself is not sharp, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It has the brand name on it, in small lettering. It also has the steel type and "Handcrafted in China". I guess that's a small step up from just "Made in China"...
The only irk someone could find is that the etching (albeit very nice) is closer to Celtic knots and designs than anything Roman. It's not a big issue since it is hard to see unless in the light. (Also, I'm of Celtic descent, so it's actually a strange plus for me.)

I bought this with the idea of it becoming a family heirloom. It has the classic J. MARTTIINI Co. blade of Finnish steel and the handle is just gorgeous. In fact it is almost too nice to use. Fit and finish are perfect with the pommel being made of bronze which will take a nice patina with years of use, and the detail in the sculptural fish head is quite intricate. The leather sheath is high quality and tight fitting.

The bad reference from the History Channel aside, this machete is a decent blade.  Got it for my bride (yeah, she's all mine, I got lucky) at her request.  Blade is tempered, springy, SHARP.  I would expect to pay the price of this machete for just the very well made sheath that is heavy, high quality, rigid leather with an internal silicone blade guard that prevents the very sharp blade from cutting the stitching.  Handle is comfortable and indexes in my hand nicely.  Have not hacked through any bamboo forests yet and would want to use it for an extended period before carrying it into the wild, but even if you needed to modify the handle, at this price, you can't beat it.

surprisingly high quality for the price.  The scabbard is high quality leather/metal and it displays nicely with the sword. Would recommend buying from them again.  If mounting against a wall, choose wisely  the mount.  The cross guard has two loops about two inches wide each so it cannot be laid against a wall without the hilt sticking a couple of inches from the wall.

Looks good, grip feels good, has good heft and balance.  Like the scabbard a lot, but the blade does rattle around inside a bit.

This sword met and beat my expectations for attention to detail.  With a pirate costume, it was the best part, as long as I did not wave it around.  This sucker comes sharpened, so this is definitely not a toy, almost not a costume piece.  What I did so others would feel at ease is getting a 20" length of brass colored chain and a small luggage masterlock.  Looped it through the belt frog so it could not be inadvertently drawn.

Others have complained about the scabbard.  I found it to be in good order, with everything securely fastened in place.

I have big hands, which just fit into the pommel guard.  It would look better in smaller hands.  If you are going to wear gloves forget it, unless you want to be one with the pommel guard.
