Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The sword itself is crazy sharp and meets every expectation that we had with purchasing a cold steel product. The sharpness is adequate for a sword.

The blade and scabbard were packaged separately and well oiled/waxed. Comes with a leather collar so the brass guard won't get scratched by the sheath.

Old wrist breaker. Well tempered and sharp for thrusting.

Cons

Its a cheaply made indian sword. Very disappointed in the workmanship.

The latter half of the blade was thick and not sharpened to be used for parry.

But, for the price it's not a big flaw.

Mostly their swords cost at least $600.

Shipping

The seller shipped extremely fast, i have zero complaints.

My issue was with the packaging, the box was crumpled, the blade was loose in the box and covered in styrofoam bits but possess... Read More

The blade and scabbard were packaged separately and well oiled/waxed to prevent any aging.

Competitiveness

In comparison, cold steel’s hybrid cutlass hits 2.

The 1860 cavalry saber is even better.
