5 of 5 Great Practice Sabers August 10, 2022
Reviewer: Adam Nally from Surprise, AZ United States  
Love these sabers. Well forged, solid blades with perfect curvature. Nicely constructed solid and take a beating.  We practice with high intensity and these sabers have held up very well.  The blade construction is solid.  Comfortable hand grips, guard is perfect in size and they are very well balanced. Worth every penny I paid.  Will have  video up on our website soon using these blades at http://swordfight.us.

1 of 5 V3 Mediocre handle, stiff, permanent bend. May 2, 2022
Reviewer: Matthew from Oakton  
The seam where the leather is stitched together on the grip is a fairly uncomfortable hot spot, and the pommel cap is misaligned with the grip so that it sticks out into my hand. The latter issue isn't a big deal, and the former issue is somewhat fixable by removing the pommel cap entirely, but both are to be noted. The hilt is glued to the tang, so keep this in mind before trying modification.
The blade is the biggest issue, it's a VERY stiff weapon, flexing at 38 lbs rather than the advertised 20 lbs. The one I have appears to be a new variation/revision, which is unfullered.
On the other hand, it handling is as expected more or less, with weight and balance being exactly as listed: 830g and 4 inch POB for this revision. Minimal edge damage on account of the overly thick blade, but it took a permanent bend on just it's first day of sparring.

3 of 5 Steels good, grip is meh February 14, 2022
Reviewer: Katlyn R from Fayetteville, AR  
The saber blade has withstood a few good sparring bouts without a problem but the grip is not flat. The wrap has come together in a way that makes a ridge. Can't really feel it through gloves but it seems like it might tear in time.
