Title: meh
Product review: I own this sword, two actually. It's really cool, the skulls are rockin, and its longer than I initially expected and a bit heavy to use effectively with one hand. The sheaths are fantastic, way better than those cheap fake leather ones. It's a great sword for show, but is NOT in any way combat ready. I knew the limitations of this sword when I bought mine, so this is more just a warning for new sword buyers. In order for a sword to be truly combat ready (ie you can hit it against other swords, branches, etc) the sword needs to be full tang (meaning the blade is one solid piece of steel and runs the length of the handle and is secured normally by 1-3 pins. Avoid "rat-tail tang" because they snap easily. Now this won't apply to probably 99% of people looking at this sword, but if you know how to weld, the handle is steel so you can weld the blade to the handle, and if you do so effectively these swords are "battle ready"
