low quality
"This is the THIRD attempt to leave feedback. I guess since my feedback is below average my comments are removed. So, here goes another attempt! The brass handguard is exceptional, REAL BRASS and looks great. The scabbard is very good quality also. But the blade is of poor workmanship. The blade is not straight, has a slight curve in it but it is enough that the cutlass is difficult to slide in and out of the scabbard. The blade has different thickness, as you slide your hand down the sides you can easily feel the waves of the places where it is thicker than other places on the blade. Maybe I simply got one when the craftsman was having a bad day, IDK."
