Very solid but balance is off
"Very thick and tough…… But due to the shape of the blade the balance is way off…… The “Sweet spot” on the blade is way too low. I figure I will have to grind out some of the lower spine to maybe help with the issue."

"I bought this alittle while back. It is a nice blade, my only complaint about it, is that it isn't straight, it has a slight curve to the left towards the tip, other than that it's real nice, wish I would have gotten a straight one though, I actually intended to use it in bushcraft, but the left curve throws it off a bit."
"Everything perfect. Already using mine in strength building ballet exercises. Sword lithe nimble."
"I received this sword as a mystery scratch and dent. I doubt I would have chosen it, but I am quite pleased with it overall. It is a nifty little sword, and I have no doubt it can take some punishment. As other reviews have noted, the handle is not the best, but it's not too bad either considering it's just leather wrapped around the tang. It wouldn't be fair consider the blemishes as a negative in this review, as I bought it as a scratch and dent, but I will mention that it came dull. Had I paid full price, I think that would have disappointed me."
"When it arrived the handle profile was a little wide for my hands but I already planned on modding it after I slimmed the tang and put stacked leather handle this beast was ready to go after testing I can say without a doubt it's my favorite blade I have , I'm currently ordering the forged warrior kitana i love the forged warrior brand"
"No problems with this spring steel product thus far ! An improvement would be either wood panels or more leather for a handle ! Still, not bad for a single edged weapon concept !"
"Packaging & Presentation was Good Fit & Polish was Good Yes, this spring steel short sword is amazing. It is a great beginner sword for getting aquatinted to spring steel. This short sword is heavy and feels like it can deliver a beating and take the harsh climate of chopping, thrashing, and sword fighting! This is a great chopping sword perfect for the outdoor adventurer, camper, or any person on a working ranch. Good purchase. Good for short sword training, and great for all of your chopping tasks."
"Great piece for show or real action. Thick, full tang design! Added just a bit of "tennis racket tape" for a bit more hand protection and grip on the handle. Very nice item & worth the money!!!"
"Great feeling strong sword, not the best of handle (intend to change it) . Not razor sharp, especially in the curve at the tip (critical area in a slashing weapon )"
"Good looking short sword, full tang, nice leather sheath.,,,,, But no grip wood in the handle, just a wrap makes for a weak grip. Some wood inserts pegged in under the wrapping on the handle would make it complete,,,,,,Too bad they had to make such a critical cut back here."
