Product Description
This Shanghai Spy sword is constructed of AUS-6 stainless steel with a black baked-on finish, a deep blood groove and it delivers excellent chopping and slashing power! The scimitar-style blade measures 17 3/4” and offers superb balance.
Very beautifully crafted. I bought this sword for my step son and now im tempted to buy one for me. My original intention was to buy it because it has a full tang and my step son has a reputation for breaking the handles on swords that do not have a full tang. I figured this handle would stay on. (lol) For 12 dollars it is an awesome sword. You cannot beet the price and the cord rapped handle is rapped much more thicker than most cord raped handles. Frankly speaking I’m surprised this sword is only 12 dollars. Nice job BudK.

Cheap but good
Yes, this sword is cheap. Yes, it would probably break or bend if you tried to chop down a tree. But it looks cool and is sharp enough and sturdy enough to have some fun cutting up cardboard boxes or just to display. As others have mentioned the red cord wrap does loosen very easily but that is also easily fixable. All in all for only $13 (especially if you get it with a discount or penny shipping) this is well worth the money.

Awesome Sword
This sword kicks a$$! Showed up Sharp in just 5 days, already decently sharp. My first impression of the sword was, it looks great! Perfect size for throwing in a bug out bag, or just a bag for a camping trip. But then I put it to use. I used it to chop down a large~ish walnut tree, and the sword passed the test with flying colors. Only took me about half an hour to chop down the tree, then chop it into small, manageable pieces of fire wood. The flame, unfortunately, as well as a good amount of the black paint, came off, but this is easily fixed with a can of flat black spray paint. Also, the wrap comes off easily, but this can be fixed with a different wrap pattern and some glue. Overall, probably the best twelve bucks I've ever spent!

great sword/machete
If you have $13, buy this sword. First of all it is very short, but don't let that steer you away. This sword is sharp as h**l and seems pretty durable too. I accidentally sliced my couch cushion open like it was butter. This was my first Budk buy and I'm very pleased, it'll serve well as a machete or short sword.

Shanghai Spy Sword
This piece was definitely worth more than the price. I put it through some pretty tough use, and it performed very well (ex. soda cans, water bottles, even small planks of wood) The only problem is that the pommel or butt of the sword is welded onto the tang, which is exactly where mine broke. This is a decent sword that came with a nice edge, and it performs well.

Good piece.
I like this blade, it does as advertised right out of the box! (Er...bag really) The chord came off quite quickly but it was bad for gripping anyhow. Blade is sharp enough, and the steel it nice and sturdy, all in all, a great blade to have!

Not bad for the money
Didnt come to sharp but it a nice loooking sword and for the money you can't beat it . It came pretty quick and it looks good on the wall so that's what I bought it for the looks , now if the zombies come hopefully I can use it to cut their heads off lol .

great sword
i love the sword it was super sharp right out of the box i was slicing through soda cans like hot butter the two downsides are that the flame looks like it was cheaply put on and that the chord rap handle started to come of with ten or so swings. but other then that it is a amazing sword and am getting one for my brother keep up the good work Budk

Spy Sword
This sword was fantastic. Slices nice. Stabs nice. But i tried to stab through an out school binder(cardboard and a thin layer of soft plastic) and the tip bent! Which really sucks . But for $13 it's really nice.

Nice Sword
The sword is nice and came sharp but the sheath is junk. It fell apart within five minutes.
