scratched blade and not really gold
"it took a while to get here and when it finally did arrive the blade was scratched in a few different spots it was very depressing and the blade is more of a copper than gold great job on the engraving and very very sharp but the scratches on the blade were pretty big I'll upload pictures when I go back to my father in-laws where it's displayed my husband baught the honshu wakizashi midnight forge and it was gorgeous not one scratch on the mirror polished black blade I figured my gold one would be the same considering they were both from United cutlery"
