"Could not believe my eyes with this sword. I was hesitant to buy this because of the low price, but the reviews convinced me to try it out. Great looking, well built. Yes the sheith had some burres in the opening but five minutes later with my dremel tool everything great. Do I recommend YES!!!"
"I had one of these swords before, but not from Budk, paid more and wasn't as nice as this one. The price on this this sword is unbelievable for what you get. The packaging was also done real nice. I am totally impressed, which is why I continue to shop with you. You always deliver quickly as well, and everything always looks even better then in the pictures. I am totally pleased with my purchase and will continue shopping at BudK, Thanks!"
"I don’t see how anyone can make such a high quality product like this with such a ridiculously low price. My friends and family loved it. This is a Union light Calvary Sword and if they come out with a Confederate version i’ll Buy it because I would like too have the set."
"Great saber I love it."
"A fine saber at this price range. I collect Iaido katanas so I have some experience with carbon steel blades. This came very well protected in shipment. The saber and scabbard come shipped together, the saber is placed outside the scabbard. Both pieces are oil protected and come wrapped in a plastic sheath. Firstly, I unwrapped the saber. I used mineral "spirits" to clean the blade (only takes a minute to do this). Then I tightened the small tang nut at the end of the handle. I then put a light coat of mineral "oil" on the blade. Cleaned the scabbard with mineral "spirits". Then I took a small file and lightly "de-burred" the inside of the scabbard "mouth". I then sprayed WD-40 inside the scabbard. Then I placed the saber in the scabbard. Not all the way into the scabbard at first. Put the saber into the scabbard several times, until the saber worked it's way fully into the scabbard. Looks beautiful, and everything feels really solid. The saber comes dull, which is fine for me. A great buy at Bud K !!!"
"I've had this sword for a few months now and I am very happy with the product, you get much more that you paid for. The sword is very good and comes oiled. Personally recommend any collector to start with this. 10\10"
"Purchased this saber about a month ago for myself. Could not believe the way it looked and felt when I opened the box. Had to do a couple of minor modifications to it but well worth the time. Recommend replacing leather cushioning ring and spraying the the inside of the scabbard with WD40 or liquid wrench (turn upside down on cloth to drain excess). Some minor fileing on scabbard throat to remove rough edges and to make removing and replacing saber smoother. Showed it to my brother in law and now he's ordering one for himself. We are both retired military. Plus I'm ordering a second one for a friend who is also retired miltary."
