White Dragon Samurai Sword

Good for display

I bought this because I wanted to practice sharpening a carbon steel sword and not be out much if I screwed it up. It's quite a nice looking piece, but if you're thinking it's for anything but display, you're wrong. The blade has quite a bit of play in it and doesn't fit too solidly with the scabbard. Some of this may stem from the fact that UPS managed to bend the sword where the blade meets the tsuba. Easy enough to fix, but I have to imagine the issues would have still been there. But like I said, it's very nice to look at so as a display piece it's quite nice for the money.
