After having this for a while I gotta admit, I really like it. Every bit of if feels sturdy/solid. The weight is a tad bit on the heavy side but that's actually how I prefer it for a sword of this size, (with enough handle for two hands). The fit is very solid, I even made sure to take it apart, (which was pretty straightforward with no issues), and confirmed a proper full tang as described on the site. Easy to put back together as well and didn't feel loose after disassembly and reassembly. Support was also very helpful to inform and update me on the process as the sword was made for me.
