What do you know about this sword?

I am new to your site, but not new to swords. MY current collection ranges from everything from a stainless steal beater (which suprisingly withstood chopping down a tree) to a paul chen practical and 5 or so other sword. I was wondering if you knew anything about this sword. It looks similar to the Musashi bushido flying dragon sword but not quite.

Thank you,

Jason Roland

ANSWER: Hi Jason,

It looks to me to be a cheap knock off of a cheap sword!! The price is waay too good to be true, I'd be very wary. Especially because, these guys do not have a very good reputation for customer service...

Better to stick with the tried and tested vendors within the Sword Buyers Directory - it might cost a few extra dollars from there, but at least:

A) You WILL get the sword you pay for and
B) If there is a problem, you will be taken care of.

Hope this helps,

- Paul
