Not perfect, but good - Cold Steel Italian Long Sword

Not Perfect, But Good. * Pros: Really sharp, no loose parts or extra large gaps, everything straight & manufactured properly, scabbard not loose, very nicely balanced, handles well with one or both hands. * Cons: Long scratch on leather grip on one side, scabbard leaves large marks on blade, scabbard really tight. * Overall: Very nice functional stabbing & cutting sword for use with one or both hands. Handles much better with one hand than Cold Steel's similar Hand-and-a-Half Sword, but doesn't cut nearly as well. If you want it for a display piece, don't put it in the scabbard at all to reduce difficult-to-remove blade marks. I like it.
