I got one about 3 months ago. Overall i think this is excellent concept, but less than satisfactory execution.
It is certainly light, but the blocky handle becomes a bit uncomfortable to use after awhile. So I think the handle isn't that great in an ergonomic sense. Also, the exposed metal on the handle has RUSTED. If they did really put some kind of plasma coating for the blade, apparently they forgot to consider the metal on the handle. The metal on the handle also has an unpleasant feeling to me when in use. In this sense, the tactical "look" was more important than the actual functionality.
As for the saya, after 2 weeks it got very loose. The sword falls out of the saya easilly when moved a little, upside down. But this issue can be solved with using a small portion of the paracord to lock it, making a locking system utilizing the kurikata and the small handleguard.
Out of the box, it isn't very sharp at all, and it has a double bevel. But it can still cut some hard targets.
It seemed kinda cool at first, but its problems became more apparent over a short time. Overall I wouln't really recomend it.
