I had one... a decent sword. I liked the blade and the over all design... didn't really care for the guard/pommel bird theme much tho. However, as far as how well its built, it is one of the better Windlass swords so if you dig the look... go ahead and get it. Its a good one.

It's solid for a Windlass sword, doesn't handle bad at all, and properly sharpened can deal some serious cutting action.

It fits in the scabbard kind of loose, a function of the blade shape I suppose, and the grip has a stitched seam that can be annoying depending on the user.

It comes up on the MRL Deal Of The Day rotation every so often, you could save a few coin if you wait for it to come up again.
Being into Fantasy swords myself, I do believe that it is worth the $180.
