It's the steel on the inside that counts.

I have one of these. I feel the review Scott linked to is pretty spot on. My sword also did not come with the leather washer. No big deal to me. While the blade does seem a tad heavy, the sword itself is well balanced. Feels very solid, and would probably make a great cutter for most people.
My only complaint is the shortness of the hilt. Maybe this is accurate for most hangers and cutlasses. What makes it not so good is that the top part of the shell/guard is not straight; it curves downwards in the direction of the pommel. So...short hilt + downward guard leaves less room for your hand, and the shell actually kind of digs in to your hand. I find myself having to wrap my pinky and ring finger around the pommel in order to use it more comfortably.
This one complaint doesn't detract enough so that I have buyer's remorse. I don't. I do really like the sword, and glad I have a hanger/cutlass in my collection.

I have this belt and it's quite decent if you can get a new leather strip to serve as the tightening strands over whatever sword sheath/scabbard you use. Nowhere near the quality of Valiant Armory or anything custom, but it will work fine of you have a sword and it doesn't have a belt already with it.

Interesting their putting the battlecry line on sale. I think I remember hearing something about them not selling well enough so they were going to be discontinued.
