Hi Dave, can you confirm that Emperor Costume's swords can be used to cut? I've been told in the past not to trust their blades, but if you've done it before without seeing any problems, I'll definitely consider purchasing from them. Mine is taking a good edge so far. Steel seems like some of my antiques, springy but well tempered, hard but not overly so. Not a lot of meat at the edge so I expect a fun cutter. Well, it looks like a genuine 1802 will never be in the hobby budget for me. There are just too many less expensive blades ahead of it in line. In the other hand, Uhlan was showing off his sweet sweet AN XI recently, and me wants one! So I took another longing look at the EC version. This is an older thread, but I just have to follow up. 🙂 Jordan - did you ever cut with yours? What were your impressions? With Dave giving a big thumbs-up to handling, I’m just about sold. btw, as of March 2020, EC shows these available but with a 3-6 month wait. 🤔

Ah. That is very not good. I apologize for pouring lemon juice in your paper cut. Thank you very kindly for the info, though.

They sending a replacement Jordan? Cutting water bottles is an abuse of a sword per Mssrs Guinhuit

One excuse for not committing to a refund is as good as another.
