I personally think the seller should raise their prices on this because its worth at least $50. I liked the look of it in photos but fully expected it to be of subpar construction. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually quite well made.
Other anime prop swords I've gotten in the past have been horribly balanced, with loose blade/hilt attachment, and made with cheap plastic. This one, however, feels solid in your hands. The sheath has some serious heft to it, and is matched to the curve of the "blade" to be drawn and sheathed easily. While in the sheath it feels secure and doesn't shift around. It can be a little hard to draw, there's a piece between the blade and guard that is supposed to fit snugly into the aperture of the sheath (this is a thing with real swords, too), but its possible to pop it loose by putting pressure on the guard with the thumb of your off-hand before pulling the hilt with your sword hand for a nice quick draw. The sword itself is light but has just enough weight to feel balanced and can easily be swung without the blade feeling like it's going to pop off. The hilt has a cheap plastic pommel and guard ring but the hilt itself has real wrapped cord in the style expected of a Japanese sword, twisted in a way that fits your fingers.
The blade material is light and made of either wood or hard, fibrous plastic (I can't tell), so don't expect it to handle being swung full-force into something, but its meant to be a prop, that's not the point. What it can handle is being hung from the belt (it comes with a nice leather holster that can be attached to a belt, which does a good job holding it in place while walking), drawn and sheathed repeatedly, swung about lightly, and posed with in a variety of stances to suit your inner Hashira. All in all, a good solid prop that I was pleasantly surprised to find at this price point. For this quality I'd gladly pay twice as much. Also, since the blade material is light, non-metal, and not sharpened at all, this should be considered safe to carry as a prop weapon at most anime conventions, though it will depend on the individual con and their weapons rules.
I'm planning on wearing this as part of a Giyu Tomioka cosplay for 3 days at Anime Onsen in Colorado coming up soon, so I'll update this review after 3 days of consecutive use to see how it holds up.
