This high quality brand new Red Oak Hardwood sword is commonly used for learning martial arts forms such as Tai Chi and Wushu. These also make an excellent training weapon for European sword techniques for the medieval re-enactor. Overall Length: 36" Blade Length: 28"

They sent the wrong item.
Honestly, I really wasn't expecting much. All I wanted was a cheap but relatively sturdy wooden gim to practice with, nothing fancy. I guess these folks decided they needed to impress me with their capacity to suck by sending me a sword that was not only different from the one pictured, but an even crappier version of what was not an impressive item to begin with.The one I ordered appeared to be of laquered red oak. The one I got was made out of some other wood, and came in a crappy scabbard of the same material, and a tassel that was stapeled on the end of it. I didn't want or need a scabbard or tassel. Really guys, if someone orders something from you and you send them something else, this is what we call bad business practices.
