Sword Art Online SAO Medium Carbon Steel with Sheath-Kirito Elucidator, Asuna, Kirigaya (Kirito Elucidator Version 2)

Very nice sword, I assume it to be partial tang based on my partner swinging it around. Similar to real blades it's slightly oiled up in the sheath. The sword itself is not sharp but is very pretty. All the paint was accurate, no mistakes or blemishes were seen.

I was afraid this sword would be loose at the handle or jiggle like some reviews led me to believe. It is a nice and solid piece, though. The blade isn't really sharp, but definitely can be sharpened...just be careful not to scratch the black on the blade. It was a great price and I bought 2, both are good quality/the same. I ordered from the 1sword seller as they carry almost exclusively weaponry in their shop, and the boxes arrived fairly well packaged and intact. 10/10 this is going to be a great gift/wall princess

Good item for the price

No major cosmetic faults that I can see, and it looks great! The handle feels good, and the scabbard is solid and fits nicely. The only issue would be the slight wobble where the blade attaches to the handle. When moved side to side you can hear something clicking, as if the blade isn't 100% secured. It's stable enough to swing around lightly, though. There's also a little rattle in the handle itself like there's something small and hard inside that's moving around. But, then again, for not even $60 for a display sword, who cares? It looks great and that's what matters.

The media could not be loaded. I only rated this a 5 because I rounded up from 4.5, the reason being because I am a perfectionist and there was a couple of scratches, well, I wouldn’t call them scratches since they aren’t actually damaging to the blade, it’s just a rushed paint job that can be easily fixed, also the sheath has a minor defect, the little metal thing at the edge that avoids scratching at the wood was already very loose on it when it arrived, I don’t know if it was the manufacturer’s fault or if it was the doing of delivery, but a quick hot glue fix is the solution, also it’s fairly heavy, I’d say around 8 pounds which is a decent toll on the wrist, it’s perfect for a fan that wants it for decoration, and also for a diehard fan since I couldn’t find a better manufacturer than this one, it’s a fantastic product with extremely minor defects, but I don’t doubt the durability of the sword or the amount of effort that was placed into it because it is AMAZING for the price

First of all, the shipping was incredible. I placed the order December 30th and received it this afternoon (1.4.16), I was really impressed with how quickly the sword came, when it was scheduled to arrive on the 11th or 12th. It was packaged very securely and safely, the box it came in wasn't damaged at all, which was very pleasing. Overall, Elucidator's beautiful! It's true to the anime, well balanced, and put together very well. There were a few scratches in the paint by the hilt from being in the sheath (I'm assuming), but it's nothing major. The only major complaint I have is that there's a fairly big crack in the side of the sheath. I'm not sure if the crack formed since the box was sitting outside my house in the cold this morning for a couple of hours or if something happened during manufacturing/shipping unrelated to the quality and security of the packaging itself. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this and I know my boyfriend is going to love it for our anniversary! (He's planning on getting me Lambent Light!)**Update: I contacted Top Swords about the damaged sheath about a day or so after it initially arrived and they promptly shipped out a new sheath that arrived within 2 days in perfect conditions and was also very securely packaged.Thank you Top Swords!

First let me say that I collect a lot of replica weapons from my favorite shows and films (I own replicas of Narsil, Gimli's Battle Axe, The Fighting Knives of Legolas, etc.) and I have been an avid weapon collector of all kinds for over ten years. The "Elucidator" replica that I purchased is honestly a great product for the price. The blade is 440 stainless steel and comes unsharpened, though you could easily sharpen it if you have the knowledge and means. The workmanship is about a B+ as some of the colored areas (like the silver stars on the hilt) are a little bit sloppy. For the price, I can look past the little flaws for the fact that the blade itself is very straight. In the past when buying replica weapons this has been an issue 50% of the time, the sword or blade being bent or curved when it shouldn't be. The weight was surprisingly heavier than what I was expecting and that's always a plus.Overall, the price is right for this replica and I would definitely recommend it for any hardcore SAO fans that want something awesome to hang on their wall for all their friends to be jealous of.
