I have had this sword for a couple of years. Used for light cutting only (pumpkins and water bottles). One very small knick to the edge at the point and several small scratchs from where my son carried through a stroke and hit the lawn. Grip is red, pommel is bronze, a small amount of verdigris present. I am trying to scrape together enough $ for a polish job on a Ron Macy Katana :)

This sword is an amazing cutter, if a sunny afternoon chopping things up appeals to you this is the one.
