Cold Steel did it better
I like it well enough. I find the overall aesthetic is a touch dorky but that's true of most of United Cutlery (especially when they're trying to put their own spin on higher end stuff like RMJ and Microtech). I like that the tip isn't too thin. This is a very late review (like 6 years late) so I don't remember how sharp it was out of the box.I have 3 main issues:1. The pommel spike is entirely unnecessary and probably more dangerous to the user than an opponent.2. The rubber grip while comfy developed a wiggle pretty quickly. I would have preferred it be polypropylene.3. The sheath is ok but the strap us so tight it's almost not worth trying to snap it closed. I suspect the snaps will rip themselves out eventually.Overall I'd call it a fun beater and good for LARPing as a cyber roman. Basically you get what you pay for.
