I really wanted to like this item...
I was really excited about this item. The Damascus blade is pretty cool and the overall aesthetic is gorgeous. But when you look close the construction is mediocre, at best. The push-button clip that prevents the sword from being drawn only latches on by a sliver of metal. I was able to wiggle it loose without pushing the button. The worst part of this item is the "hidden" knife. Whereas the sword's blade looks cool, the knife's blade looks like it was crudely stamped and ground out of a solid piece of all-thread. The construction of the knife was extremely loose right out of the box. Even upon tightening everything down myself it still wiggles easily when attached to the main shaft of the cane. This is my first Dragon King purchase, so I probably try another product to determine if it is just this product that failed. We'll see.

Dull As a Butterknife
Overall this is a very beautiful piece. Unfortunately, the sword blade is not sharp. In fact, other than the last few inches, it has a square edge. I can run it with pressure across a piece of wood and it will not cut at all. I purchased this rather expensive "high carbon Damascus steel" sword expecting a quality razor sharp blade. I received an ornamental sword that won't cut paper. First serious disappointment from Knifecenter.
