E-BOGU Polypropylene General Black Sword (32")

Exactly what I was hoping for. Sturdy and good quality, especially for the price.blade doesn't bend and the design is well done

It's a relatively small practice weapon, clearly designed for one hand wielding, but where the handle guard and the grip meet is an issue. The way the plastic is designed there's a small square that's as thick as the rounded handle, but it's semi-sharp and would hurt if you held onto it with your hand fully pressed against the guard. If they could shave that out, or change the hilt entirely to better suit holding, then this could be a nice 4 or 5 star. Sadly, that square center piece between the rounded handle and small guard isn't appealing. Overall still a neat replica.

The overall construction and design is great although the handle is too round for my liking and the sharp corners of the pommel do not feel good against the wrist it's very durable but also quite a bit heavier than you'd expect it's hard to wield with one hand which is specifically why I bought it to be usable in one hand, reason why it's so heavy it's cuz it has no distal taper making it feel like more of a club than a sword which is fixable with a file if you're patient enough

Asia had so many wars over time with there people. This blade was said to be part of destiny a warrior that can take down many armys so please keep for a kid and tell them a story of destiny.

wow just wow, this thing is AWESOME. It's too short (but it shows you the length so I knew this) and it's a bit to light. I'm not the biggest fan of the grip, I prefer a smooth grip or wrapped. However all in all I've not found a better training Jian in wood or plastic. I highly recommend this one. I think I'll buy again so I can give it those I'm sparring with.

It's good, but the main thing holding it back is the crossguard. The crossguard needs to be flipped the other way because the way it is now hurts the top of the hand when swung around and when it impacts something, which could make it risky to use.It may seem like a small complaint, but a bad crossguard can ruin an otherwise great sword or prop.

My only problem with this sword is that it digs into my thumb when I wield it. Aside from that it works very well. I recommend wearing gauntlets with this so it doesn't cut into your thumb knuckle

It was a fantastic purchase — and maybe I just got unlucky. I really loved the sword, but it broke after some abuse. It’s casting wasnt completely solid… it broke at the guard and then at the base of the blade thanks to some air bubbles to finally take it out of commission. Seriously loved using it while it lasted, though. Minus the slightly uncomfortable handle and faulty cast, (it was great with my protective gloves), it was perfect.
