Nice short sword, good for practice but we tried stage fighting - the handle comes off, since it is screwed on. (no pic yet) Nice ornamental short sword, heavy and good for stage work as well. To do stage fighting where the swords actually come together you have to have swords made for this purpose, or the blade becomes scratched and nicked real fast...(no pic yet..)
