YONG XIN SWORD-Sword, Handmade, Practical, 1095 Carbon Steel,Full Tang, Sharp, Scabbard

Sword is very nice for the price, steel appears to be of decent quality and has a nice edge and polish on entire item. Hilt is cord wrapped and fits well in the hand. Balance is good. Sheath is plain and unremarkable, but still adds to overall appearance of the item. Rate this item as a 100% buy.

This is a nice sword especially at this price. Sturdy, but pliable, plain, unadorned with a nicely sharpened edge. The handle is straight with the blade and everything tight and sturdy. Handle is plain with synthetic wrapping and will do. This is a nice sword! it is small and the blade not a lot broader than a rapier, but very light, maneuverable, with extremely good balance. It appears quite sturdy, but I'm not in the habit of whacking a perfectly good sword blade against a tree to discover which breaks! for this price, grab it. If the sheath thrills you this sheath is so poor its laughable and the reason I gave it 4 stars over 5.

As stated by other reviews its solid and light, blade design is precisely what I desired, handle is comfortable the hilt is good but could have more rounded edges but at this price, I'll round them if needed, the pommal is nice its unscrews easily but it doesn't hold the sword together and it is plenty good. In the picture depicting their forging it has nice full tang, so it is solidly built sword. My only problem is it seems light for a sword 6mm thick, no fuller, 1095 steel, but it is only a 24 inch long blade and only 1 3/8 inch wide. Really one of the best feeling swords or large knife to wield, i just had a neighbors white pine blow over in my yard so I'll be testing this sword out, deffinantly wacking off a few limbs for sure will not attempt to cut the trunk of the tree, that's for my chain saw and axe. 1095 steel is tough and the 24 inch blade could be the perfect match for this steel. if tempered to hard longer swords in 1095 can snap because it is brittle, we dont know all the variables in the production of this sword but it should a great cutter and user where other swords are more decorative even though they are real swords, I'll end up buying their diamond patterned sister sword for sure. Great quality build, great sword at first glance will know more after some branch removal, will not try to break the sword but, will keep the cutting within reason.

I initially saw this sword on the wealljuggleknives channel on YouTube and I pretty much thought if it's good enough for him it's been there for me. But actually it's much better than that. I first ordered the medieval version which is the straight blade without the small cutouts by the hilt it's well balanced with a balance point of about 1.75 in above the hilt the panels are well weighted and the sword feels light in the hand. It comes much sharper than pretty much any other sort out there and is ready for bottle cutting. I had a little trouble getting the vintage version which is the slightly leaf shaped blade with the small cutouts at the hilt. Both of them are wrapped extremely tightly with cord which provides a very comfortable grip. I had to contact the seller directly as it seems that Amazon cannot differentiate between the two or they only have one of them in stock and don't bother checking before sending it. I will tell you that it is a threaded pommel so that when you receive it you may want to unscrew it and put some screw glue or other thread locker on it but it is very sturdy. Scabbard is a leather wrapped wood but there is no belt loop or frog included so you will not be wearing this. For $129 you would usually get a glorified wall hanger these ones are actually ready to use. I look forward to seeing what this particular seller has in store for any other designs.

I really wanted to fall in love with the sword. On paper, dimensions and weight it seemed exactly what I was looking for.Don’t get me wrong, this is a great sword. The handle has a nice wrap, sturdy construction. And the blade had a working edge, fairly sharp.Here’s why I gave it 4/5 and why I ultimately returned it to find something more suitable for my needs.First off in the pictures you can see that the tip came slightly marred.Next, the blade is just slightly off, the grind on one side doesn’t match the grind on the other.And lastly, Other reviews stated that the cross guard was a bit large. I actually liked it. My only problem was that the edges were a bit too sharp. That’s nothing a quick file couldn’t fix…But ultimately for these three reason, I sent it back. At $120 at the time of purchase I was looking for just a little more out of the sword.

This is so freaking sweet! I absolutely love this sword. It came sharp, and looks great. Nothing fancy, but it's gotten me a lot of praise on how it looks and feels. For the price point it really can't be beat! Fully functional, solid design, seems well made. Upon delivery I needed to twist the pommel to tighten it all up a bit, likely from the jostling of the shipping process. The sheath was super tight taking out and putting the sword in it, but only at first. I keep the blade oiled, and after it was taken out and put back in a handful of times it's super smooth. The leathery material on the wooden sheath is holding tight, but starting to show a bit of wear from taking it in and out of my sword frog that I use to wear the sword on my side. Perfect! Have recommended to others (many have asked), would buy from these guys again, without a doubt!
