I bought these because I saw another JROTC instructor's positive post. I was very satisfied with them and my cadets are excited to finally have new sabers. Beware that they are sharp. Also they are more straight than an official Army saber. Outside of that, these are an excellent replacement for use in our once or twice a year saber arches.

My wife and the engraver thought this saber cost over $100.00 and not the extremely low price I paid for the item. I'm extremely pleased with the look and quality of the saber.

Great looking. The engraving could be of a little higher quality, but better then I expected at the price.

I ordered seven. One is going to my son (engraved) and the others will go to his groomsmen as a gift.
Before I go into some of the issues I had, let me preface that with if you're looking at these sabers, then you're probably in need of a saber substitute and care less about aesthetics. The alternative is to pay $300 plus for authentic sabers and that wasn't something I saw myself doing.
So if you're looking to use these as ceremonial sabers for say a wedding, then this will suffice -- barely. Maybe, if you get a good one, you can put it in a shadow case and offer it up as a gift.....but that's a serious maybe.
Bottom line, these sabers are not perfect, you will see some scuffs near the handles and from a first person view. To be fair, the seller wanted me to return all of the ones that had scuffs but I needed them for a wedding so I'm stuck with them. He did give me a partial refund on the very first one that I had engraved ($30). Also, ALL of the sabers I received have some measure of scuffs of various sizes and intensity.
I will say that I doubt you'd be able to see the imperfections from a far but I'm a bit frustrated regardless. I don't think the seller inspects these sabers so understand this if you buy. Also, though the seller was speedy with correspondence, he could have done more on the other six sabers. Returning all of the sabers is a mess in itself. The boxes they come in are not meant to re-purpose for shipping so even if I had considered returning them, I'd have to contend with that mess.
I gave 3 stars because they meet the need but I can't overlook the imperfections, regardless of price.

Clean Saber, no rust or corrosion. Cane in a box with packing penuts. The blue slip cover for the saber is cheap material but if its on display then you dont need it. I had a engraving shop put laser printing on the saber I bought. Looks awesome! I will be buying more!
