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

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.

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.

This sword is solidly built and sharp in edge and point. This is *not* a theatric sword unless you want to slice open your fellow actor! While the sword is generally attractive, there are no flourishes or engravings - it is a straightforward functional weapon. It is a bit heavy - but I believe that comes with the sturdiness. It comes with protective oil on its blade, which I intend to leave on it until I need to display it, or it gathers too much sand. This can be easily wiped off. The scabbard is acceptable, but minimalist - no locket, hangers, nor chape. Simple wood-core scabbard with a faux leather exterior. There is no sword frog or belt attachment included, so you will have to provide that separately. Overall better constructed and more functional than I had expected.

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.

Such a lovely blade, and adequately sharp. I'll have to clean up the edge a bit but it's something you'd have to touch to notice, visually stunning and so far sturdy and comfortable, both in weight and hand feel. Considering purchasing another for the left hand.I am disappointed in the fact that the scabbard is slightly too big as the sword will simply slide out if you're not careful. All in all though I'd have to say I'm very happy with this purchase.

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!

Ok so listen. This thing is weird but it's one of the most solid European swords I've ever seen. I've sold and collected swords for over 10 years and I've never come across a sword like this. It's small and light, but solid and sharp has hell. The sheath is pretty trash but I can spruce it up. All in all it's a solid sword and is definitely worth the money.

The sword is quite beautiful, and fun to wield. Its well weighted, and seems to have a sturdy blade.Regardless of the quality or carbon content of the steel, the tang connecting the handle to the blade, is quite thin. This can result in catastrophic failure if anybody decides to try to use this as a combat ready blade.
