This was a present for my boyfriend who loves blades. I thought it would an interesting gift and it fit into my budget well since I did have so many people to buy for. I love the look and feel of it, as did my boyfriend, but it did have a couple issues. One was that the material wrapped around the handles can unravel and fell away easy from just being handled a couple times; which I must that they were not actually being used . It was also impossible to push both swords into the sheath all the way. Either one was in all the way with the other sticking out more than the other, or they were both pulled a little out of the sheath. Good for display but even being handled to show to people made the material fall off.
