5 comments about Zelda Twilight Princess Link Master Replica Sword.
- The belt is very nice! My son loved it for his birthday. However, when he picked it out, he thought (as did I) that the sword came with it. When the belt arrived without the sword, he was very disappointed to learn that the sword was not included.
Be aware that the sword does NOT come with it.
- the handle can feel a little bit plastic, but the whole thin looks great. I can really recomend it, especialy at this price.
I ordered it from sweden and it arrived ahead of the set time :)
- For Starters, The Sword it's self is Amesome! I am a huge Legend of Zelda fan and for the price i'm very happy. Only a few problems tho, the color of the handel is a lot darker than the picture. The paint job is kinda done poorly. But the gold parts that were done bad( the little gold triangle) are easly fixed. It's a great sword for Cosplay as well, the Scarreb fits quite well and dosent stick too much. Very happy with this!
- This replica is a beauty and any zelda fan will love to add this ot their collection. It comes encased in 2 styrofoam blocks that prevents the sword from moving around in the box during shipping, so it's very unlikely that it gets damaged before being delivered to you. The scabbard is smooth and nicely polished and the sword itself is full of small details that just make the replica feel authentic! One thing to look out for, however, is the mouth of the scabbard (the "golden" part where you slide the blade in). It has a v-shaped groove in it that the diamond on the blade's guard slides into, but mine fit in so snuggly that I couldn't draw the blade without having the golden part still stuck to it and coming completely off from the scabbard! It's a problem that's easily fixable and yours may not even get that problem, but in this case it will cost a point to what would otherwise be a five stars item! All in all, I still recommend it and beyond that one little flaw mine had, it remains a great product!
- I specifically purchased this item with the intent of mounting it on my wall with a plaque. I'm a moderate fan of the Zelda games; my first experience being on the ol' SNES, going through Zelda: Ocarina of Time, several of the Gameboy, GBC, and GBA games, and finally beating Twilight Princess recently.
The sword looks very much as it appears in the pictures, dark blue pommel and grip. The weapon is quite long. I reccomend pulling out a measuring tape and visually comparing the length given in the description before buying. It looks like the master-sword, and so it should. The scabbard is very nice, though there are no loops or holes to attach to your own belt.
My only complaints with the weapon are minor. The Hilt, grip, and pommel seem to be molded from PVC or some other similar plastic. It feels a little cheap in the hand. The weapon is not "full-tang" (I.e. the blade ends at the hilt, rather then continuing all the way up the handle). This means that in any kind of mock battle or play, the blade could easily be disconnected from the handle. Even a hard swing of the sword in the air could potentially damage it. The blade itself is made from a cheaper metal, and could use a good polishing once it arrives. I would use it soley for display, or to compliment a costume.

4 comments about Everlast Train Advanced MMA 7-Ounce Striking / Training Gloves.
- these are very good gloves for sparring sessions.
The padding is very good for its size but doesn't take away from the speed of them.
Long wrist strap for added stability.
Cant find anything wrong really, quite durable also.
- These gloves are very comfortable. At 7oz they provide plenty of soft padding so you don't injure your sparring partner. The wrist wraps provide good support and they are adjustable well do to the generous amount of velcro. I can punch my heavy bag without worry of injuring my knuckles at 100% power. I do use sports tape to prevent abrasion on my pinky and 4th knuckle even though I generally strike with the index and middle. They fit way better than the basic foam sparring glove and not as dense or hard as a 4oz UFC style fight/grappling glove.
- Great gloves we use them for light to heavy sparring with the everlast mma headguard and to this day Im still injury free have taken a few bumps to the nose but nothing serious. I would reccomend this for any one wanting to train in sparring/grappling.
- These gloves have are perfectly weighted and allow for tons of open hand movement while not sacrificing a solid striking surface. The wrist wraps provide wrist protection and allow for quick adjustment if needed.

4 comments about Target Board for Throwing Knives.
- i liked the item but they emailed asked me about my address and stuff with out being very specific about who they were i didnt know who they were and thought they were phishing
- You can get this elsewhere for under 10 dollars (before shipping). It's only worth buying if you plan on paying that much or less, certainly not if you're paying twice as much as they want you to do here.
Here's my experience with it: I used it for throwing shuriken. Some of my shuriken are heavy and would have destroyed this board in no time. It can stand up fine to lighter ones and is quite durable-- if you have great aim. Unfortunately, the metal rim is very, very flimsy. A few errant throws and the rim will get horribly chewed up. The staples holding it on do not hold well either. I was still making do until, finally, the staples holding the hook on fell off.
All in all, it only lasted for a couple of months of off-and-on throwing. I'd say that for something temporary it was worth what I paid for it, but again, I spent about half of what they want you to pay for it here. Only get this if you can find it much cheaper, and bear in mind that it's only a temporary solution until you can find something better to throw at.
- The item was suppose to be in stock. 2 weeks after it did not show up I contacted the company and was told it was on the way......Then I contacted them again .... They did not have any in stock. They did refund my money but they were not honest with the original advertisment. If you do not have any say so.
- Kinda figured it being a little bigger oh well guess I'll just have to get better with my knives and quills. Put a larger backstop behind it for those longer less accurate throws. Nice target for the money though. If your into throwing knives and such you won't be disappointed with the quality either I've hit mine hundreds of times(won't say how many times I've thrown and missed though) and it still looks like new except some of the yellow is getting dirty. Not bad!

- Excellent gloves for a discount price. Provide a fair amount of wrist support but are best used with hand wraps.

5 comments about Dragon Claw Finger Armor Blade Black.
- its an awsome peice of work very nicely made.
blade is nice nice hinges that dont jab into your finger.
very quick shipping.
the only problem is its built for a bigger finger
but other than that its freaking awsome! 5/5
- Do not scratch your nose while wear this.... but seriously I use it for opening boxes and letters... So much easier then fighting with a box cutter or letter opener.
- I just got it and it looks awesome but its really loose and slips off easily.
- I recently purchased a Dragon Claw Finger Armor Blade(Black) and am really pleased with it. I have slender fingers and I had read allot of reviews of various finger armor complaining about them being to big and loose so I was kind of wondering if it would fit well enough. The dragon claw fit's good, I have slender fingers but it fits on well and doesn't slide off unless I point my fingers straight down. It looks awesomely cool, fits well and is a great buy for the price. Highly recommended.
- This thing is nice, it comes actually pretty sharp and well put together. The day I got it I instantly used it to rip up my old homework, with ease of course. I will definitely buy more of these for every finger. Also I have bought from Sword demon before, its a very trustworthy site. Overall, very very good for price

5 comments about Everlast Mexican Style Handwraps.
- They are O-k. But I've had better. Not to mention they took like 3 weeks to get here. When B4 it only took 4-5 Days........Must have been the store
- I purchased these wraps after using the shorter 100% cotton ones, and have to say that these are so much better! Being a beginner I had to learn how to correctly wrap my hands, but they are 10X more comfortable and it seems like they breathe better than the shorter. Granted, it is a bit more of a hassle to hang them up and store away after a workout, but I believe that is nothing compared to how great they feel! I recommend this product to everyone, but make sure you know how to properly wrap your hands!
- I ordered these wraps about a month ago, but it looks like I had them for about a year or more. The velcro straps from the wraps or the boxing gloves get caught with the material and completely shreds them. I wish the material was a little stronger or thicker. I am not a professional boxer so these will do,just need to be careful with them getting caught in the velcro.
- Got these to keep me from injuring my wrist or hands as I start trying to get back into shape by punching a Wave Master. Never used anything like these before. Found YouTube videos teaching how to use them. Seem to be exactly as advertised. Wrapped correctly they provide a bit of extra support to wrist and hands. Only used them twice because I find that the gloves I bought at the same time seem to do a good job shielding my knuckles and my wrists don't feel stressed. Perhaps as I get in shape and punch harder I will need the wraps. I suspect the Wave Master I'm using is probably easier on the wrists and hands than a heavy hanging bag might be. Not sorry I got them but I don't seem to really need them at this stage in my workout.
- pretty awesome wraps!
pros:
-different colors available..to match gloves or whatever.
-feels good on hands.
-not too long like I read from reviews, its actually just the perfect length.
cons:
- the Velcro part that grabs the Velcro feels like its gonna rip off
but that can be easily fixed with some stitching's.

2 comments about Zelda Hylian Wooden Shield Full Size.
- Overall this is a smaller shield than I was hoping for but does its role. The handle on the back is surprisingly efficient. As for the detail on the shield, Some of it seems off-centered but overall for it's price it is a good buy as a prop.
- Though a great replica and a good price, I did expect a bit more. My main complaint with this item is the paint job. It's not fantastic. You can tell they used a stencil... cause it blurs off the edges a bit. But oh well. It's for a 5 year old... but it's way cheaper than others I've seen.

2 comments about Everlast Train Advanced MMA 7-Ounce Closed-Thumb Grappling / Training Gloves.
- I bought my Everlast MMA gloves in Large/x-large, this is really a X-large not a middle between both sizes, too much bigger!
- I couldn't find these locally, but I did try on a different pair of Everlasts. I would say my hands are average size for an adult male. The S/M work great for me. I try not to leave this in my bag, otherwise the sweaty leather smell can get quite strong. Beyond that, these gloves are great, and I would buy them again. I've been using them pretty regularly for a little more than a month, and they still look to be in great shape.

5 comments about Dragon Claw Finger Armor Blade Silver.
- I ordered 2 of the Dragon Claw Finger Armor Blade Silver. When my son opened the package for Christmas there was only 1 in the box. I have e-mailed and left several v/mails on this and have had no response ar all. I would not recommend this Co. to anyone they have lousy customer service.
- Very awesome, Very cool it fits well length wise but it's a bit too wide and spins around my finger. Over all very awesome!
- purchased as a gift, was sent very quickly. absolutely amazing looking piece. love it.
- I thought it was cool at first.. Gave the seller good feedback because it was a good delivery and stuff but this product sucks... Ring is too big both width and height... The blade isn't sharp enough to even cut paper/mail... Nothing to really do with this. Wear it on halloween and people will taunt and laugh at you or maybe even run away from you or call the police. Wear this in public and be called a freak or get captured by the police.. Maybe if you're obsessed with dragon crap, you should buy this as a collectors item.. Otherwise, don't!
- I was surprised by the quality when i received the finger armor, it was under $10 but it has nice weight and looks great, construction feels sturdy. very pleased with it.

3 comments about Cold Steel Latin Machete 18" Md: 97AM18..
- great all around machete!
I purchased this and received it ONLY 2 DAYS LATER and i made the purchase late on the 24th i received it early the 26th!!!
Out of the box I was a little disappointed with the grip it felt cheap but after a couple hours of hard use the blade held its edge great and the grip now feels extremely solid. I think it was because i was used to a wooden grip.
This is a great machete I highly recommend it
- Longer than a knife and shorter than a sword, this is your average size machete. The steel is strong and springy, and despite my abuse it has yet to show any bending like most machetes would get. I'm a martial artist, so I decided to practice my cuts with it on some tree limbs that fell in my backyard and was pretty pleased. If you're looking to chop down a tree, it'll be some tiresome work and you'll just dull your blade (I hacked at some thick stuff to test how deep it would cut)but if you want to take down foliage and branches, you'll feel like a lawn-care samurai. The handle is one of my favorite features, because you can tell by the look and the feel that they cared to fashion a good handle on a great blade. And while I doubt most people would care to throw a machete as a weapon, I've had a great deal of fun sticking this thing in a tree from a short distance, so you can see the tip is nice and sharp and the blade won't snap or permanently bend like the competition. All my machetes are going to be Cold Steel brand from here on out.
- Arrived much faster than expected (2 days). It's nice and lightweight, perfect length. Good quality steel. Definately needs to be sharpened but I'm sure that comes with the territory. Looks like it will last a lifetime. No complaints with plastic handle. Quite comfortable.
Kudos to this seller (cutleryusa). Highly impressed with your order processing and shipping times!
