1. I ordered this sword to use with a pirate costume, and it certainly looks the part, but there were a few shortcomings.The scabbard is fairly well made, but the brass stud that holds a real cutlass in its frog (the thingie you hang the scabbard from your belt with) isn't attached to the scabbard, as it would be in the genuine article. Instead, it's a separate casting that does nothing useful whatsoever.The frog itself is made of a particularly stretchy variety of pleather. This means that the scabbard slips free of the frog after a few minutes of wear, dumping the scabbard on the ground. I fashioned a better frog using leather scraps left over from another project.The sword itself is quite convincing, has the proper heft, and screams "pirate!" without having to paste little skulls and crossbones all over it.If you want detailed historical accuracy, keep looking. If you want an inexpensive accessory for a nautical costume and are able to deal with its shortcomings, this cutlass and scabbard is a bargain.



2. Unlike many others out there, I didn't buy this sword just to play dress up. I've a powerful need to own a sword that can do some damage and actualy hold it's own in a fight. It may surprise quite a few people to know that most nerds and geeks have at least one sword. Most of them harbor some kind of fantasy about either traveling to some Narnia type world and using their sword to become a great hero or traveling to the distant past like maybe King Aurthur's Court or a post apocolyptic future where guns and bullets have become extremely rare (see Battle Angel Alita) or they're waiting for the zombies to attack because when facing off against zombies nothing beats a sword. The thing is, nerds almost never bother to train with their swords beyond pulling them out and taking a few practice slashes in front of a mirror, and only a small few know enough to not buy a mere, stainless steel, "display" sword. With the current political turmoil all over the world the odds of living in a post apocalyptic near future have gone up. Many religious fanatics believe that the apocolyps is right around the corner. That would bring about the walking dead. Al Gore says the polar ice caps are going to melt soon, submerging much of the world in water. That would certainly bring about a rise in piracy. So I decided to train with my swords while putting much of my collection to the test. Now, as of yet, I've not had occasion to cross blades with any nerds, heroes, zombies or pirates, yet. But after a few intense training sessions, invloving large firewood logs hanging from ropes attatched to tree branches, this blade doesn't have a single dent, nick or scratch. The hand guard has a couple dents and scratches but it's nothing more than I expected. The hand guard is brass after all. The hilt wobbles a little bit but that was to be exptected as well, and it's only a tiny bit. The frog is a piece of cr@p but who needs it? The sheath is strong and sturdy. I am quite confident that with this sword I could cut through nerds and zombies like butter. I'll give heroes and pirates a little more credit and say that I could hold my own for a while but I think the sword would remain after I've been cut down. If you're looking for a sword that has some practical functionality, this is it right here.

1 comments about Custom Street Cane.

1. I own the hickory model of this cane and it is a good cane for the purpose for which it was designed. I am partial to canes made from hickory, I have three.
   The only observation and impression that I would like to leave on the prospective purchaser is be aware that this is a martial arts instrument. The bird's head and grips give it away as such and should it ever be necessary to employ this cane in self defense, one may have to explain why one was carrying a martial arts instrument.
   The grips and bird's head are not included on my other two hickory canes; they are very plain (and much less expensive). I have found that my very plain canes work just as well as my Custom Street Cane and are readily explained as necessary to assist me in getting around; they are not martial arts instruments.
   This is why, for daily use, my Custom Street Cane enjoys it's perch by my front door and stays there while I take one of my other two out for a walk.

1. This is a great follow on to Saulo's 1st set and this in conjunction with his no-gi set really gives you a good overall game.
   Definately the highlight of this set is the takedown disc, well worth the price of the whole set!

1. Got it within good time, and actually liked the quality for how inexpensive it was. It was perfect for the cosplay in which it was intended.

5 comments about Expandable Spring Baton.

1. I bought this collaspsible "baton" for my wife thinking that she may find it handy warding off an unfriendly dog or somesuch on her frequent walks about town. When I opened the box upon its arrival, I was in for a rude reality slap-in-the-face. This "baton" as it turned out, is much more like a large, collapsible, spring door-stopper than a self-defence weapon. In fact, if one were actually to use this thing against something like an angry dog, not only would one end up with dog bites, one would probably get whacked a few times by one's own "baton" bouncing off the dog and springing back at one with a fury. This thing, that is, "baton," could be fairly dangerous, only not to anyone but the person wielding it.



2. Realize first off that this baton is manufactured with a spring-like material, not solid metal like a large majority of baton are made of. It still perform as a baton is intended to, but in my opinion, should not be used by a person that does not have previous experience with baton class self-defense weapons. Otherwise, it is a good product with an above average price.



3. The batton expands very well, even though I'm not sure if a spring batton will stop an attack or if the spring hit will just pieced off a little bit more the enemy.
   
   If the batton is not properly expanded, it will easily retract we you need it expanded.



4. Product was in flawless brand new condition. Was exactly as expecting. Great Price and Very Fast Shipping. I will recomend this seller to ALL!! A+ Rating.



5. i prefer a solid shaft over the spring one in this model. this one is good for hitting your brother but not someone trying to hurt you.
