Seems we're on a similar ship, although it's worse here. Last news i got September 22, the shop where i ordered Baby Doll told me they had no news from their suppliers. Seems I'm not getting her ((

I will try this weekend, i kinda threw it in storage, becuase of my dissapointment. The engraving is good, but they take the black ink and spread it in the engraving and they dont do a good job. its shotty and applied bad. It starts off good from the hilt and as it gets to the middle of the blade the ink becomes lighter to non-existant.The Hilt and scabbard is very well done (superb), If I display mine, it will be with the scabbard on. Warning: the Blade comes fairly sharp, so it if it ever fell it would surely fvck something up. If you can score one for 160.00 or under its worth it. I would have paid 400.00 for a better quality blade, but it is what it is.

there are a few on youtube you can check out.

I just took a look at that and it's hard to determine if it's the official replica or a home made one. I found 2 videos and in the comments of one the guy says it's a decal, so at least that one's not the official sword.

Even so... Fro says the details not that great, and I wouldnt want one unless it was done near perfect.

You can grab great looking Katanas off ebay for half the price, thats the route im gonna go with.
