SAO Medium Carbon Steel with Sheath-Kirito Elucidator, Asuna, Kirigaya (Kirito Elucidator Version 2)

First of all, the shipping was incredible. I placed the order December 30th and received it this afternoon (1.4.16), I was really impressed with how quickly the sword came, when it was scheduled to arrive on the 11th or 12th. It was packaged very securely and safely, the box it came in wasn't damaged at all, which was very pleasing. Overall, Elucidator's beautiful! It's true to the anime, well balanced, and put together very well. There were a few scratches in the paint by the hilt from being in the sheath (I'm assuming), but it's nothing major. The only major complaint I have is that there's a fairly big crack in the side of the sheath. I'm not sure if the crack formed since the box was sitting outside my house in the cold this morning for a couple of hours or if something happened during manufacturing/shipping unrelated to the quality and security of the packaging itself. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this and I know my boyfriend is going to love it for our anniversary! (He's planning on getting me Lambent Light!) **Update: I contacted Top Swords about the damaged sheath about a day or so after it initially arrived and they promptly shipped out a new sheath that arrived within 2 days in perfect conditions and was also very securely packaged. Thank you Top Swords!

I was afraid this sword would be loose at the handle or jiggle like some reviews led me to believe. It is a nice and solid piece, though. The blade isn't really sharp, but definitely can be sharpened...just be careful not to scratch the black on the blade. It was a great price and I bought 2, both are good quality/the same. I ordered from the 1sword seller as they carry almost exclusively weaponry in their shop, and the boxes arrived fairly well packaged and intact. 10/10 this is going to be a great gift/wall princess

Very nice sword, I assume it to be partial tang based on my partner swinging it around. Similar to real blades it's slightly oiled up in the sheath. The sword itself is not sharp but is very pretty. All the paint was accurate, no mistakes or blemishes were seen.

I love this sword!!! It came with a few scratches here and there but in all was fantastic. The one thing is that the sheath didn't come with the two straps but instead a metal ring around it but, that just made it even more accurate to the one that is used in the show/anime (look up pictures if you don't believe it)!! The sword also felt well balanced and was not to heavy or light to hold. In all, it is an awesome sword and was even better than I had hoped for, and I would definitely buy from this company again.

I only rated this a 5 because I rounded up from 4.5, the reason being because I am a perfectionist and there was a couple of scratches, well, I wouldn’t call them scratches since they aren’t actually damaging to the blade, it’s just a rushed paint job that can be easily fixed, also the sheath has a minor defect, the little metal thing at the edge that avoids scratching at the wood was already very loose on it when it arrived, I don’t know if it was the manufacturer’s fault or if it was the doing of delivery, but a quick hot glue fix is the solution, also it’s fairly heavy, I’d say around 8 pounds which is a decent toll on the wrist, it’s perfect for a fan that wants it for decoration, and also for a diehard fan since I couldn’t find a better manufacturer than this one, it’s a fantastic product with extremely minor defects, but I don’t doubt the durability of the sword or the amount of effort that was placed into it because it is AMAZING for the price

There are only two words that can express this replica. Absolutely Phenomenal! I am impressed with the quality of the sword and how beautiful it looks. It's a hand and a half sword, un-sharpened but the tip does have a bit of a point to it. The leather wrapped handle is absolutely beautiful and the pommel is solid. The Guard does rattle a bit when the sword is smacked which means there is either a gap in the guard or the blade has a short tang. Also the sword is NOT made of high carbon steel, it is made of 440 stainless (says so on the sword). The scabbard is all wood and has a nice solid "click" when the sword is sheathed. Seeing as I wont be swinging this sword around and its just going to be hung on a wall, id say is an amazing buy for the price.

The sword is a very nice replica. The X on the handle was different from the picture and the sheath was different from the picture. However, they were better than they were in the picture! The sheath wasn't a rectangle like the picture it was actually sword shaped and came to a point which was very nice. Other than that it comes exactly as described. The sword is very sturdy it only wiggled when I was swinging it around and I was purposely swinging it around pretty hard to see if it wiggled. There was only a very slight wiggle while i was swinging so I was very satisfied. The shipping was also super fast i ordered it thursday night and it came in early tuesday morning! As far as free shipping goes thats pretty fast especially cuz i live in Alaska. The only bad thing I can say Is that the sword was a bit skuffed up from the shipping but that's normal and since the sword is black you can't even tell unless you get really close. This is a very well made replica and the most identical replica I could find. 5 stars!
