    I own this sword for several years and in general I like it very much. Although it does not have a distal taper, it is still well balanced. With a weight of approx. 1.3kg it is a very fast sword that is easy to handel. The sword is very sharp, the handle is comfortable and fits well in the hand. It behaves well in cutting tests. However, the leather of the grip and the scabbard is very thin and damage after some time, here there is room for some improvement. Another (small) problem is that the pommel is screwed and not pinned. The advantage is that you can disassemble this sword into its individual parts, which simplifies maintenance. The disadvantage is that the pommel nut loosens after some time due to vibrations. This causes the crossguard to start to wobble. However, this problem can be solved with a drop of screw lock without much effort. From a scale of 1-10, I would give this sword a solid 7. It‘s a quite fair price/performance ratio. The Crossguard could also be a little bigger, but that's a matter of taste.

    I've been a Cold Steel fan since the late 80's when bought a tanto, urban skinner and a shinobu tanto. Those 3 knives were stolen but I have since built a sizable collection. Love these blades

      Cold is steel is a good entry level brand, but their swords have quality problems

      These are made in India out of the finest old car bumpers and lamps you can find. They possess little lineage to the old Cold Steel of the 80’s & 90’s which produced at least decent knives.

      @John Jacob That's not the problem. The problem is that they use garbage steel to make their blades. I pay no attention to the troons as they are irrelevant (clearly not to you, though. ya friggin horndog)

    I used to possess the 88HNH ( Hand and a Half Sword ), It's a really good blade for the money if you get it from other sources like Kult of Athena or any other Cold Steel dealer.
    The stabby part stabs, the cutting parts cut, the scabbard is adequate, sword ran fine on a 45 degree angle hang from the web gear. The only issue it had was that it's construction wasn't exactly completed, the blade was mounted onto a thread and nut construction on the pommel, and the torque going through the sword into the tang eventually stripped the threads and made the pommel free swivel a full 360 degrees. The nut did it's job in keeping the pommel from free flying off the blade, but eventually I had to take the pommel apart, paint the threaded tang section with a heavy coat of loc-tite, reassemble and let cure for 24 hours. After that, the sword ran fine again with no new signs of malfunction. I'd give it an 8/10, decent buy.

      As for how my sword went missing, I had left it as a keepsake for my father when I left the state. He had went to settle some errands and business for a few days, and during that time frame some family visited the household and had taken it as well an old Browning Auto 5 12 gauge shotgun.
