I have been researching Latex/ Manufactured LARP weapons for a few years now because the LARP I play (KANAR) has pretty strict standards for using such weapons. I took it to my first event last weekend & it went over pretty well. The blade got passed by the marshalling staff with the stipulation that if they got complaints I would have to remove it from play. I got in several fights, some of which were against members of the staff, & got only one complaint & that was my bad.
This blade has a good weight to it, looks nice & has both a good thrusting tip & decently soft pommel which is difficult to find on the web. My only concern is that the blade seems a little whippy.
Also, I would like to know what kind of paint I should use to detail the weapon. I did not see any paints for sale on the site & the ninja comes unpainted.
I would have to say this sword is a solid 9 out of 10 in both quality & value.
