Great craftsmanship. It's beautiful and plain! Just what I like! My issue is the grove around it.. Those cutouts for the ovals leave 90 degree angles.. that are sharp. And when your hand is holding this area and you do a twirl? You can guess what happens. Is this an integral, permanent part to my saber? Yes. Is it comfortable to use? No: but that's the fun of it. IF they rounded the edges of those corners and made it less bitey.. This would be 5 star!
