The full length is measured. Maximum diameter of the tsuba is 9cm. There are differences in this and the one passed down to me for certain, but this is one that also can be proudly handed down.

Can it have been better? Yes. Not a bad sword given at it's price point. The blade wasn't evenly as sharp or polished as I would like it to be and had a few high spots, but after sharpening/honing and polishing I was able to get it to the sharpness I wanted. The scabbard came loose after 2-3 times pulling the blade out and leaves wood chips behind. I would have to clean the blade every pull, but is becoming less of a clean up after a while. TTRPGI haven’t taken the handle off yet but have heard that they drilled through the handle and tang at same time (not great) leaving metal flash and creating almost a rivet effect making it difficult to remove the handle for replacing. Since all my hardware/wrap came SUPER tight I’ve decided to leave the handle on until I have a real reason to remove it.
