I love this necklace! It's just really unique and fun. The sword actually comes out of the sheath (as you can tell by the photos). It even came in a little draw string pouch. The only little problem with the one I received is the little Rhinestone on the front is glued on totally crooked... Although I plan to just pluck it off and re-glue it centered. This may not bother some people, but I'm a bit picky :)
