Bought this since I couldn't use a real metal replica sword since it was an outdoor event and it would have been illegal to carry a fake metal sword. The sword itself looked 'ok' for a cheap plastic sword, but the scabbard looked really lame - it didn't look rustic at all so if you're not going to carry the sword the whole time, then you'll have to paint the scabbard.  If the scabbard looked a bit more rustic and "piratey" I'd rate it a 4.
