Scratch and Dent Euro #9

I was shocked when this sword came in. I cannot find a single blemish on it anywhere. Not on the scabbard, blade, guard, pommel, etc... Apart from a slight curve (roughly 1/2 inch) from hilt to tip toward one side, I cant find anything wrong with it. No twist to the blade, no major warping, no rust, no chips or deep scratches, everything is tight. Just fantastic. I am going to have to order a regular priced sword one of these days to see just how detailed the quality control must be if what I got was considered scratch and dent. Amazing.

This is my third European sword and my first Arming Sword. It's unique in my collection, being my only double edge, single hand sword. It took me a little longer than usual to get the hang of it but once I did my confidence with it grew pretty fast. I'm really enjoying it and how different it feels compared to my Japanese swords. I got the S&D version but there's nothing I can find on the sword that would upset me on a full price sword. I've bought quite a few Scratch and Dent swords from Ronin Katana and the value for the money is unbelievable.
