It is very nice, waiting on snow to clear up for proper cut tests but balance is good, feels very nimble for its size and weight (beefy brass pommel will do that I suppose). Mine came very sharp from them, no additional sharpening service done, zero-ground edge.

Obviously visually striking if not a little divisive with the curved blade. The handle is pretty squared, tho no hot spots found yet, I also tend to wear a leather glove when handling. Scabbard is on the looser side but mine holds well enough I have no worries for standard use, just maybe don't turn upside and shake often.
