that is really awesome, I can't tell, so I'm assuming it's a red?

how careless of me, it is a red sword, yes. both sides of the blade are legal, and there are no staby tips

i thank you, the only complaint i have is the fabric i used for the cover, while being a realistic blade color, is very pron to fraying. i do not expect it to last much past gates.. sad day. lol

I'm having that same problem. I'm going to need a new cover for my red almost asap. It's only seen one practice so far and already it's tearing. I'm sad about it, too, because it looked so nice. ;.; We need to find a more durable fabric of the same colour.

and the weird thing is that the fabric isn't that thin. i bought it with the intent to beat up senseless, and on the roll it wasn't fraying, only after i cut it did i start to have problems, im definitely gonna have to find another metallic cover for it. it looks so shiny!

I actually might know a way to fix this, now that I think about it. We'd just have to fold over the edge and sew it with a machine before we hand-stitched it on to the cover. ... I might try this and see if it works. If it does, I'll let you know.

If it's fraying where there's no edge, probably need new fabric, but a beautiful sword indeed sir.

You may be pulling hte fabric to tight. some fabric, though it looks good, isn't condusive to tight stretching.

my step by step...steps. lol

very true, but this fabric just isn't good for covers, i've already seen another sword cover with the same fabric tear. it looks amazing and i will coddle it until it tears, then i will replace it with a much better cover and fight like crazy with it
