I'm going to go ahead and write my review, and post pics later when I can get someone to help me.
Swordwares.com is a wonderful company, and extremely helpful to customers. Before I came along, they'd had only one mistake in processing an order in 30 years. XD Just call me "the Pariah of Bellydance." I guess I'm the poster child for things that can go wrong. I had trouble with my PayPal account, causing my voucher to be voided, but Majidah was wonderful in helping me get my order processed.
About three or four days later, I received---a beautiful broadsword. It was a well-made, straight double-edged sword, well-packed and well-oiled, with a lovely sheath, but it wasn't the beautiful Cas Hanwei I'd ordered. I felt more like She-Ra than Shira! I immediately contacted Swordwares.com and informed them about the mistake. The gentleman who helped me, Matthew, was understanding and wonderful, and helped me to ship the wrong sword back at no cost to me, and when it took a bit too long for me to receive the right sword, he got on it right away.
Things can go wrong in just about anything, but I appreciate the prompt and friendly help from Majidah and Matthew. So if there is a rare goof-up in ordering, you can be assured they'll do all they can to help.
Now, for the sword itself! As with the broadsword, the Cas Hanwei was securely protected and packed, and the blade was well-oiled, and just like Aziyade's sword (and I'm sure ErikaOH's), it was straight with no bends or damage. It balances beautifully, although I had trouble at first balancing it on one finger (I used the wrong side of my finger, so the sword felt extremely heavy ). My teacher unknowingly showed me how to balance a sword on one finger.
I have a LOT to learn about swords...
