Little disappointed, to tell you the truth. Should be 2 1/2 stars.
The online picture shows a shield with a squared off tip at the bottom. However, mine comes to a very sharp point at the bottom, which poses a danger in stage combat. I’ll need to blunt it.
Also, while front on the shield looks smooth enough, the back shows a bunch of crude welds.
Finally, there’s the deeply grooved handle. Since I will be wearing a glove, that should reduce any hot spots.
