I wonder how much that would go for if he sold it. The ones I see on ebay and etsy aren't that expensive but obviously not as well done as that one. That one the blade looks too thin to me when they are swinging it around. Looks like the blade would snap off/break really easy.
That said, I wouldn't say no to someone giving it to me.
i love the word choice you have in the title of the thread: "functional" its either functional as a sword...meaning it cuts things...or its functional as a master sword...meaning it can send me back in time.
