This sword suprasses the design specifications of the issue-style swords. WKC uses a certified gold plating finish on the guard and scabbard fittings instead of the issue sword's lacquer finish. The blade etch has superb detail and also provides a space for a personalized etch. These features along with WKC's excellent craftsmanship make this sword worthy of the Premium title.
