I have recently broken my Excalibur saber that i have had for 13 months, and although it suffers many drops because i am a beginner, i was very dissapointed at its short life span. I am looking to purchase a King Saber. I have seen from much research that these are more quality products that will last a life time. If any one has a king saber, preferably 36 inches, please let me know!! thanks! -Ivey
