Great Quality and Customer Service
The Rudis is quickly becoming the standard going away gift in my office. Great quality, quick/thorough customer service response times, and speedy delivery made for a great experience. It'd be nice if shipping was a little bit cheaper, but once you see the quality, you feel it was worth it.

Awesome customer service
They always get it done quickly and help us out with anything we need. I order swords from them every month and have never had an issue. They bend over backwards to make them look awesome.
