Sword looks awesome! very heavy and cool. Blade is strong but not sharp..for collector purposes. handle and point where blade connects to hilt is very shaky but can be fixed quickly. Overall sword and scabbard are very realistic and cool looking.

I bought this and another sword for a film I was shooting. It wasn't used for sword play, but the character who wore it had to take it out of his belt and place it on a table about 30 times (during rehearsal and for multiple takes), and it was transported with the tripods and C-stands instead of with the more delicate furnishings and props. The leather covering on the grip came loose by the end of the first day and had to be glued back to the handle, and the handle is now very loosely attached to the blade, which is why I cannot give the item 5 stars. It is, however, a handsome and wholly believable weapon to look at, and it is being sold on Amazon at a bargain price. I know, because I checked all the usual medieval-faire-vendors' sites first. I got the use I wanted from it, and will be happy henceforth to hang it on my wall.

The markings on the blade were smeared from some sticky junk they had in the sword casing. took a while to get out of the casing because of this sticky junk all over the blade. took a good 30 minutes to wipe down and had to scrub off the markings because they look ridiculous smeared. otherwise it is a very believable sword...just poor packaging i guess.
