When shopping for a birthday present for my boyfriend, I stumbled upon this and thought it would be perfect. He is a Halo freak and even designed a tattoo involving this sword. I knew I had to get it. The reviews scared me becuase I was expecting a piece of junk, but it came out so much better than that. Yes, the black handle is plastic(but not hollow, cheapy plastic), and yes the metal is thin and came a little bent (very easy to bend back though, and yes, the box came a little marred, but he loves it anyway. The five star rating is his rating and he ran to his office and immediately put it on his wall. The next week he spent showing it off to people who came in. He told one of his best friends back home about it and his friend told him to marry me. For the Halo nerd, the small things don't seem to matter. If you know a Halo nerd, this is the perfect gift.

This isn't a toy that you can lock your doors and play with in private. It comes with a wall mount for a reason... it's just for looks. No running and upward thrusting with this thing. It's a very thin sword, and doesn't weigh more than a couple pounds, your enemies would probably die of laughter before you could kill them with this, but it does look freaking cool on my wall. I took one star off because, I was expecting to have a heavier, thicker bladed sword, not wall candy. (It does make excellent wall candy though!)

The picture looks sweet an all but I'm a photog and I know they altered the lighting angle on the picture to make it look like it's "white sheen".
But it's not. It's seriously "rainbow metallic" with slight white glinting off the blades. I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND making the sword truly white, with a small amount of rainbow sheen to it's reflection.
Other than that it's actually REALLY sweet. But good luck going to bars or clubs on Halloween with it; it is made of metal (supposedly titanium, could be titanium plated at least) and can EASILY penetrate flesh. IT IS A METAL BLADE. But it looks sweet enough.

What you see is what you get: a 'covenant energy sword's as big as your arm.
The blade is beautiful. My qualms are with clearly subpar manufacturing: the blade tines were bent and not symmetric.
Still, a great gift for your wall or desk! Confuse your foes and impress your friends.

I feel that this sword is cooler then it described. I thought it was a plastic replica, but i turned out to be all metal and totally bad-ass.

my ex bought this for our son for xmas. As a major 12yr old Halo fan he is thrilled with it! Nice looking thing but seriously cheap plastic handle, bent and wobbly blades and the worst wall plaque to hang it on I ever have seen (brown wooden circle that wasn't even a true circle). It IS COOL to look at though I'm making something else to hang it from.

The Halo energy sword is exactly as described. I am very happy with this product. The transaction was very smooth, with very fast shipping and good packaging.

My 11 year old son wanted this halo sword and so we ordered it and I was a little shocked when we got it. It is definitely a real sword. It is EXTREMELY sharp and dangerous for children. Now I know why it wasn't sold in stores. My son loves it still, because it is great quality. We had to put duct tape all along the sharp edges and thank goodness they already had the points at the ends covered with very sturdy plastic that we left on. Not something for the kids to play with at all. Nice to display though. Beautiful sword with all the different colors. Hope this helps!!

This item is as described in the reviews it is cheap and cheaply made. The package came looking like a truck had runover it and the wooden plaque designed to hang the sword from was damged "looked like someone smashed it with a hammer". The sword itself looks cheap and flimsy, and the blades were bent in opposite directions so that when hung up on the wall one bends towards the wall and one sticks out towards the front. This was supposed to be a Valentines gift for my husband who is a Halo fan, i bought it to hang in his Game room. I knew it wasn't meant for real sword play but i still expected decent packaging, and a well made and visually pleasing specimen. I got neither of these. I managed to bend the blades back so that they are even and symetrical but the wooden wall hanger is damaged beyond fix. I didnt want to mess with sending it back because it was a gift, the disapointment was non-fixable when my hubby opened the package and saw it all messed up. Don't buy from this company this product is cheap and shipped cheap.

EDIT:as of 3-2-10 i still haven't heard back from the company regarding my email i sent about the above described problems. Don't waste your time on this company!!

I love the colors and the attention to detail. I knew that the handle was going to be plastic, but I didn't expect that crap, a little more work on that would have been nice. Also, the blades were way out of alignment. Boo-Hiss. Not entirely pleased!
