4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality starter swords, April 21, 2009

These swords are very good/practical starter swords. The shipping was fast and arrived at my front door withing 36 hours of me placing the order.

The Sheath
The sheath is pretty much completely useless and seems very much like an afterthought. It is made of very poor quality nylon and at the bottom of where the swords cross, ripped immediately. However, I had no intention of using the sheath it came with. For about $10.00 I made my own sheath with fabric/products purchased from Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby. I strongly recommend doing this as well if you want to carry them in a sheath. Also, it is pretty much impossible to return the sword to the sheath it came with after you have drawn it. It takes about 2-3 minutes and gets caught a lot along the way down. You almost have to take off the sheath to put the sword back in it. The straps are also too long and the swords hang down the middle of your back making it hard to reach quickly. All of this can be taken care of with a better home made sheath. With a proper sheath, these swords are amazing.
-- Also, with a home made sheath, these swords can be very very concealable under a coat.

The Swords
The swords were delivered very dull. I had to purchase a sharpening kit, and after sharpening, these swords are amazingly sharp. The metal is very very high quality and remains sharp long after sharpening even with using it every day like I do. I use them to cut branches and bush in my path in the woods and they work phenomenal. It seems I use very little effort to cut branches a half an inch thick. They aren't very easy to sharpen however. It takes some work but is well worth it. These swords are the real deal. I don't know that I would purchase them just to have to show because it would not do them justice. These swords are to be used in the field. Whether self defense or for clearing brush. I have dropped them plenty of times on concrete and they remain in the same condition as they arrived. They are not scratch proof by any means but I have none so far.

The Grip
The grip is very comfortable but I wish the length of the handle was a bit longer as it's difficult to comfortably handle with two hands. The handle is wrapped tightly but I would suggest that you keep a bottle of super glue around because after a decent amount of use it will naturally start to unravel slightly.

Conclusion
Even with a poorly made sheath, these swords are a no-brainer for someone starting out training with swords, or an expert. Especially with the amazingly low price. I would strongly recommend that if you are looking for a pair of twin swords of good quality and a low price that you pick these up.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not battle ready, but is still great., May 31, 2010

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Strike Force Ninja Twin Sword Set (Misc.)

First of all if you are looking for a sword to take into battle I do not recommend this. However it could be used in a pinch. These swords were delivered very dull so if you want to use it as a machete or an awesome sword I suggest taking it somewhere to be sharpened or do it yourself. I am twelve and was looking for a practical, awesome and fun sword and I found this. It turned out great. However unless you are planning to make a sheath do not get this. The sheath is as cheap as cheap can get and rips almost immediately. Perhaps making a sheath out of old fire hose would work. Also the product description says that the blade is 18" and the handle is 7 1/2" an overall length of 25 1/2". However when I measured it, it turned out to be that the blade was 19 5/8" and the handle 6 7/8" making the overall length 26 3/4". However it still is great. It is inexpensive but is not poor quality. It could cut branches an inch thick at the most. I still think it was worth buying. I hope this review was helpful.

My grandson loves these. They have an authentic heft to them. Do not recommend for kids who are not responsible, as they could do serious damage if used by kds with no limits.
