Pirate Sword

The finish is good, the blade is stainless as advertised, they could have put the "China" stamp on the backside, but, all is well, I'll hang it on my wall in the sheath.The frog that came with it was unexpectedly better quality than I thought it would be.Just for info, this is a prop, it's real metal, it'll last a lifetime, but it's not a real weapon. In a pinch, you could bludgeon someone with it in self defense, but this is not a fencing sword, but I believe the tang goes all the way through.By the way, It's not a mermaid, it's a Ship's Figurehead. The netting around her would be to catch falling sailors in the bow, she's sitting on the prow of a sailing vessel. Very nice, great for the amount asked.

I was unlucky enough to receive a sword with a prominent seam along the handguard which ruined the appearance of the sword from certain angles (I returned it and ordered a different sword from the same company), however: the sword itself was pretty high quality in terms of construction. Good weight and balance, sturdy construction, and would probably be fine to display if it could be hung with the seam facing away from the viewer (although that would also obscure the detailing of the handguard, which is less than ideal for display). As advertised, the blade was not sharpened, but the tip was a bit pointy and may need to be buffed down depending on the sword's intended use. All in all, despite the cosmetic defect, I'd call this a reasonably high-quality piece, especially for the price.(I would assume the seam was the kind of one-off issue that occurs in all factories from time to time, and only didn't reorder the same item because it was a gift for a preadolescent whose mother might not have thanked me for giving her child a sword featuring a stylized carving of a female who doesn't so much have a breast with a nipple as she has a very prominent udder, lol. That doesn't bug me personally, but mileage varies on these issues and it was much more obvious in person than it was from the pictures online. Under other circumstances, I would have been perfectly happy reordering the exact same item and been comfortable that the replacement wouldn't have the same flaw.)

I bought this swod for pirate costume, and it is amazing. I am fascinated with this purchase, it is very realistic, it has no dangerous edge, but it must be handled with care since it is rigid and the tip sharp. I recommanded the product, has not been disassembled at the moment. Greetings from Mexico city.

Want to feel like you can start to conquer the Seven Seas? Strap this on and plot your pillaging! Very solid and sturdy sword- a blunted edge, but certainly NOT a toy. And the way that it rings a solid “clink” when you slide it into the scabbard is very satisfying- you will want to draw it and house it over and over! Very impressed with the item, huge upgrade to my pirate costume. And you’ll feel like you could hack and slash your way through whatever life throws your way. (The scabbard top needed a few drops of super glue to secure, didn’t diminish from my satisfaction one bit)?

i got this sword for a rennasiance costume. first off great product for just a costume at the price however nothing more. even if you were to put an edge on the blade it is too heavy it has no distil taper so it feels very clunky in hand. not to mention drawing it out of the scabbard is hard and even putting it back in is even harder. mind you im a 6ft 200 fit male. for me its okay because i have no need to draw it. overall you get what you pay for

This thing is way cooler than I thought. The picture is accurate. It looks exactly like the pic, it's real, it's sharp, the details are cool. I cannot believe how cheap this was. At a knife show it would be 3x as much. I am very happy with it.

You never know when you might go looking for buried treasure on a ship of sea dogs, thieves, and drunken sailors. for that your gonna need a pirate sword. If you cant tell already I just bought this because I liked it, and I thought it would be a good prop for my pirate themed bathroom. As for quality it's not for the discerning collector, the handle is made from a combination of metal and plastic (a heavy grade plastic), its not balanced, but still light weight, it's built tough and holds together very strong...4 stars for being a great inexpensive beginners sword. -1 star for not being professional grade. I hope this helps you.it's a fun great piece for the price and an excellent beginners sword. I recommend buying the leather holster suggested by amazon and you are gonna need a belt to wear it. I think I might take mine to the Maryland Renaissance Festival in October. I'll see you there!!!

Product arrived looking nothing like the picture - completely different color (black, not brass) and hand-guard design (simple cross and not a basket). Also, the scabbard has no way to attach to a belt. Afterthought??Contacted seller immediately - they dragged their feet. Took days to respond and asked redundant questions to run the 'return timeout clock'. Do not deal with them!
