Deluxe Zelda Master Sword And Scabbard - 1070 High Carbon Steel Blade, Leather-Wrapped Handle, Brass Handguard

This actually handles better than I expected, as mentioned it is Much darker than in the advertised pictures. I plan on polishing the brass up to be shiny but overall a good product

My roommates bought me this from Christmas and I am overjoyed with it. The craftsmanship of the sword is top teir and feels great to hold. It does come with an edge on the blade so it is actually functional, not that you would need to use it, but that's a nice addition then it being strictly decorative. The handle and gaurd are the heaviest part of the sword by far. It's all full cast brass not hollowed and feels amazing to hold in your hand. The bronze finish is a little darker than advertised, but doesn't take away from the overall look of the sword. The only thing I wish it did have is the iconic triforce etched into the groove of the blade like the games sword does, but I'm sure there's legal reasons for that. The sheath is made from real wood with a blue leather wrap on it. Holds the blade in nice and snug and still pulls out with ease. The white decals are made of leather also and tightly glued and sewed to the sheath. Overall a great sword and worth the money for a beautiful addition or starter piece to your zelda collection.
Response: Thank you for your review. We wanted to let you know the guard and pommel are made of genuine brass, not bronze. It is darker because it has tarnished. You can restore it to a brilliant brass color with a polish, or leave it tarnished for a more battle worn look.
