Legends in Steel Hand-And-A-Half Sword

Very surprised and happy. Decided to purchase my first sword and this one seemed to be one I could have fun with but not break the bank. My sword arrived sooner than expected so I like that. My sword has no rattling as of yet (I've not struck anything with it yet) the cross guard is firmly in place as well as the pomel. The blade is indeed not sharpened and that's fine with me. The grip seems fine to me. The blade and cross guard have some slight blemishes but nothing a dremel and some polishing can't handle. It's not a Albion but it's not really a flea market sword neither. For $72 shipped you can't beat it.

All in all, for the price, it is good. However, you would need to put in some work. The sword isn't sharp(Legally not allowed to ship sharp swords), the guard was not smoothed out(had some sharp edges), and my tip was damaged during shipping. With that being said, it is still a great value, other sites would sell you a full tang, battle ready sword for roughly $200 starting.

It is not sharp at all, a butter knife is sharper. That being said. If you dont mind sharpening it your self it is a amazing sword. I would say it is the same quality as deepeeka but much cheaper. Well worth the money.

Although there is literally no edge on it when it comes out of the box, it is an amazing sword. I sharpened it up and it holds it's edge well. It has some cosmetic imperfections, but that gives it character. Keep a rag with you when you open it. it comes covered in oil. Would totally recommend other than that.

As an expert blacksmith myself, I can see this blade has been hand-forged and well-built. I've been a blacksmith for three years now, and I've seen a lot of different quality swords, and this one is about medium class. If you know how, you can engrave it and design the hilt, pommel, or blade yourself. It didn't come sharpened, but by law, they can't. And I can confirm it's high carbon steel and it's perfectly tempered. You can bend the blade and have it return back to normal. You can take it up against rope, wood, whatever, and the edge will remain true. If you're looking for a sword to roleplay with, or carry, or whatever, this is your blade. You can buy a $100 sword, but it'd be the same as this one. So trust me, if you want a good sword on a budget, this is your final search.

I recently got this sword as a gift and im really impressed on how it came out, whoever made this knows there stuff when it come to blacksmithing.

Not a bad looking sword. Actually it's kinda old looking which is good. It's not sharp like they claimed. Well oiled so have a rag handy when You unwrap it.I used some orange cleaner on the handle . All &all it's worth the money

Very good sword. Impressed, but no scabbard. But of a problem for me, so I made one from leather. As others have commented, not sharpened at all. About ten minutes at the bench grinder fixed that though. Now, it's sharp enough to cut decent sized bottles. Not really a huge fan of European blades (I do kenjutsu, not HEMA, so I know much more the katana or other Japanese blades) but a good buy for someone who enjoys this style of sword, but can't afford to spend a lot on a high end Albion or Arms and Armor reproduction.

Ordered it during one of the site's free shipping sales and was delighted to receive the sword just a few days later. Wasn't damaged and looks great. Edge is not sharpened, but I imagine with the proper know-how one could sharpen it. Also, mine came with a comfortable leather-like grip. something I hoped for given the pictures but wasn't sure the sword had. All and all, I give it four and half stars (because it wasn't quite sharpened as advertised) But I'll just round up to five, because I really do love it.

A friend and I both ordered one of these swords. It took slightly longer than usual to ship and when they came in they were bent, but only slightly. They are gorgeous but the tip of the blade is the only part that's sharp at all. Not that big of a deal given the price!

It's a great solid sword it's perfect other than mine came with two places on the blade that look like someone smacked them with a hammer and now the cutting edge is dented

It would get Five stars if it weren't for the edm wire mark in the hand guard other than that and some left over glue that can be removed and no sheath the sword came to me beautiful, well balanced and fairly sharp and that was a surprise to how it was shipped, really, bottom of the box and all the packing on one side- one well placed hit on the bottom could cause damage but that is budk's shipping fault but all in all it is well worth the 59.00 I paid for it I actually give it 4 and one half stars

This sword is completely functional with a peened handle and a wide tang. The tempered blade is blunted and would require a fair amount of skill to properly sharpen it. The sword is a bit blade heavy but not to the point where it unwieldy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that would like a cheap beater euro sword possibly even for stage combat. Note; this sword does not come with a scabbard
