Spiked Sword Of The Highlands And Display Plaque - Stainless Steel Blade, Faux Leather Wrap, Metal Alloy Handle - Length 49 1/2”

I have one of the old swords that was sold around 15 years ago. It was before Marto started making their licensed version and it was the only one available. This sword is totally superior to the one I have from years ago. It looks like the sword in the movie whereas my other one only looks 'close'. I'm sure the Marto version is nicer, but it is also 10 times the price (or more now that it's out of production). I did have an officially licenses MacCleod claymore from the first movie and a knock off replica. Again the Marto version was nicer, but to be honest, hanging on a wall I doubt most people would know the difference and I am going to say that's the same with this sword. The only minor thing is the display plaque isn't drilled out for the sword hanging hardware, but that is really minor and I haven't decided if I want to use the wood plaque anyway. For those that are curious, no the blade catcher 'spikes' don't pop out on their own like in the movie, but again when displayed that really doesn't matter. Plus the spring loaded spikes on the older inaccurate one I have are flimsy and don't look like the movie (they don't fold against the blade, they fold into the cross guard) All in all I recommend this sword, it is very nice and a great addition to any Highlander sword collection display.

It’s just a plain work of art! Nuff said!
