Beast of a Blade
This is a real Blade, I File tested it and it is Hardened properly It is Heavy and Thick, It Came already Quite Sharp You Could cut a tree down with this.
A Small tree would go down with one Swipe. I can't Understand why they would put such a Crappy Handle on a great blade When I got it, the Handle
was A bit Loose, It Wobbled a Little. I don't Know if I still Have it in me but To Replace the Handle would be a bit of a job.
This is a great Sword for Display, All in All I Love it. If Not for the Handle I would have given 5 Stars.

great sword
Sturdy and well made . I bought it to change it up some, polished half the blade for the 2 tone look I love. Cross guard and pommel are hollow (I knew this before buying), so I'm replacing them with solid blackened stainless. Great buy, highly recommend!

No better value for the money
I got my Spartan sword in yesterday and I absolutely love it. It is my first proper sword (I've only had wall-hangers in the past) and I can honestly say I am impressed. The blade is heavy and feels like it could do some real damage. It is comfortable to hold, either one or two handed, though the wrapping of the grip could be a bit better. I can't fault it for that at this price though. If you want an inexpensive sword that won't fall apart the moment you take it out of the box, you can't go wrong with this sword. Easily worth the money.

A fine sword
I bought this sword for use in role play. It is as advertised. I can't fault the blade at all. The finish is really nice, it looks like a rough grey forge finish. It has e beautiful ridge in the center. Quite solid! It's 1/4 inch thick and 1/2 thick at the ridge. It's not overly sharp, but that can be amended. As advertised, it has a full tang, but it also has a bolt welded on to the end so that the rear portion of the guard can screw on. My only real concern was that the guard was hollow. Each piece of the guard is made of two pieces of metal that snap together. As heavy as the blade is, this makes the sword very blade heavy. I took it as a challenge. I cut guards of the same shape as the originals, but slightly thicker, ground them to shape, gave them a basic finish, a solid edgbreak, and sandblasted them to to give them a flat grey matte finish. Then I drilled holes and milled out the spaces in between so that I had cut out a space in each guard for the tang to fit through. Then I hammered them on with metal shims to ensure a tight fit. I epoxied the wooden grip on with JB Weld and took off the fake leather wrap, replacing it with real leather. Again, I can't fault the blade, it seems to be the real McCoy. At worst, this sword was a very enjoyable project for those who want a sword "kit". And at best, it is a sturdy, well made replica. Would totally recommend.

Nice!
Just received this sword. Massive 1/4" thk blade 25" long. Has a 1/8" rib running down each side, which is where they get the 1/2" from. Weighs 4 lbs (for comparison, my Katana weighs 2.5 lbs), with most of the weight being at the end of the blade of course. It's like a long axe. Mine had a little handle wobble, as the pommel is held on with a nut. Mostly full tang, except at the end where there's threaded rod for the nut. I just popped the pommel end cover off and tightened the nut and now it's solid. The wrap needs to be replaced for sure. It's 'sharp', but because it's so thick it's more like an axe-kinda sharp instead of sword. The handle is big enough to get another hand on it to assist, if needed, in a big swing. It's more like wielding an axe or bat than a sword, but if the zombies attack I think this would be the sword for the job. Looks good on the wall too :-)

Great Exercise
no, seriously, it is... I bought one a couple years ago... I swing it around a lot, I bash it into a post a lot... (replaced the handle a long time ago by wrappign the full tang with chord, ductape, chord, ductape, chord and then medical tape... it's crude, but the tang is more than long enough to be the handle)
suffice to say it does build your bicep, shoulder, and chest muscles. It doesn't build bulky muscle, but rather leaner muscle... I do recommend getting a large, heavy shield for your left, else you'll find one arm bigger than the other.

GREAT DEAL
Let's get the bad out of the way: The handle is horrible. If you plan to do more than hang on wall, you will need to reinforce, retighten, and wrap with your own leather. But the GOOD: The blade is magnificent. WELL worth the money even considering handle. One trip to the local sharpening/fabrication shop and I have a fully functional sharp, heavy blade that, in the words of the shop owner, "was worth alot more than $29". For those complaining about weight...hit the gym. These weapons weren't made for pansies. A great buy I will play with, get workout out of, and admire on display. O, and for those that want to maintain the worn look of the blade...phosphoric acid works great...

Awesome
Got mine in today. Fast shipping and excellent service. The sword is thick and heavy and came out of the box sharp. This thing is so much better than advertised. I can't believe it was so cheap honestly. Absolutely love this sword
