Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This sword is light, slender, and agile. Such a sweet piece of weaponry. This is still a cold steel sword, it still has its functionality.

The blade is frightenly sharp, i strongly recommend not using the finger test of sharpness. It's crazy sharp for a blade this long. Great for practicing historical combat techniques. This is an exquisite blade for a swords man who favors the stabbing ... Read More

Both the longsword and dagger are excellent weapons, though the dagger is more akin to a short sword. The 9 handle on this sword is fairly common and i have used the 9 hilt on my training sword for one and two handed grips, blocking with the hilt and ... Read More

I don't know anything about swordplay but for a display piece, it's very impressive. The craftsmanship is excellent no issues found on my sword. Comes with a wood lined leather sheath that seems well made.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

Seems built pretty well, sturdy, pretty flexible so the blades not likely to break.

The sword itself is well made and appears solid.

The leather covering the grip has a small seam that is uncomfortable after a lot of practice strikes without gloves.

It's impossible to bend the blade out of alignment on account of being made of one piece of good spring steel.

Price

I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to buy a very fine long sword at at an a... Read More

It's an excellent sword for the cost.

I purchased it for nearly two hundred dollars less than cold steel was asking on thier site.

For the money, i'd say buy it if you're on the fence.

Shipping

I received my sword a couple days ago and i am absolutely pleased with my order.

I could see marks where he blade cut through something before shipped to me.

It arrived very quickly, but the box it came in looked like the postman had kicked it from his truck to my door.

Packaging/appearance

Not happy with the p*ss poor packaging as fulfilled by amazon.

It came in a flimsy box that wasn't even remotely sealed.

The packaging and the sword are unmarked as to country of origin.

My packageing was perfect, there is not a blemish to be seen anywhere on the blade.

Competitiveness

I returned a different sword that wasn't sharp by another brand.

I also have a cold steel hand-and-a-half sword and comparing the two, the italian sword just looks more refined.

I don't think you'll find any better sword for the money--a great value.
