Great Price
"Looks wicked, and the price is a give away. Not sharp, yet fairly nicely done in workmanship. A steal of a buy."

"It's an unusually stable blade for a half-tang, but as a whole it feels unfinished. The wood handle is nice, but the blade needs a lot of work. There is an edge that can be sharpened with some effort, but as is don't expect it to cut anything. Mine came with two small chips off the edge, probably the result of hurried machining. Certainly worth $30, it's a nice piece, but be prepared to do a bit of refining."
"This sword is a falchion, a European knight's weapon of the middle ages. Though the curved blade resembles a scimitar, it is entirely of European origin. You can look up "falchion" and find English, Italian, and German examples now in museums. This example is very good, with a thick, straight blade (wavy blades are a pet peeve of mine with the less expensive swords - this one is perfect!)and an excellent grip. I am very glad I bought this."
