Middle Ages Medieval Broad Sword And Matching Faux Brown Wood Scabbard With Faux Leather Wrapping - 17" stainless steel blade

I got the sword and despite the size it is pretty. Except the damaged hilt I got. The cross on one said has been hammered in too far and is bent and sideways. There are hammer dents and scratches all around it. Makes the looks go way down. Disapointed me

At first I was very disappointed with the size. When they said broad sword that's what I thought I was getting. But that is my own fault for not reading the description carefully. In spite of its size it is a very well built sword.I am very proud to have it in my collection

this sword was a lot smaller than what i had pictured but it has a great feel to it. When i had a friend come over, he said it looked like a hobbit sword. definitely for display.

I blame myself for this one, I did not check the size of the sword and when it arrived, it was about the length of my forearm. Good sword overall, though it is really more like a long dagger.

is is sharp but not to sharp for battle reenactments it is well made

I got this for Christmas a few years ago and was disappointed by the size and though it's the right size for mybrother, it's much to small for me. However if you plan on hanging it on the wall it's good.

A wonderful product as usual from BUDK!!! I use this as a ceremonial sword but it is sharp and very functional, too!

it was a nice sword but i notised there was no edge on it. so after sharpening it, i pulled out some old water bottles to cut up. on the first swing the blade broke off and flew twelve feet to my right. inside the handle the blade is welded to a tiny medal pole about 1/4 in. So as a combat sword... not worth the $$. but if your just buying for looks, its a good buy.

Okay, I did make the mistake of letting my friends ruin it. But then,one of the friends that did ruin it helped me fix it. There is a hexagon shaped hole on the end of the pommel. It is an Allen's screw. To fix it if it is wobbly like mine was, you put an Allen's wrench in it and twist it to the right. It will then be tightened if it is wobbly. Mine is tightened, but it still has the chipped edge. If I find out how to fix THAT, I'll post it. Anyway, it is a GREAT sword.

I loved this sword when I got it. It is good for a short sword. But then, I made the mistake of letting my friends playing with it and my Robin Hood dagger. They chipped the blades and the short sword is all wobbly and looks like it's going to fall apart. I'd recommend buying this sword, but if you get it, NEVER let ANYONE mess with it.

Its looks great & very impressive small decorative sword. Very pleased to hang with my collection. I enjoy having & looking at it.

lil better than i was expecting so i am very happy with the sword every thing ive purchased from budk is exceptional value thank you people at budk

well i usually read the descriptions better but when i saw it said "Giant" i thought it would at least be the normal size of a broad sword. but other than the misunderstanding, it is a small blade with a slight edge. the handle comes loose a bit if you handle it enough but it hasnt fallen apart on me. it does seem to have a spot to tighten it back. my sister is going to use it for a Renaissance festival so it worked out in the end

this sword is epic, it is sharp, full-tang and stable! could kill a man in one blow (not that i would)

this sword is awesome in my opinion, it is stainless steal that is relatively tough, and its just sharp enough to cause some havoc with a strong blow :)

A highly detailed and well put together "short" sword. Doesn't come sharp as stated by previous reviewers. Looks great on display, I thought that it was a 1/2 scale model of the originals when I first unpacked it.

Well for 25 bucks it isnt bad, my wife likes Medieval type weapons so as long as she is happy then all is good. For me I was a tad disapointed in the blade.

1 there is a tacky made in china along the blade.
2 composite = cheap wood grained plastic.
3 the size of the item. Some how I was expecting something larger.

All in all you get what you pay for and my wife is happy so I guess your still in good graces with me.

Awesome sword..I just got it a few days ago and its all fine, except the handle is a little loose..very nice sheath and the strap is good for attaching it to a belt or peg on the wall for show - not very sharp though. All in all, a good sword.

This is very nice for the money. The blade is nicely ground but doesn't come sharp, which is fine for me. The castings are detailed and nicely finished. The handle and sheath appear to be plastic but do a nice job of imitating burl and seem durable enough. The thong appears to be genuine suede and is attached with adhesive--works well for hanging from a belt. Fits in the sheath snugly, and doesn't fall out. It is really excellent for ceremonial or ornamental purposes.
