Custom Hand Forged Damascus Steel Swiss Dagger Sword Viking Gladius Double Edge Sword Gladiator Blood Grooved Sword

Just as it was described. It was sharp and balanced. Really nice cowhide leather sheath With a snap to hold sword in place and two wearing type features: over the head and shoulder or from the belt. Be careful on pull from back to not cut your ear off. LoL. It made easy work of a 1/2” to I” limb on tree in yard! It has a good wooden lathed handle. And the Damascus steel looks fantastic with the double edge and blood groove. It was sealed tight in cellophane and tape when it arrived. I would say it is of great quality and good value. I wish I had two to crisscross on my back; then maybe would lose both ears! Ha!

While the price made the claim that it was real forge welded aka Damascus steel. Close examination shows that it is damascus steel. The weight is also substantially heavier than a basic wall hanger as well. This baby is stout. The fullers are ground in instead of forged and a slight imperfection is a pretty good indication that they were hand ground. The balance is a bit blade heavy, but as Doug Marcaido from "Forged in Fire" would say "It will Keelll". I do custom leatherwork including my own sword sheaths, so I'll replace the generic on that came with it, but the sheath is perfectly fine. If I had known it was at the post office on time, I would've taken it to an SCA event this past weekend.

It's not as sharp as a kitchen knife, but it is much sharper than the stainless blades you see around. It appears to be hand made - the blood grooves, for example, are not quite straight or parallel, but that just adds to the charm. With a 17" blade it is a two or three inches too short to br a Gladius type sword. Mine has a small incursion (1/8") next to one of the blood grooves - no big deal, again, it is hand made. The pattern welding makes it quite pretty. Fine as a wall hanger, the high carbon steels make it pretty sharp, but I don't know if the toughness would be enough for actual combat. Maybe it would be ok.

I got this for my husband and he loves it. It's well made and the hilt isn't loose like alot of the swords you find it shops. Good quality and definitely recommend for anyone looking!

Way cooler than I expected. Totally solid build. Killer sheath. Pretty sharp too

This is a great piece for the $$. And it is built solid and meets the specs given.Cons, it's not finished with a lot of care (lots of sharp corners and "hot points"), and the handle is a little boring in person so I've began carving my own look into it.All around a B+ for honesty and integrity.

This thing is ridiculous! Perfectly weighted, very balanced, very sharp blade and wonderful craftsmanship. I got this as a one off for a costume but now I'm thinking of becoming a collector! Wonderful product!

I got it for my husband for Christmas and I couldn’t wait to give it to him. He LOVES it. It’s so nicely made and real leather it’s honestly the best gift. And it’s sharp! Beautiful look to it as well! So happy and money well spent thank you so much! ❤️
