SW-149, Handmade Damascus Steel 25 Inches Sword Walnut Wood & Colored Bone Handle with Damascus Steel Guard

This is very beautiful well hand forged blade. The Damascus is real as could be and you can tell it’s hand forged because with mine, if I look down the blade, it’s a lil uneven, but otherwise this blade cuts! Like very well. The handle is well built and beautifully polished. The blade arrives fully oiled I guess you could say. It helps preserve the blade. I made the mistake of touching the blade which now I must use oil to clean the blade here and there. Damascus takes a lil bit to maintain and keep clean but well worth it. In my opinion, it feels very well balanced. I was very skeptical about buying this but it arrived wrapped in multiple boxes and the sword comes in a leather sheathe. The sheathe is no joke. It’s well built, beautiful and can handle being worn around a bit. This is by far the best blade I’ve bought to date. You can feel the time that went into the blade. The blacksmith that made this put a lot of work into it. Would recommend a case of some kind though to help protect the blade because like I said earlier, Damascus can take a lil to maintain. If it’s exposed to high temps or moisture it WILL start to get a faint layer of “rust”. It’s cleans off easily. Definitely look up how to properly clean Damascus. Overall, AMAZING blade and highly recommend!

It's a very nice sword. It's not a real Damascus sword in the sense that no one actually knows how to make the true stuff, but it's a beautiful pattern weld and holds a good sharp edge.I used a 600 grit ceramic did to sharpen mine and finished it off with my Henkels diamond steel. It slices through sheets of paper with little effort, and can stab through a card box 6 plies thick, with little pressure.The edge is tough, not Cold Stella 1055 tough, but tough enough that it doesn't knick or dull when I chop branches off of trees with it. It's a decent usable sword that is just a beautiful show piece. The pommel and guard are pattern welded as well, and the finish on the handle is beautiful.Be aware that this seller makes many different blade styles and handle configurations. This sword is short and similar to a gladius. It's a great short sword, and an excellent back up or parry weapon. It's also a nice dress sword for costume and stage work. I have had it for only a week or so, and have worn it twice for performances.

There was a review written that the person wasn't entirely satisfied with the scabbard. The scabbard is well constructed leather that fits the blade. The worst that can be said is this. While the sword looks and feels fit for Roman nobility, the scabbard looks plain by comparison. There is nothing wrong with it. I didn't buy a scabbard, I bought a sword and the sword is everything it is advertised. Beautiful pattern welded blade. Sturdy, battle worthy sword. That looks Regal. Now to dispell some false claims. It IS full tang. I can see where the tang is fit into the end plate of the pommel, so it is definitely FULL tang. There are unevenly spaced groves in the edge grind which are the weld pattern of the folded steel so it isn't laser etched. The handle has a dry organic feel so I believe the bone to be bone and not plastic. Subtle imperfections in the blade surface. All these things indicate a hand crafted, folded steel blade.

It’s a nice sword but the fact that you keep seeing full tang is very irritating

The sword is very well made and durable. Love the look and feel of the handle and blade.The scabbard is not as shown, and I had to dye it to match the color of the handle. The strap for the scabbard is cheaply made and thin.The sword has weight, is fairly balanced, and is full tang. Feels nice.

sword is great design, handle is awesome. came oiled to help protect it. the only thing was the blade was slightly bent. looking down the blade from handle the blade curves. but other than that everything else is really good.

This is a nice sword but has lasered Damascus so it is not a true Damascus sword. The handle is not bone and mine was chipped you can tell this is not handmade at all and is all factory done they charge to much for a piece that is so falsely advertised yes it is sharp but it has Damascus design and wooden and a chemical hadle. This product makes me feel lied to because of how it was described. If u want a true Damascus sword this is not it and this is not a fictional sword because the hadle is to small and does not allow for the needed hand movements for a proper swing if this was used you would not be able to use it for long

This is a very welfare and high quality sword that has held up in actual combat. I have had this sword in several events where we reenact Norse raids and thsi was one among 3 others that was able to last throughout the entire event. The grip is great and the balance is enough to the point where I can feel no resistance when changing direction but I can physically see that the top is a bit the right on the flat edges and doesn’t quite flow like the left side does. This is a great sword if you are into re-enactments or plays; through I’d guard the edges with rubber guards because even after a beating you’ll need to be careful around people. If you like quantity and durability then this is a great product to buy.
