Armory Replicas - Foe of Hammer Medieval Stainless Steel Dagger - Movie Inpsired Costume Reenatcment Prop Dagger w/Hard Scabbard

Great build feels great to hold and great price for what you are getting.

I buy various new and used edged weapons for donor blades. I purchased a couple of these mainly to see exactly what they were, their size, how they were put together. The specs shown in the product description are accurate and correct, as far as they go. For the benefit of anyone considering purchasing one -- read on.From a few feet away, in its sheath, the knife looks pretty good. The sheath is ABS (plastic), and, by virtue of being very plain in design, looks even better, to me. The downside is, no belt loop or rings to facilitate carry. As for the hilt -- the haft is also plastic, and the pommel attaches by being stuck on a plastic pin or extension of the haft that is about 3/8" long, 5/16" in diameter. Not only can the pommel be simply pulled off, but the pin itself is slightly flexible. How the haft mates to the blade, I don't know. I haven't torn the thing apart and I'm not going to, since at some point I'll re-sell or gift both knives. I would tend to trust another review I read, which said the blade tang is short and basically stuck into the haft.A plus is that, being made of probably zinc (pot metal), and having a nice, not too ornamental design, the guard and pommel could be re-used in the construction of a better-quality knife.The seller (and all the sellers of the same basic knife, as far as I've seen), give the blade length as 9 1/2". That's correct. On a knife that will possibly be used, other pertinent specs are as follows. The blade is 15/16" in width, at the hilt. Though the photos show most of the blade as having distinctive bevels from centerline to edges -- not so. The flat ricasso and centerline are 3/32" thick; the edges of the knife are 1/16" squared-off; that adds up to 1/64" bevels on each side of the blade, which can hardly be felt and can really only be seen in the right light. Being very thin in cross-section to start with, I suspect an attempt to sharpen it would either ruin the blade immediately or leave it so flimsy that it would fold up in even light use.Sales tax and all included, this is a $16 knife. It looks good. For use as-is, or recycling the blade into a better hilt, looking good is still all it will be good for. As stated, I bought two of these just to see what they are, and that's what I'm passing along to other potential buyers. As a prop or a costume accessory, I'd call it a good buy. For the function and feel of a real using blade, though, figure on paying more, because this probably isn't what you're looking for.

Very cheap. You can pull the blade off because it isn't screwed in, the end of the handle fell off, not sharp, and has a flat tip

It's good for a replica the handle is kind of uncomfortable but the blade is very nice
