SZCO Supplies Viking Sword

Beautifully made sword, simple but elegant, is worth every penny I spent on it, will be etching my family's name into it with norse runes.

Shipping was slow, but arrived intact.. sword is nicer then expected!! Feels decent in hand, no loose parts, and sheath fits it nicely.. perfect for renfaire attire.. if your looking for a wall hanger, or renfaire this would be great for the price!!

Very nice replica Viking sword. It'll go nice with my Viking costume for Renaissance fairs!

The weight was a little on the heavier side, but if you are as strong as the drengr who used it before it won't be an issue! The overall design was perfect. It looks just like the real thing! I love the black leather on the Handle as it adds a lot more grip to it, I can grip it comfortably in my hand.The blade is blunted but thick. If you were to do some HEMA sparring with it, it could definitely hold up. The Durability of it seems to be very strong, though I've only swung at the air and not an actual target. Needless to say I didn't regret the purchase!One complaint I can give though is the fit of the blade inside the scabbard, it's a little on the loose side, so try to keep the blade upright as you wear it as it will fall out of the scabbard. Other than that? It's amazing! If it had an edge it would surely make the likes of Tyr cry out in joy! I'm impressed

Got this for my first renaissance fair that I'm going to in a few weeks. Based on the photos and description, I couldn't tell if the sheath had a built in belt loop. I can now confirm that it does, so you do not need to buy a separate sword frog/holster. The sword is not super tight in the sheath so it could slide out at the right angle. The edges of the sword are rounded but the tip is a bit pointy. Not sharp but about what you would expect from a metal corner.The sword definitely has some heft to it and is not balanced well for only one hand, so I guess be wary of that if you have any issues with arm or wrist strength. But since it's just a prop, it's meant only for display anyway. Hopefully there won't be any weight issues with it hanging from my belt.It came wrapped very tightly and thoroughly in several layers of plastic and bubble wrap. There is grease on all of the metal surfaces that is messy when you first unpackage it. There are a few reviews complaining about this that don't realize the grease is important to keep it from rusting during storage and shipping. I got it mostly cleaned up pretty easily with just some paper towels and 70% IPA screen wipes. I'll probably go back over the grooves with a brush and some degreaser or dish soap.I think a number of the people that wrote poor reviews for this sword don't understand the concept of "you get what you pay for." It's a $40 metal prop sword. Of course it's not perfect. Sure the leather has some scratches or tiny tears, and the metal has a few blemishes and if you look down from the tip, you'll see that the blade is not perfectly straight. But I highly doubt anyone else will look closely enough to notice and judge the minor cosmetic issues.

This item worked great for my Renaissance Fair costume. I went as an Ironteeth witch and received alot of compliments.

Bought for fun photo ops. This sword is priced right.

Firstly, the sheath is so loose that it is even unsafe to store—let alone carry it (you might, after storing it for a few days, take it into your hand to practice with it, and forget about the defective sheath; and the tip might fall on your foot, for example)!Secondly, it is not sturdy enough for any impact (not even for practicing cuts against tires to condition your wrist and body)The only thing this is good for: Playing around with it to improve upper body strength and coordination.
