Last Chance Swords, Knives & Daggers

This sword is amaizing, a bit heavy, but amazing. No defect on the guard, on the pommel, nothing, even the scabbard fit perfectly. What do you want more ?

I sat on the fence on this for a long time until the discounts earlier in the year made it too tempting. I read one bad review elsewhere but decided to risk it and found it was worth it! This is no chintzy fantasy blade but a very hefty and functional piece! Every fellow martial artist or Medieval re-enactor I've shown this to concurs. As I am especially fond of wielding single-edged, curved blades, this is a unique and welcome addition! Any modifications such as changing the hilt, the grinding of the edge, or changing the scabard are easy enough to do. Get this while you can!

For the price you will have a hard time finding a better sword!  I love the simple look and it just feels right in the hand.  My only complaint is that the pommel was peened crooked, however it doesn't affect function.

A beautiful, solid piece of equipment, and well worth the price.

Beautifully balanced, with the perfect amount of flex so not too whippy! Sword handles amazingly and the fittings on mine are perfectly aligned, with no rattles to speak of. First head about this sword through the SBG review and have had my eye on it for a while. One thing I noticed though, is that the fuller on mine is almost twice as wide as any other Windlass European swords I have seen, which in my opinion makes the blade super attractive, and much more aesthetically pleasing for my personal taste. My one gripe is that the fuller ground on one side of the blade veers off on a haphazard angle for about 3 inches near the tip-end which really detracts from what would otherwise be a great finish for the price. Because of this flaw, I should only give four stars in review of the particular blade I received. It still performs flawlessly though, and I am sure MRL would swap for a new sword if it's owner was overly affected by any major errors in the product's finish - therefore I will award it the 5-star rating it deserves.

It is exactly what it is advertised to be. An excellent basic functional sword that cannot be beat at its original price point and a steal in closeout.  Well crafted simplicity at its best. The second I have owned and not much changed from the first I bought over 15 years ago.  Why they would discontinue such a time-tested sword is beyond me...but all things I suppose must come to an end.  Unfortunately, I received this one damaged due to some very negligent shipping but I can't express enough how helpful the customer service is at Museum Replicas. A shipping label was immediately sent to me and upon their receiving the original, even though I was informed it could be a 6 week wait due to the closeout, a replacement was found and shipped out (express) on the same day. A solid and very trustworthy company that I look forward to dealing with again in the future.      

I've had my eye on this model in the Cobra Steel line for some time and took advantage of the holiday sale, bought two.  They came fairly sharp and I tuned them up to very sharp with little trouble.  The sheaths are clunky but functional, the rubber scales are a little squarish but I'll grind the corners down.  The somewhat seax-like design has both warrior and utility to it's look, the most noticeable characteristic the really murderous descending point, which the photos do not do justice.  

5 stars because this is pretty much as advertised... Don't think you'll beat it at this price...  And you could beat this thing quite a bit... Arrives semi sharp... A few passes on a belt sharpener brought it right up to speed...

We buy these swords as a presentation to the incoming President of the Sheriff's Assn.  High quality and historical accuracy makes these swords perfect for our use.
