One-Handed Swords

This is a great sword. A real deal.

I just received mine yesterday and I love it. For the price point, you really can't beat this thing. It feels good in the hand, the balance is fine, it cuts nicely, and it most definitely thrusts. I paid extra for the sharpening service, and whoever did it did a wonderful job. Both edges were ground evenly, without any burs or scratches on the blade proper. It cut paper right out of the box. Some people might want to sharpen it further -- I don't have the proper skills or tools to do that, but I'm satisfied with the way the edge came. The fittings are nice and tight. No wobbling or clinking. The tempering is great, it flexes and returns true. Both crosses on the hilt match up just fine. The scabbard is just a plain old scabbard, nothing to write home about. But what I love most about this thing is the polish -- it has a gorgeous shiny mirrored polish instead of a flat satin finish. Some people online complain that the handle is hard plastic instead of wood, but it doesn't bother me at all. Same with the leather wrapping on the grip -- you may want to customize that yourself, too. The pommel is threaded but it can be removed for disassembly, modifying, and cleaning. I'm glad I caught the tail end of the May sail. This sword was worth every penny.

This is my favorite sword. It looks and wields like a real battle sword. There is a slight dip along the edge on one side.no big deal but now that i know that it is there i always see it. even so , This sword is a great buy.

Well done Real Sword, For a long sword it is light quick well balanced. had it sharpened and it came razor sharp. Fits the leather scabbard well. A good buy.

Of  all my swords  purchased  from  MR this  one  is  my  favorite .  It's  well made .  I had  mine  sharpened  and  engraved .  It's  very  sharp . It  balances 2" from the guard  while  makes  it easy  to  wield .  All steel  construction is a plus .  I like  the  design .

This sword really pleasantly surprised me. The relatively simple design is elegant in its own way, even with the oddly over-sized pommel. It feels sturdy, rugged, like it's meant to be used instead of hung on a wall. It feels very light and nimble in the hand, though a bit hilt heavy (the pommel, no doubt....). The sharpening service was adequate and the fit and finish is excellent for this price range. I ended up actually liking the pommel as it effectively extends the grip to make this a hand and a half sword, essentially. Overall, very pleased and a good bargain for a trusty everyday carry sword.

well balanced , well made . good xv sword . at sale price can't be beat . best sword deal out there .

Exceptional fine sword. Glad to have one before MR sells-out. Should have purchased long aqo. Well made, balanced and great looking on my wall. Recommend. Get one before they are gone!

This sword just arrived today and I'm very happy with it. Fit and finish on the sword and scabbard are all excellent, with no loose parts. The optional sharpening is nice and even. This is a pretty good-sized sword but the balance is excellent. The handle diameter is on the large size - not a serious problem for me, but if your hands are smaller (glove size medium or smaller) it might make your grip fairly open... Altogether a lovely sword!

The one I own was from their run in the early to mid 90's. But it's a great sword! I handled one of the new ones last May
