SZCO Supplies Roman Gladius Sword - Real Swords for Adults, 31" Stainless Steel Blade, Pewter and Wood Handle, Decorative Scabbard- Gladiator Sword with Wood Display Stand

This is heavy and well crafted with an engraved blade. I wasn't expecting it to be this top quality, will def order from this company again. It comes with a nice wooden display stand that is also very sturdy.

The blade is completely dulled, but that's fine for a display. The blade also has a simple pattern along the length of it which adds a nice aesthetic, though it isn't as prominent in the product images. It's sturdy enough, but I wouldn't actually use it as a sword.The sheath is a lot more glossy in person, definitely plastic poorly imitating wood, though the metals braces are sturdy and look nice. It looks nice enough.The handle and its engravings are exactly as shown.It came with both the stand and the chain. I haven't used the chain, but the stand works fine.

The chain holding it to your belt is useless. The blade seems nice, and mirror finish. It is not sharp at all, about 2mm at the edge, and the tip is rounded.

This is much better than expected. Good detail, heavy piece, and very nice.

It's a total decorative piece. Swiped it twice at a fence lightly & the handle shattered. Completely no point in owning a sword if you can't even protect yourself with it

This is my first purchase of this sort, so I am not an expert. I enjoy ancient history and remember seeing a reproduction. Sword like this from the Franklin Mint as a child. When I saw this, I thought I would try it since it was a good price. It is an attractive sword. It is not a nice as other reproduction swords I have seen, but for price I think it is nicer than I would expect. The scabbard is simulated wood plastic with metal ornaments. The sword has a sharp tip and dull edge which I would expect with a display piece. The sword has simulated etching with imprinting on the blade. The handle has metal ornaments and plastic components. I particularly like the gold accents which were absent on some other swords on amazon. I think the stand is ugly so that was the main disappointment.My ideal sword would have no plastic components and real engraving on the blade, but I wouldn't expect that quality for $40. All in all, I feel I got more than my money's worth, so I am pleased.

Received this item as promised on the 12/07/22 as written . Never opened box when I received it. But was given today as present for Christmas when box was opened the handle was BROKE off the rest of the sword. So lucky I could just pull out billfold and hand over 75.00 dollars so they can get something at a knife shop ! So it just ended up going in the dumpster with the rest of the trash !!! Not a quality product !!!

I know some customers said that their swords case or whatever you call it was not the color displayed on the screen. When checking another website, the item had a note that the colors may vary. So their problem does seem to be one that happens often. Fortunately my sword came looking just as it was depicted and I'm happy. It is very well built and the stand is black made out of wood. the stand was easy to put together. It only took 10 seconds.
