What are the little divots on the hilt and pommel? Guess it could be battle scars and it wasn't treated very well in the troll lair.

yes those are little battle scars. It makes it look more authentic. If thats what you like.

It's a really nice sword, got it for my boyfriend and he loves it!... Nerd ;P Only problem (in his opinion) is that it's a dulled blade and meant to be more of a wall mount not a toy haha. I'm pretty sure it's held by one screw and could easily come apart it you swung it around too much. Besides that, it's pretty nice looking, for a sword hahah.

there were some areas of over spray on the paint job and the handle was a little loose. i would not recommend any heavy contact with the sword, but use as ornamental should be fine. a little carpenters glue took care of the handle.

Its actually not a very good sword. I wouldn't purchase it if I was you if if its cheap.

The blade is not sharp, except for the tip. If anything, the look of the sword would be intimidating enough. That being said, it's still heavy and blunt, so hitting an invader with it could do something. However, it IS a beautiful work of art and shouldn't be used in that way.

The "Wheel of Life" tsuba (Nazi symbol) is metal but I doubt it's going to hold up in combat or anything. The handle itself is pretty well made, keeping in mind this is not a combat sword or anything but it is really well made for the money.

The alloy seems to be plain sttel stock honed and carved to resemblet he blades from the anime. The sword is fairly stirdy, but I would not go chopping Titans necks with this thing, I do not expect the TAM to be reliable or quality. It is a show piece, not a fighting sword.

The scabbard only, you can't fix it to the wall. You need the ORIGINAL United Cutlery Sting sword to do that. ( Bilbo's or Frodo's one, doesn't matter )

I like the sword. My sword and sheath fit very tight, but maybe mine has something that fell inside. For the price you pay for the sword it is a good sword. Do not expect to have a real-life fighting capable sword. I bought mine because I wanted to put together a really cool Gladiator Maximus Halloween costume.

The sword I received was in good condition, but the inside of the sheath was covered in some kind of wax that made it difficult to pull the sword out and got the blade dirty every time I sheathed it. I would suggest putting the sheath upside down next to a heater if you do decide to buy it, I did that and the 'wax' went away. The sword is fine though.

The wood seems to be bamboo not really sturdy it wood break I am sure if you hit someone with the sheath but for holding the sword its fine.I cant say what type of steel it is it looks to be two types as it has a nice blend looking pattern where the edge is one metal and the back of the blade is another.It does hold an edge well it seems my son sharpened it and its scary sharp cut my thumb just checking it.Now is it a real fighting sword no I am sure it wouldn't hold up but it does look nice for the price and would be a nice present for a amateur collector.Do note its super bright red scabbard not wood color like he picture seems.

it's a modified ulu with a gut hook. not a bad design, minus the hook, pommel spike and spine claws. if it was reproduced in a high carbon steel and given a respectable temper and handle scales, it would be a very effective knife.

I really doubt it. I don't think the sword metal goes much past the hilt. It feels as if it had 4 (or fewer) real heavy hits against say, a tree, the handle would probably split or bend away from the sword.

The sword is a rat tail tang. Definitely not " battle ready ". I wouldn't even do solo practices with this for fear that the tang will break. It's a wall hanger - a beautiful one though.

The blade is solid, but stainless steel can dent easily, plus the paint will definitely chip. The hilt looks nice and strong, but it's clearly for show purposes. I wouldn't use this in a fight, but it definitely makes for a great show piece or cosplay weapon.

My Morakniv is stamped "Swedish Steel on the right side of the blade, but it's one with a blue handle and black pommel and hilt. I don't know how my review came to be on the wooden-handled version.

the sword and the handle is one large hunk of well crafted metal. i believe that the handle is wrapped in a different form of metal to get the particular look though.
