Your cart is empty.We used heat-treated 65MN steel as the material for the blade, you can understand it as spring steel, You can easily make it bend 60° without deformation, and you can make it pass through paper, bottles, wooden boards, etc. without any problem. The design of the handle is the hardest part, you need to make sure that it is removable and at the same time you need to make it fit perfectly with no gaps. The removable design solves the idea of some people wanting to disassemble their swords and allows you to get a better understanding of the structure. It should be noted that due to its DIY assembly structure, it is not stable and therefore cannot be tested strenuously. We recommend that you use it with caution and do not test it strenuously as there is a risk of breakage.In addition, there is a certain amount of defective steel structure rate, if you have any problems, please communicate in time!

Very good sword. I only thing I can say isn't that great is the gray of the pommel and cross guard. But other than that sword is really good

Surprisingly nice sword. Tip arrived with a slight bend. Like the box hit the ground too hard and the sword was tip down. I can deburr it off myself. Good steel. Came with a decent scabbard. The sword is light, easy to assemble and well balanced. That is the surprising part. I expected it to be unbalanced. The handle is plastic if that makes a difference to you. I intend to replace it with wood and a leather wrap. I may use the supplied sleeve screws to hold my new handle together. The crossguard has a gap which may turn some people off. Sword feels very solid anyway. For it's size it is quite nimble. I fight in armored tournament as a hobby. This weapon will not stand up to continued combat use but for that one fight when you need a sharp sword, this will do nicely. I'll belt it to my hip.

Really nice price and sharpness. Easy to put together and pretty light. Not sure about durability, but good quality.

Be aware the blade is black and wipes off as a red rust. I don't know the chemical process but no matter how much I oil it it still wipes off as rust.

This is the 4th sword I purchase from this seller. The first one was a Last Samurai Katana and then I purchased 3 of their Long Swords. This is my 3rd Long Sword. All 3 are of the different varieties that this seller offers. This one is great as well as the other 2. It has to be assembled once you receive it. That only took me 5 minutes and it was very straightforward! The bluing on the blade is outstanding! The whole thing just looks amazing with its dark color. This sword feels very well made and perhaps a little heavier than the other 2 long swords I purchased, but it is definitely manageable when swinging it. I am very, very happy with all of the Fidestisan swords I have purchased. A+++++ in my book.

I bought this sword after careful review of all available information regarding it. I collect historical swords, but only fully functional historically accurate models constructed for battle conditions: of high-carbon spring-steels or other tempered steels used for sword forging. This sword's blade is a nice, oil quenched, spring steel. The blade is also blued (blackened); and it also appealed to me that this sword comes unassembled, which is fun in its simple assembly; but moreover, it lets me know exactly what I am wielding, no surprises; like a poorly welded-on separate rat-tail tang attached to the base of the blade, hidden under the handle. This sword: The cross-guard and quillons as well as the stout "fish-tail" type of pommel, are metal, and heavy-duty. The ballistic plastic (ABS) handle section is stout and thick and sturdy. The entirety of the sword: blade, and parts, and bolt-paths to connect all together, are all very well designed and machined to fit together very precisely, very tightly. After assembly, hold the completed sword in one or both hands and shake vigorously. There should be no rattling, "play", or looseness in any part. If there is any at all; keep tightening! Tighten bolts until you are unable to tighten them any further.Also, of all of my swords that came advertised as "SHARP" or "SHARPEND", with a foundry-edge; this sword here was the very sharpest of all right out of the box. Which is wonderful; but please be careful during assembly. I advise cut-proof gloves, and handling the blade by the flat of it, avoiding the double edges. Lastly, as a HEMA enthusiast, and student of the European Longsword (German, Italian, and English); I would argue the listing titling this as a "Claymore", which is considered a characteristically stylized Scottish version of the 'Great Sword'; or a very long-bladed sword, wielded with two hands, specifically forged for war. The blade-length of this offered sword narrowly places it in the generally accepted European "Longsword" category (blade-length of around 33" to 44"). This sword is also a "Bastard Sword", since the handle is larger than a single-hand grip, yet shorter than a two-handed grip (found mostly on Great Swords, Claymores, or other heavy war-swords). I would classify this sword as a Bastard Longsword. Swords of this style were very popular in the Medieval European, Italian, German, and Spanish cultures, societies, and kingdoms. Longsword popularity endured over 300 years, eventually giving way to brief evolution of the Renaissance rapier: after gunpowder effectively defeated plate armor. This sword is awesome! I intend to buy more as gifts.
