Spiral Rapier Sword of the First Musketeer Model 1 of 3 Wire and Black Handle

I bought and gave this sword as a gift to a young man who is a dear friend of both of my son's and our whole family. It was a tribute to his graduating high school, and also becoming a noble young man. I wrote him a note about being a modern day "Knight" and being chivalrous in his character throughout his life, to both mark the occasion for him, and encourage him to maintain a high standard in his future manhood. Since we're Christians there were references to the "Sword of the Spirit" and "Armor of God" and such as well. That's why this sword made a fitting gift and symbol of those values. The actual product itself looked really terrific from 5' away, normal display viewing distance. Once a person inspected it up close, from inches, it's quality "flaws" were evident-and honestly exactly what I expected from this price level. The only problem I had with this sword was that the blade was actually bent at the tang, every so slightly a degree or two. This took a little engineering, but I made a vice block to grasp the sword right at the handle THROUGH the elaborate hand guard and bent the sword straight as an arrow, aligning the blade with the handle. This may have happened in shipping, I don't know. Either way it ended up perfect after I finished with it. I ended up polishing the already very bright blade, and I engraved the young man's initials in the blade right at the tang. He was supremely happy with the sword gift, and so was I. I would buy again. Enjoy!

I was holding my breath because a sword I had ordered was much too heavy and more crudely made than appeared on the website. I ordered this because it is lighter and appeared well made and had a good review. I am really very pleased with it for the price. It is sturdy, well put together, light weight, and very attractive. I just have to remember it's on when I turn. I got a baldric on the recommendation of someone at the Renaissance Festival in Michigan that can be removed easily and quickly. I'm very happy with that, too and would like to thank the unknown gentleman for a great suggestion.

This is a wonderful replica musketeer rapier which can be used for halloween costume, plays or rennaisance faires. It is well balanced, well made and looks realistic. The blade is not sharpened but has a nice finish. It is a very good buy for the price.

This is a beautiful sword with a well crafted guard and comfortable handle. Everything is clean and perfect with a mirror-like finish on the blade. Though, read the description carefully. It is listed as 44 inches long, which is true. I didn't bother reading that part so when I received it, it was longer than I was expecting.

It's pretty cool! I just use it for decoration. I did use it with a costume once, which was pretty neat. The only downside was there wasn't a way to attach the sheath to my body, so I just ended up sticking the whole thing through my belt which worked nicely.

Nice sword, not as flimsy as I was expecting and bigger than I pictured. I was very satisfied and the hubby was the hit of the costume party! I'm not sure if it would hold up to actual sword play, but for our purposes (costume and then the wall) it was perfect.

Inigo Montoya. At least that was my part in our mass costume of "The Princess Bride". This thing looked great. Spray painted the hilt gold, re-wrapped the handle a bone white. It really sold the costume. Solid item and a great price.

Was very impressed with the speedy delivery! It was very well packed and well taken care of. The person I bought it for loved it very much! It was the right weight and the leather handle was very nice touch.
