Secret Agent Sword

Reviewed By: Sean Stone (Austin,  TX)
I bought this as one of the first swords for my collection, and i was extremely pleased. I've had it for years now and it has yet to show any signs that it isn't brand new. It has a good size, length, and weight to it. I don't use it to clear brush or anything, just to sit in my room and look cool, or maybe kill a scorpion every now and then. Overall one of the best purchases I've made, well worth the cheap price of 13$! I recommend!

It Was Okay Really Nice However, The Tip Bent But Was Easy To Fix The Only Reason It Bent To Begin With Was It Got Stuck In A Tree (Don't Ask) Could Have Been Sharper Also The Wrapping On The Handle Was Abit Lose So I Rewrapped It Tighter And The Plastic Ribbon Under Eventually Ripped And Came Undone But Electrical Tape Makes A Great Fix Abit Shorter Then Expected However An Excellent Short Sword And A Great Buy.

An elegant weapon... from a more civilized age...

Reviewed By: Grant (Fitchburg,  WI)
Great item! Everything about it is perfect. Except one thing - The nylon cord handle. When I swing the sword, the cord wrapping moves out of place a bit. I think it just needs to be tighter. It's not a big problem. Also, the sheath isn't all that great. It doesn't really have sides, the sword can poke out when your trying to slip it in. But I don't care about the sheath, I bought this to hang on my wall. So I'm not including the sheath in my rating. Just the sword, which is completely awesome!

I must say, these swords are awesome! They're more lightweight than I thought they would be, though also shorter... When I pulled them out of the packaging, they had some strange Damascus-style imprint on them, but it comes off over time, leaving nothing but ridiculous efficiency and a definite feeling of power when you hold them. These are my new favorite training weapons. Bud K, You've made a mutha f***ing fan out of me.... Editor's Note: Thank you for your comments.

Out of all the swords I have bought or made for my collection, this is my favorite purchased sword compared to the collectibles. I bought two, one for myself and one for my best friend for our birthday's 2 years ago. He also prefers to use this one also, and talk about a "scary sharp" edge you can put on one of these! I also extended this pattern to 43 inches overall with a double hand grip made of 1/4 inch spring steel. A little on the heavy side, but it is a brute! For close quarters fighting, this is my favorite along with a homemade knife I used French scrolls to make, with a hand guard and jaw breaker that is 2 ft long over all, 308 stainless steel.

There was a little oil on the blade and sheath but it was easy to buff off. It's somewhat difficult to unsheath because of the blade design but i found the more you pull it out and put it back in the sheath it gets easier, the sheath just has to get the feel for the draw of the blade.It comes with a backstarp but it is not functional.Also the nylon was a little loose but it was nothing some super glue wouldnt fix. Needs a little sharpeing if you are actually going to use it, but otherwise it was completely worth the $13.00 Great Job Bud K

This sword was really, really sharp when it arrived. Sharp enough to cut through the sheath and give me some nice gashes on my fingers. Other than that possible hazard, the sword is really nice.

To notice it, i held the sword out and held it flat, curved up slightly. 2nd, the strap on the sheath is WAY too short. and it adjusts to be even shorter. 3rd, the wrapping on the handle comes loose way too easily.
