Why would anyone want one of these? Are you waiting for an orc attack?

The double sword would be for clubbing raccoons and then skewering them like asskabobs.

That and I have a hard on for cheap [censored].

I play Magic: the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons and even I think these are horribly lame.

Yes, I've seen replica swords before. I think the katana is sorta cool, but those weird fancy looking daggers are super lame.

lameness aside, I think you will be amazed at the poor quality of these things. The blades are probably completely unsharpenable and the double sword thingy will probably snap in half with the first raccoon whack.

I have a couple short ones, I think they're called Tonto Swords; they actually came from Japan (a friend picked them up for me while she was there).

They are pretty cool, I have them displayed. I was just looking for something inexpensive to add to them.

as long as the raccoon dies it will be worth it.

Buy these. Take pictures of yourself holding them in combat poses, and post them here. We promise not to make fun of you at all.

These kinds of swords are made out of stainless steel so they look good. Usually 18/10. Stainless steel is generally quite brittle, which is why swords are not made out of it *edit* for practical use *edit*.

See here for more reasons why swords like these should not be used in 'combat' like you're planning. SFW, btw.

swords are cool but only the real thing.

Don't buy this cheap bullshit.

Save up some money and get a nice fancy samurai sword or something. OR just dont get any sword at all

just curious, thats all.

I hadn't seen that video in a while. The end is hilarious.

Well they will most likely be mounted on the wall, unless I get attacked by Orcs or Leprechauns, in which they will be employed immediately.

I thought he swore a blood oath not never to make another sword.

I'm pretty sure Hanzo Hattori had nothing to do with the production of these shoddy "swords"

What the heck is that weird one in the middle?

I agree that the daggers are very stupid looking. The sword at the bottom looks okay.

I always think of having these on display as something the burglar can use to chop you up in your sleep with.

Re: Cheap-ass replica swords... whatcha think?
 
When I was attacked by orcs, I was wishing I had one of these.

Definately pick them up and keep them in your car. If you are ever pulled over, quickly show them to the officer in a thrusting motion.

You will be a big hit.

Why buy junk? go cold steal.

Re: Cheap-ass replica swords... whatcha think?
 
I agree.
Save your money and buy something decent from Cold Steel.

What the hell is that thing in the middle? It looks like a mini-sword cane or something. The daggers are cheap copies of Gil Hibben's work and the katana would probably only make a good wall hanger. As long as nobody looks at it too close.
