Legends In Steel Brass, Heartwood And Damascus Steel Sword

Before I go any further, I have to commend True Swords for their customer service department. You all deserve a raise! Now, on to the real review. This sword is GREAT. I love it! Looks great, sharp enough to slash through paper, and got some nice weight to it! I'm genuinely impressed with this blade and am proud to own it! Thank you all! (Can someone take down my previous review please?)

I ordered this sword on an impulse buy. I have bought a short sword from this site before, nothing special.. Great workmanship, incredibly sharp. So I decided to buy this sword. It showed up somewhat bent, which in my opinion.. Is great! It is truly a hand forged Damascus steel sword. The details in the blade are beautiful! I would recommend this sword to anyone!

This Heartwood Damascus Sword is a very excellent broad sword, the blade was very well done, and razor sharp out of the box I believe this is a functional sword since it flew right through a gal. Milk bottle filled with water. The hilt was also very well done, a hand and a half handle, the brass fittings look great the guard is just the rite size and looks very nice, the brass collar on the handle was a nice touch, but the pommel is what stands out at least for me, it is practically four spikes of danger to any one stupid enough too try and take it from you. I recommend this beautiful sword to all, if you collect swords, wall hangers or not you must add this too your collection. Thank you BUDK.

This sword has great balance. I cant tell if the handle is peened or threaded. None the less the handle is beautiful. The blade as i looked down it looked curved idk if it is from the forge process or shipping. Comes with a tip cover. Warning do not put sword in sheathe with pastic tip guard it will get stuck. It is sharpened. Seems decently sharp. Nice weight. Overall i love this sword.

YAY! GOT MY NEW TOY! Its smaller then I thought it would be but still a nice sword, I thought the guard would be bigger but it will do, and thanks for sharpening mine it cut through its own box lol. The pommel is cool to with that spikes look to it And the sheath fits on this one so no problems thanks a lot my friends at Bud K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just came, too big for sheath. I can cut out some edge foam inside neck of sheath, and see if it'll fit then. Came really greasy and smelly. Great knowing I have one of these nice swords. Thanks budk.

I needed a sword for Tai Chi practice, and didn't want a Chinese straight sword. This is more formidable! I asked for this for Christmas and it lives up to the description. Elegant but simple and rugged. The hilt is truly cool and stylish, feels great in the hands and not heavy. The blade is folded steel that you can feel and see, but perhaps not the best quality "Damascus" but I'm not an expert. I'm happy with it. It's sharp too, and perfect for basic weed whacking or stopping crime. Flaws: The scabbard is not very good, and doesn't allow the blade all the way in, so the snap is useless. I'm not too worried about that because I still think the value here is good. The blade itself nice, but has a sort of slight bulge in the middle area so that if the blade is vertical you can see a slight bend where it was hammered a bit. This is ok, and gives it a natural look like it was forged in a forest. I had read that it was styled after a English woodland sword, hence I named it after Sherwood Forest. BudK was also very easy to work with about returning the first sword which had a bend in the blade that was sideways (with flat side up, the blade was curved to the side near the end). Overall, its a 4 star on the blade, and 5 star on the hilt.

when i got it it was bent a bit and even after rebending it back it’s still warped :/ wish i had a new one but the sword is well worth the money, very sturdy and sharp, beautiful blade with real Damascus

The only complaint I have is no sheath color option otherwise I love this sword.

Great weight good quality blade careful this blade ships sharp i cut my hand open when it freed itself from the plastic wrap beautiful work on the blade with very few minor flaws

Not a bad sword for the price however i found it to be to light a the handle was loose but other than that a great blade

This is a great sword for the price. The blade is beautiful and relatively sharp out of the box, but I had 2 issues with it. First the "carved handle" was uncomfortable in the hand because the groove ridges were a little too sharp and where the guard meets the hand the edge of the brass was again a little too sharp. So I took a worn sanding belt and sanded down the ridges in the handle grooves so they were a little more rounded and then used an oil finish on it to make it look beautiful again. And then sanded the edge of the brass guard so it didn't cut into my hand so much. Now I absolutely love this sword.

This sword is authentically beautiful, much like the shorter versions of it from Legends In Steel. The Damascus pattern is sexy, and the rosewood and brass compliment each other very well. It's a bit smaller than I imagined, but its still a good one handed or hand-and-half sword. For the price, it's one of the best display swords of its type. The reason I wouldn't give this five stars however, comes down to a few things. The sword is advertised as sharp, but its fairly dull; even running it along my skin didn't do much at all. I usually try my swords out against some water jugs -an easy target for a somewhat sharp sword- and it barely cut them. The blade on mine was also asymmetrical, so that the design doesn't line up with the point on both sides. Overall, if you're looking for a great display piece with a Damascus glow, this is a great buy, especially for the price. If you're looking for something for cutting practice, you're going to have to start grinding this thing down pretty hard to get an edge - you might want to look at the other swords on the site made for it.

*Pros: Looks absolutely stunning, sharp, and the picture doesn't lie. *Cons: Sword came bent, sheath is a very tight fit and doesn't fit properly. *Both: This sword is made of higher grade steel (that is not stainless steel), in this sense it is good quality, but more care is required. Be aware that blade length is correct but they fail to mention that the handle, guard, and pommel are more like short sword size (Guard-5.5in, from guard to end of pommel-8in, width of sword-2in). *All in all- its a good looking sword and pretty good quality, and for the sale price I got it for, ~$68( double sales are amazing), it was worth it. However, in my opinion the full price of $90 would not be worth the buy. Hope this helps.

I just got the sword, the blade length is just what I expected, however the first thing I noticed when I opened this product was the unsymmetrical grinding all over the blade and the two blemishes on the blade. the balance is 3 inches from the guard. The edge does come a bit sharp so be careful opening it. I will give a more detailed review when I had a chance to weald it more.

For the most part I'm pretty happy with this buy. Good weight, good look. There was, however an imperfection in the Damascus layering. If it was for me, I wouldn't be overly concerned, but this was meant as a gift. It was almost the size of a quarter and something that obvious simply can't be given to someone else

For less than 100 bucks, its not bad. The blade wobbles from side to side a bit in the handle, im gonna try dropping some washers down both sides of the blade to see if i cant sturdy it up. its sharp, but not razor sharp. still a neat sword.

This is a nice sword, But, Part of the Damascus look on the blade fell off when I unwrapped it. about the sis of a dime, both sides of blade. The blade by the hilt is very irregular and crooked. The Damascus look appears to be layered on the blade. Poor job. Dull.
