Red Guardian Fantasy Sword With Sheath

Good, not great. I have just used mine to do some brush clearing, yep, used it like a machete. Awesome cutting and weight. Did not dull the edge at all. It arrived reasonably sharp. Now, the bad. Hate the handle. The leather wrap is cheap. It breaks easily. The handle end will cut into you. The sword is not solid metal, there is a weld line between the handle and the blade. Not a bad weld. I beat the crap out of it yesterday and my body gave up, the sword did not. So, I guess thanks are due BUDK. I had thought all of the very low cost swords were, well, light weight wall displays and nothing more. This one has proved me wrong. I will fashion a grip for it and then bring on the zomibes!

I have been collecting swords, knives, and daggers for years... I have many, but this one I bought myself for Christmas (keep forgetting to get on and write a review, came on to order one for my brother for his birthday since he saw mine and insisted that I get him one LOL and figured I'd do it now!) anyway, I bought it for myself for Christmas just because it looked cool and was on sale, I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near as kickass as it is! It beat my expectations BIG TIME! It's razor sharp, cuts through anything and everything with such ease! It's lightweight and easy to handle. Such a beautiful piece, I get compliments on it all the time. I love this sword! I highly recommend it to anyone!

The sword is very well made. The design is not just aesthetically pleasing but practical. The Blade is weighted at the end and light towards the back. If sharpened this sword can do some serious cutting. Another great feature is the scarab, fits perfectly and is made of some very durable material.

My friend got one and I just fell in love with it! Every thing about it made me want one, the handle wasn't THAT bad idk why people keep ripping on it. If you take good care of it it'll be fine. Over all loved it!

Just got my sword today. I have to say that I have been collecting swords for a long time and I have to say for the price,I have never bought a better sword. Very sharp blade right out of the box and it came to my home very fast. I will be ordering a lot more swords from this site. VERY PLEASED!

In one word this sword is wicked. The blade on mine is razor sharp. It has just enough give to deliver a solid hit without bending. The strapped handle will eventually need to be replaced but other than that just deadly.

Awesome sword! The blade is very sharp. Really nice right out of the box. The sheath is well made.

This sword is a really nice piece over all. Right out of the package i took it outside and cut 5 to 6 pumpkins completely in half on the first try. really sharp, i really recommend this blade

great sword ,more of a short sword or a machete. sharpens up really well in just minutes. rerwapped the handle ,and i don't know why every one says the sheath is worthless cause the one i got came with a very durable sheath the blade doesn't cut through it at all.i made a shoulder harness for it and attatched the sheath to it and i wear it on my back. got it from a friend for my birthday ,it was just what i wanted. all in all great for killing zombies!!!

This weapon is truly a monster. The blade is not the sharpest, but with a little effort,I was hacking though 2 inch thick branches in a couple of swings. Although the wrappings are pretty much worthless, the rest was perfect. Would definitely buy another one.

for the price its a great urban ninja blade.buy a blade sharpner and increas the edge.

This sword is awesome i cut my self by sliding my finger on it. I highly suggest getting this sword.

this was a christmas gift for my son. he loved it. was quite sharp, very good feel in the hand. looks menacing. looks great on the holder i built for his collection.

Must buy this sword!! Got it as a christmas present, along with the shorter red guardian, and absolutely love both!! this sword feels great, looks great, and is sharp out of the box, but could use a sharpening. Wrap job on handle is junk, replace with para cord, and you'll be set! For length reference, this sword is about 6 inches longer than most machetes. it is strong, fast, and COMPLETELY worth the money!! cannot find a better deal or sword!!!

Very light. Needs to be sharpened but overall it's a great value. At first it seems like it's too light and it won't hold but it's nice. I wouldn't try to cut branches or anything hard like that but it's pretty sweet and for $16 its a nice short sword.

purchased for xmas gift but i love it think my son will be too!

i was extreamly exited when i ordered the sword, and it came in two days! it was sharp straight out of the box. the red wrap is loose because it is opptinail if you want it on. amazing price for quality, thank you budk!

Great sword sleek design, very sturdy and durable.

This is a great addition to any collecrion. Its my third so far. Cut through the box in one his. The blade felt a little dirry and stick when i got it, but a little wd-40 and a wrag fixed it. Overall, a great purchase.

This sword is a great sword. It may get stuck in the heath but that is only if you slide it in to far. Over all this sword is boss. I sliced two 2 liter bottles filled with water with no problem at all. Also just had to cut up a water melon. The blade cut right through the water melon. This is one of my favorite swords.

Great sword, solid, great look, feel, and the price can't be passed up definitely worth it and then some! Excellent grip and maneuverability, like it says sleek, dangerous, tactical! Nuff said!

This sword is the most amazing light sword ive bought so far its so sharp can slice a large apple mid air (ive tested it) it is amazing but the only problem I noticed is that the black finish is off nothing else! Its amazing

The sword came today and WOW,very cool looking. I am going to use this as a show piece so functionality not a problem. It will look great on my wall.

I love the sword. Its my first one, it's great I chopped through branch and can alike.

Not your Grandads Machete This sword is good for the money, It holds and edge. When my girl who likes swords got a hold of it she sliced and diced everything she was allowed to. I cleared the back fence line with it. Still has a edge on it. Being one solid piece of steel it held up well. All I had to do after all that is re-lash the red bindings.

This is a really great sword. the red grip is not that bad actually. its sharp and i like the teeth on it. this is a good zombie killing sword.<br /><br />p.s. <br /><br />i loved the Rainbow Dash you put on the box

Great looks, Awesome price, and in my opinion great size(weight and length). only down side was the sharpness, it was soooo sharp it wouldnt cut a balloon!! but besides it being very dull which will be easy to sharpen i think its worth getting

this sword is great, it was perfect out of the box, sharp, and well made. very nice colors and all but i wanted to see what was inside it. so i took the tightly wrapped handle off and the inner black handle grip and notices that there were two pieces of wood that make up the handle. And after taking off the handle i wrapped it in duct tape to make it more sturdy noticing that the previous handle was not as well assembled (black duct tape) and then wrapped it in parachute cord and melted the ends this make the sword perfect for me and i suggest this sword to any and all who are responsible. also maybe doing what i did to the handle. overall this sword is the SH**@#$@%$%@#$%$52

i just went camping and i took this sword with and it performed way better tan i expected it cut well and didn't dull and i was cutting through 2 inch branches with it. the only thing i didn't like was the handle wrap so i changed it to a paracord wrap. bottom line it's an excellent sword

This sword is sleek and tactical. I felt like I should have bought a 2nd one. I love the design of the blade and the weight. This sword is nothing if not an excellent piece of craftsmanship.

Amazing sword, the leather wrap is a good grip! It wont break, and is FULL TANG! Amazing sword, i would pay over $50 for this. sharp, and deadly! BUY IT! great price great quality! thanks budk!

This is an awesome sword but it dents really easy. The handle comes undone really easy, but other then that its a boss little sword.

well this sword.... is freakin awesome i love it the only thing is its smaller the i thougt and the handle wrap is too thin but really great buy this it is worth it for a starter collector like me

just got this two days ago. came sharp and is really sturdy. only complaint is that i notice it can easily pierce through the sheath while in it. otherwise its a hell of a deal.

this sword is awesome i had watermelon for dinner no knife just sword and pineapple a lot of cans and soda:)

this sword NEEDS to be sharpend right out of the box other and just take the nylon cord of for safer grip. anyway it's extremely good and look good plus it's very balance the cut outs can be used as extra grips to.

Granted it needs sharpening but what the he** that is simple to do!It is light and the maneuverability is excellent!The material on the handle is somewhat slippery though so if you can,just change it with anything that will give better grip.This sword also excels at stabbing and would probably be perfect for going through armor!

The most excellent swords. Feels like a machete on steroids. I bought 2 of them.

With a little sharpening, this is definitely worth the price. Very pleased with this purchase. the wrapping on the handle is garbage. but if you make your own, you have a well balanced weapon, intimidating in appearance and also reliable. Good buy

The sword is amazing, has a very good grip. I received my sword on time as stated. Customer Service is extremely attentive and very caring for their customers. Thank you customer service. Best place to buy swords, knifes, etc. I recommend this site above all others.

I. Just got the sword and I have to say it is pretty great a little smaller then I thought (which is better for me once I think about it) light weight. But it is kinda dull at the blade but I will correct all in all this is a great sword.

i have three swords so far and this one is by far my favorite

I just got this today and i couldn't be more impressed by it, it was even better then i thought it would be. I could swing it with no force and it would stick into a solid tree with no problem at all. I is an extremely light weight, sharp and pointy sword. The red handle is just made from cheap, crappy plastic so i suggest taking it off and putting some swag, black tape on instead like i did.

This sword is beautiful, especially considering the price. True, it does need a sharper edge for actual use, but it's got a nice weight to it and seems sturdy. Zombie apocalypse ready!

I got this sword about 8 min. ago I love it. First buy from budk, all I have to complain about is mine needs to be sharpened other than that it is great.

This sword would be an extremely adequate weapon for when the zombie apocalypse comes rather than using an unreliable gun,having a limited amount of ammunition. This sword would be excellent for killing zombies. I cannot wait.

Every now & again, a sword comes along that begs for serious work & no-nonsense action---this is that sword!!!!! The serrated teeth on this sword can be sharpened & honed to do serious sawing/cutting as can the blade itself. Very low-profile appearance if you're planning to do "Covert Tactical" stuff & if wielded properly---can be a fearsome dueling sword! STELLAR KUDOS TO BUD-K FOR DEBUTING THIS MASTERPIECE--MAY LOOK GOOD DISPLAYED...BUT WILL SERVE BETTER AS A TACTICAL WEAPON.

This was a very great buy. It is shorter than the rest of my collection ( as expected) and still very sharp. The serrated part of the blade was not as sharp as I had hoped, but still very much worth the $15.99. All in all, this is exactly what I expected and a great purchase.

One of the most unique swords in my collection. the delivery was fast, and I have had no problems with this sword.

Great sword, showed up 2 days after buying it, along with the Knights Sword(also great). It came with a small bend on the end, but with my knife sharpener i quickly got rid of it. O, it also came sharp, very sharp. Overall, great buy for only $16.

John Wallace, are you serious about the Wolf? Thats Awesome! I am gonna get this sword eventually for it's amazing looks for display. Looks Awesome!!!!

I was outside chopping Elephant grass with this thing and a wolf came out of the woods. Had to kill it before it killed me. It went in straight, came out clean. Wolf was gone. If I hadn't have had that thing on me, I would have been in traction for a week! Thanks, Budk.

A good all around weapon at a low price and it comes sharp

Great sword with a fairly sharp blade, great for collectors, or for slicing things for fun only problem is the handle's leather came off, but i replaced it with duct ape, over all AMAzing!

I bought this sword about 4 months ago, I loved it. The only problem was that the belt loop was two big, but I tape it down. All in all, this sword is great.

I loved this sword but there was one or two small things I didn't like one it wasn't very sharp which isn't a big deal two the handle wrap came undone but nothing a little work cant fix the biggest thing I didn't like is that when the handle wrap did come undone I saw that the handle was welded to the blade so this is not one piece of steel its two other then those thing great sword I plan to get the other ones that have the same handle wrapping

bought this for my son for christmas, it is sweet. cant wait to see his face when he opens it. but than again, i may have a new sword, ha ha.

FOR TEN DOLLARS INCLUDING SHIPPING IT WAS A GONGA!. YES IT IS SHARP AS ADVERTISE.

The only thing i didn't like was that the sheath didn't have a strap on it to hold over your shoulder. Instead it's made like it was for a GIANT BELT because the loop is so huge.

This sword is awesome. It cuts through brush, sunflower stalks, small branches, and even bamboo like butter. The only thing I didn't like was the fake leather wrapping on the handle, I replaced it with paracord and it's much more comfortable.

I picked this up and thought wow I like this a lot the only thing I don't like is the cheap handle wrap its plastic but I will rewrap it with Para cord

This sword is fully-functional, awesome looking, and durable. I took out everything from watermelons, to water bottles with this awesome sword. The only reason I gave it four stars is because the red leather on the handle came off on the first five minutes out of the box. Also, the point of the sword pokes through the sheath if you let the sword slide in vertically. Other than that, for a beginner or a gift, this is a great sword over all.

The sword is very stable,and comes sharp.The only problem i have with it is the red grip fell off after the second day.

My fiancé bought me this and the twin zombie swords. The only reason I didn't give this one five is because of the red leather. It came unwrapped in a matter of minutes. But with a few modifications it stayed put. Other than that its an awesome sword and if ur thinking about it I say go for it it's well worth it.

For the price and a birthday gift that will only hang on the wall I have no complaints... One thing that could be done is the tip of the sheath be built so the tip doesn't stick through it...

I really like the look of the sword, that's why I purchased it in the first place. Unfortunately there are quite a few flaw from my point of view. If your using it for decoration, it's perfect. The sword however stabbed through the nylon sheath not long after receiving it. I also had to redesign the handle, adding weight, because they grip and the balance are just awful. Other than that, I very much enjoy owning this now. Nice and sharp.

I got this sword for a present. It is good the only thing wrong with it is that the red grip came off but it works fine without it.

Only thing kinda wrong was it was a bit dirty. Handle was fine and it came sharp. Awesome for anyone wanting to add to their collection.

to my slight disappointment it was not very sharp and the handle is a bit strange but works no problem for gripping. What do you expect though? for $15 bucks it is a fun toy and quite a wicked looking blade! definitely has an intimidation factor! Was happy to get it and even more excited to use it! (not on people of course) ;)

first thing first is that the sword is amazing its affordable,sharp,durable,and looks cool to show off. the sheathe looks like it should be on a much smaller sword because the tip pierces through the end quite easily. overall amazing for the price.

came fast, good rubber-like grip, razor sharp. zombie ready

just got mine today along with secret agent sword, everything is great except the point poked right through the sheath!!! other than that its a good blade

solid blade, sharp, and quite pretty. good counterpart for the tactical scimitar. only downsides are the hilt wrap and the sheath. though those are slight problems in view of how freakin sweet this sword is.

For when the zombies come!!!!

Good blade, especially for the price. The wrap around the handle is crap, but that is easily taken care of with some paracord (4$ on this site, for 50 ft). Quite sharp, and fairly strong. Wiggles in the middle a bit, but that's okay. Quite long as well.

its a great looking blade ordered it on a Sunday got it the following Tuesday , mine was already pretty sharp but the red wrap fell of within in 5 mins of me playing with it . hoping to find something to replace it with soon :/ other then that its a great deal

this is a cool sword. the teeth have no edge on them at all but with that can be fixed with a dremel. I didn't like the wrap on this thing so I took it off and rewraped it with about 25ft of paracord and it is nice. looks like a waste land blade

This is a good cheap sword to start off your sword collecting habit. But there are pros and cons to this sword.<br /><br />Pros: Cheap- Not bad of a price, under 20 dollars until you get shipping costs. <br />Looks nice- It is a very interesting style and really can match your type if you watch Anime.<br />Light weight- Feels like a feather to me.<br />Fast Shipping- Came by in 2 days (if ordered in the week, weekends than it will be in around 4 or 3 days).<br /><br />Cons: Glued Red Wrappings- It is glued to the stainless steel, so don't mess with it too much.<br />Stainless Steel- Since it is short it isn't too of a big problem (Carbon Steel is golden).<br />Small- I was expecting small, but it is skinnier than expected.<br />Not Sharped- Unlike the last reviewer, mine came dull. In fact it took me an hour and 30 minutes to even make it somewhat sharp. I also found out that the tip of the blade is a different angle than the bottom of the blade, which means you have to sharpen the top a lot more if you want it to be nice and smoothly sharpen.<br />Saw- The "saws" are dull and was not meant to be sharpen.<br /><br /><br />Personal Note: This is really not a bad buy for beginners, but for people really into sword collecting, don't get. I am not saying this isn't good, just real sword collectors really want to use it once in awhile, to feel it. This sword was made as a Show and Tell than Battle Ready.

Over all good blade, nice easy to handle looks cool and strong. Problem serrated area of blade is not sharpen but that could be left up to opinion. Also sheath is not the one in pic the one that came with it looks like its for a broader tip blade by far. The tip of the blade pokes though the end bad news, but most of all its a good buy. Get two. PS you did not kill a wolf send me pic email

says its razor sharp i guess they forgot to sharpen mine and its a little cheaper feeling than i thought it would be.

I just got this, and took it on a camping trip. I put the sheath on my belt, and took off, and immediately wounded my ankle. The point of the sword penetrated the sheath, and stabbed me while I was walking. It's a cool looking blade, but quite dull except for the tip (ouch). I'll have to see how it sharpens up. The red wrapping on the handle came off the first time I used the blade for cutting underbrush. It lasted all of 10 minutes.

well the materials should be good it is 440 which is good for stainless. however while I like the style and handle the blade is uber thin. Feel that if I were to cut something with these may bend or warp since I am on the strong side. decent for price but nothing id take out when something goes bump in the dark.

The sword is ok you have to sharpen it right out the box but the sheath will fall apart in about a week of use.

Good sword definately looks cool I couldnt wait for it to ship, mine wasnt sharp at all but I still think its a nice sword

This sword has an awesome look to it and it is very light, so you can handle it with ease. Even though it looks like rope on the handle its not, it is a cheap, thin cloth. The blade on it is as dull as a rock too. Even though it is dull, it can be sharpened. But for sixteen bucks, it's a good buy.

the sword over all is ok but the blade is not sharp also the red on the handle come of real easy it still cool looking though

do not actualy use this on anything other than flesh/balistics gel/dew bottles filled with water. it will bend and dull pretty damn quick.

Wasn't happy at all with this sword. The wrapping on the handle was already coming loose from the sword and the sheath was cheap and the sword was already breaking through. The blade came sharp though.

The handle felt very cheap. I did not like it one bit.
