Full Size Celtic Dress Sword & Scabbard

This sword fits the traditional Celtic dress sword perfectly. And it is not dull it is exactly as sharp as a sword of its weight should be. Very powerful.

The shortsword as a whole is impressive. although MY guard came very slightly crooked, it was not enough to affect the sword's performance in any way. The sword itself is a bit blade-heavy, but This is how these Celtic swords were made at the time. upon closer inspection of the blade, i was pleasantly surprised to see that the sword seemed to be Battle-sharpened, that is, Sharpened enough to cut well but not enough to make the edge thin or fragile. were it not for the shine of the blade, the engravement that read "pakistan", and the fresh smell of leather that i love so much on the sheath, i would have thought that this blade actually came from Medieval Ireland.

After having read the reviews, I have to say that my luck with BudK has been outstanding over the years (more than I wish to admit to!**grin**). Each and every knife, sword or piece of armor has been in perfect condition and always with the items' quality far exceeding the price and this one is no exception. All in all, very nicely balanced and with a respectable edge to the blade.

Very nice blade. I got this for a gift for a friend and after inspecting the sword I did not want to give it up. Very clean, very simple, but at the same time, very elegant. All around great sword.

one of my first swords, but i would say a great buy, the black stained wood handle looks and feels great, very comfortable to hold, and not too heavy either. also pretty darn sharp. the sheath is a little plain, but for a price like this you cant complain. all in all a great sword. i would recommend this for sure.

The blade has a overall twist in it, not bent left or right, just twisted. The rivets on the handle are a little crude, but in a way, they give it an authentic, used, look. Bottom line: I'm glad I purchased this.

I bought this for a short sword to go with my ensemble for the ren-faire and it seems perfectly suited for that purpose. The only drawbacks on this piece that I can find is that the edges are totally flat and 'PAKISTAN' is boldly stamped on the blade, but I believe I can remedy those shortcomings. The scabbard needs to be doctored up a bit as well but is not hopeless. I've given this sword a few swings and nothing rattles or shakes, it is pretty solid but definitely not a battle ready weapon. If you are looking for a display or accent piece, this is it.

Nice weight and feel, a few scratches on the sword but overall a nice sword.

Great sword. There are a few things wrong with it, but nothing that you would notice unless looking for them....<br /><br />The tip of the blade is slightly bent to the one side.<br />Some of the beads on the handle are placed unevenly.<br /><br />Also note that the handle is wooden (It doesn't look wooden in the photo) and very heavy. So other than these things... It is a great buy.

Just got this sword in the mail today. Nice looking swords except for the fact that its not as polished as it appears in the photo. At the guard is a pretty distinctive gap between the guard and the blade. Lots of dirt and muck all over the handle and guard. Perhaps to make it look like it came streight from an archeological dig site. However the photo makes it look all clean and polished. Not razor sharp but it does have a good edge on it. Better edge than I was expecting. Good weight to it, and possibly good thrusting power. All in all, for the price, its a good buy. If you want a great sword your simply NOT going to find one at this price. You get what you pay for, simple as that.

Great wide blade. It's very pretty and the handle is great. The sheath leaves something to be desired though, but that could be because it can only hang up and down and there's no way to secure the sword in the sheath. I prefer something that lets it move with me. Great sword otherwise though!

The blade itself is beautifully finished but the brass corrodes fairly quickly. Its a great addition to my collection, but I wouldn't recommend it as anything other than decoration. The edges are machined and its not possible to sharpen it without damaging the finish. Its still a very nice sword and a great addition for anyone.
