trueswords.com is about the only place i buy my stuff. dont buy anything without asking me if you dont know what your talking about. ill save you a lot of time, money, and heartache haha. just looking at the links i know which swords your looking at. they are display only. meaning you shouldnt even swing them, let alone hit anything.
i have/had the 80 dollar one. it was very pretty, but i tore it apart for the guard and handle parts. it had a half tang (blade only goes half way through the handle), was glued together, had no pegs, and the steel is horrible. I know what i was getting into though and bought it for the sole purpose of a cheap 1 time beater with aftermath spare parts.
my basic question is, what do you want a sword for. looks, functionality, or both.
