Pirates of the Caribbean Swords ReviewedIn many ways, the official pirates of the Caribbean swords were a big disappointment. Many sword enthusiasts were looking forward to what was promised to be a quality functional replica, but instead the final product was – like so many other movie swords – nothing more than a decorative wallhanger...
While it comes with a fairly rustic looking wall mounted frame and is supposedly a limited run of 3,000 pieces (which in the sword industry, isn’t particularly limited at all) many people (myself included) were somewhat dismayed to hear that this US$249 sword – which could have so easily been a carbon steel replica – was instead made from cheap stainless steel...I suppose for their intended purpose as movie collectibles, the ‘limited edition’ Pirates of the Caribbean Swords fit the part and it does look quite similar to the one wielded by Jack Sparrow sword in the movie. However, I am of the firm opinion that a non functional display sword is a bit hokey. After all, with no substance to it, you might as well save yourself $220 and pick up one of the much cheaper Jack Sparrow Swords like this one, which is – at least as functionality goes – no different than the ’official version’. Sorry guys, but while the movie was a pretty good swashbuckling adventure, the replica Jack Sparrow swords are less functional than a mop you might have used to swab the decks with...
