Swordsswords.com...........Questionable.

(Lutz, Fl.)

My first expierience with them was decent. Pretty fast shipping......crappy packaging. It was Ok though.....my sword wasnt hurt in any way. The next time was a replica Blade sword of the daywalker. It arrived fairly quickly only to open it and find rust on the blade. I was not too happy. I called them about 4 times before somebody answered. They said no problem......to leave it in its shipping box and UPS would pick it back up. once they recieved the damaged sword they would ship out another. Ok....a few days went by...they emailed me with a tracking number. Another Blade sword arrived and what did I find..........rust again. I called again and they had me repeat the same process. The third time wasnt a charm for me. RUST AGAIN!!!!!! I called and this time the customer service guy sounded annoyed and gave me excuses for rust on the blade due to overseas shipping....blah...blah...blah. He told me to use steel wool and oil to remove it. that wasnt going to work for me. Finally finally we came to an agreement.........my credit card was creditited the amount (it was on the statement...so it was legit) and I used that money to order the same exact sword form Trueswords.com.

Guess what......thiers didnt have any rust.....lol.


So all in all......Swordsswords.com does have very nice prices.....but its a crapshoot. You dont know whats going to be in that box.

swordswords.com not bad could be better
by: Arvald

I ordered a Kukri from them, it was the carbon steel one not that peice of crap with holes in the blade. came in good packaging, and got here fast, when i took the sword out of the box id did have some rust on it which wasnt a big deal to me i cleaned it up fairly quickly, but the tip of the blade was severly messed up, like someone tried to stab a thick peice of metal with it.

managed to get the tip fixed with several hours of work on a sharpening stone, it was only 20 bucks so i suppose i cant complain much as it is an awesome tool, nice and sturdy and replaced my axe and large knife when camping. all in all they are not bad but could be better, very good for if your short on cash.

year and a half later... where is it?
by: Valik

I ordered two swords from them, both of them bleach swords. I got the first one and the other one was on back-order. I then get a call one day saying that they did not know when they would get a new one and asked me if I wanted to wait for it to come in or get a refund. I asked for a refund. I waited about a week and never got one. So I emailed them I believe 3 times and was ignored. I then called them and they never picked up. So here I am almost a year and a half later and I get an email that it was finally shipped, though I did not receive a tracking number. Ok I thought what the hell at least I will get my money's worth. HA! I should have known better. It has been almost 3 weeks since the email telling me it was shipped, yet there is no sword at my house, I know UPS ground doesn't take that long to deliver. So I have spent the better part of an hour today emailing them with no response and trying to call them. Well I have called their toll free number probably 8 times now and the local number once and no one has picked up. I wish I had never done business with them.

Scam. Enough said.

I ordered a Senbonzakura Carbon Steel sword (made from the Bleach Anime series) and a Birds Around The Sakura Tree (also carbon steel). I paid around $75 or so for them and when they arrive, it turns out they are Stainless steel. To test this theory, i removed all oil and whatnot from the blade and left them in a corner of my room. not once ounce of rust. Carbon steel rusts EASILY unless liberally applied with oil. Swordsswords.com is a scam and they shouldnt be trusted.

I enjoy Swordsswords because I am a a collector and they always seem to have what I need next for my collection with a beautiful plaque to come with it.
