QUESTION: I was cruising ebay when I saw it. It was about $40 bucks without shipping and i thought it looked awesome. but of course looks can be decieving. so i searched for reviews and found none. The site i found it on said it was a Carbon Steel blade but did not specify past that. I really like it but don't want to buy a replica.

Here's the site: http://www.topicool.com/sword/movie-replica-swords/medieval-long-sword-knight's-sword-chivalry-crusader-849.html

ANSWER: Hi Randolf,

I haven't seen this particular model, and to be honest, I'm rather wary of it...

Often, especially if there is no independent feedback to prove or disprove it, if it seems to good to be true... Well, it probably is...

The reality is that there really aren't any half decent medieval or fantasy swords under the US$100 price point. Japanese swords are a different story, it is possible to get a functional blade for under US$100 (though still, rarely are they something amazing, but it does happen from time to time).

But yes, alarm bells are rining on this one for me. But if you wish to take the plunge - well, be sure to send me your review!

Best,

- Paul

Well pictures and be worth more than a thousand words usually. However, when making a purchase from ebay it seems to be best to get as much info as you can. The price of $40 seems awfully cheap. Having said that, look further online for some great deals on longsword replicas with descriptions to help you make your choice. One site you might wanna try is www.ultrabladeshop.com
