I'm looking for this sword for my son who is a high school senior at a military school. Why such a large price difference from the one at school

Dear ship2shore, Thank you for contacting us. The school that your son attends has the right to set the prices for the sword, just as we are. The school may have a discount with a supplier that allows them to sell this sword to their students at a cheaper price.

Sorry, this sword doesn't match the product number you are looking for. Hope you find the right one!

My guess is that it costs a bit to get the NSF review and approval stamp(nothing is free). This knife is selling for appr. 20% less than the same model with a stamp that does nothing to improve the less expensive model's equal and thus excellent performance. The $ difference is better in my pocket than theirs.

Amazon won't ship it to Australia for some reason, but some of the third party sellers will (navigate to the Dragon Dagger page and look under "More Buying Choices" to the right of the screen). It will cost you more, but most of them have it in stock now.

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

There are two models. Most expensive has the San Mai laminated blade, and a lesser expensive one that uses just high carbon steel. Mine is the lesser kind. I love my knive, the San Mai would be if you were near lots of salt water or excessively wet climates that could cause excessive rusting.

I have noticed the price displayed on Cold Steel's website is ALWAYS exorbitantly high. I like Cold Steel knives very much, but I would never buy from their website, when the self same knife can be had at a more reasonable price...like here at Amazon.

yeah, here: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/sniper-rifles/well-china/well-warrior-l96-bolt-action-spring-rifle-w-bipod-and-scope-mb01c.html you'll be out $120, but it's worth it.

I've only ever used cold steel so I can't compare I do know Hanwei specializes in the katana and they range from low end to high end. If u don't want to spend too much but want a super tough katana get the cold steel but if your going learn to use a sword you may want to look more on the Hanwei end.

It would be hard and very expensive to test the metal, (sending it to a lab for a carbon assessment), but from what the sword is advertised as, and from personal experience, I would say it is untreated 1045 high carbon steel. I say "high" carbon, but 1045 is still a pretty soft steel. This isn't meant as a beater, but it still looks awesome and cuts well.

Most likely, they ship it by UPS or FedEx, neither of which will take packages to leave at a Post Office Box. As far as the blade, it is made of 1055 high carbon steel, which is able to withstand battle conditions against other swords, which I hope you never do, for you would probably lose. These are deadly sharp weapons, not toys for the boys.

If you look hard enough you MIGHT find one made in the USA. I looked for a couple weeks and then, bit the bullet. However, I was surprised that the blade was not marked as such and has held up to some pretty good beatings! I playing it by use I guess you could say. Would I buy another one, if the price is right :)

I think it actually comes down to the seller, and maybe this one is covered by prime? It's the newer model of the two and offers more torque. In fact I priced this drill at Home Depot before I purchased it on Amazon and it was about $70 out of store. This is one of the few Ryobi products that is actually cheaper in Amazon. And as much as I use mine, it has been a great investment.

I would assume that means against similar nerf brand swords? We have a few of those and this is a more sturdy version of them. I have two boys and they often "battle" master sword verses nerf. It's made very similarly but seems to be of better quality maybe or a harder material? It's slightly different but I think in a good way. Hope it helped!

why are you guys and gals saying this is a great item when you can not take it to anime cons (metal blades never allowed) and it is not a well made sword? so what is so great about spending 60 or 70 bucks for something that is neither useable for a cosplay piece or for real? It would appear that you spent the money, knew it was a piece of junk when it arrived but tried to justify your purchase somehow by saying it was awesome even tho you got ripped off. Buying cheap swords for no purpose, except it looks like the anime, is pointless imo. But you bought it so, you have to live with it, sorry to hear you got burned but glad others gave a fair warning not to buy this version. why are you guys and gals saying this is a great item when you can not take it to anime cons (metal blades never allowed) and it is not a well made sword? so what is so great about spending 60 or 70 bucks for something that is neither useable for a cosplay piece or for real?
