Which famous real-life/fantasy sword is this blade modeled after?

I would say it is based off of a basic stereotype for a middle-length (hand and a half) sword. Not anything specific.

I think it is supposed to be a "generic" design, but it is definitely inspired by Medieval European designs. Most notably a celtic style, especially if it were longer.

Don't know if its modeled after anything specific, but I believe it's a Roman style blade, but has Eastern characters along the blade

This is a "show" sword - there is no blade. There is a finish on the wood. You could paint a fake blade on it I guess but that seems to be a waste of a perfectly good weapon.

1055 high carbon.not stainless.will need to keep light coating of oil on blade.this is a real sword and will rust if not properly cared for.

No, it is a genuine sharp sword. I tested it myself. But it looks quite nice and has a great balance.

Historically, some swords were meant to have a sharpened edge(s), like a katana and some swords were not sharpened along the entire blade edge, like a broadsword or highland claymore. Modern replicas, historically accurate and not, are made by different processes by different manufacturers and if one chooses to sharpen a blade, I would suggest checking with the manufacturer before having this done or attempting the process. If you wish to purchase a stage steel/combat ready (or similar) blade, many manufacturers have specific blades that fit the more rigorous specifications that are required by a stage steel weapon.

When I got it , it was very nice. Very sturdy and great paint job. You just have to remember it is a replica, that said it still has a sharp blade to be careful. But loved the one I got.

I'm fairly positive this is a Hanwei forge sword, spec say it's .18 inches thick at the spine. I do not have mine to measure offhand, as it lives in my car with my other gear so I don't forget to bring it to practice.

The sword is stainless steel. Thankfully, it is a quite sturdy blade at that.

It is over a yard long, total, including hilt. The hilt is two handed and 8 inches long. The blade is perhaps three feet long and 6-7 inches or more at the widest point. Its a big sword and only half tang and blunted. It woukd do some damage if swung at someone. It is also heavy especially towards the end of the blade. It wacks against stuff pretty bad if worn at the hip and hangs to the ground. Its a beautiful addition to any collection. But if you want to use it as a costume piece, strap it to your back.

This is a picture off of Google that is definitely the same blade as the one I got:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51t076VDiAL.jpg

It is a beautifully crafted sword w/1065 steel. It feels very good in hand, blade sings when properly handled.

I Believe it is 1045, I saw it on the sword masters web site but amazon had it at a lower price.

I haven't seen both of them side by side, but I have purchased swords from United Cutlery and Museum Replicas (and now Amazon), and my understanding is that the movie prop swords are all the same. This one is not quite as nice a replica as the Glamdring sword - for example the handle is supposed to be a dragon's tooth and so is made of cast resin and looks a little less authentic up close than Glamdring which has a leather-wrapped handle, however it's still a very nice piece.

the sword and the handle is one large hunk of well crafted metal. i believe that the handle is wrapped in a different form of metal to get the particular look though.

It's a really nice sword, got it for my boyfriend and he loves it!... Nerd ;P Only problem (in his opinion) is that it's a dulled blade and meant to be more of a wall mount not a toy haha. I'm pretty sure it's held by one screw and could easily come apart it you swung it around too much. Besides that, it's pretty nice looking, for a sword hahah.

It has a 17" blade with a 5" handle. The sword and scabbard are very nicely done and I would highly recommend this to anyone. Very nice for the price!!

no this is the sword from twilight princess, even though they are fairly similar, they are still different
