There’s just something about swords that captures the imagination and resonates across cultures. From Beowulf’s famed sword Hrunting to King Arthur’s own Excalibur, the exquisite dashing swordplay of Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers to katana-wielding wizardry of Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai, swords find their way into some of our most enduring legends, literature, and film.
If you are yourself looking for a fantastic replica of a classic sword style or else a real-life sword or knife of your own, here are a few things that you’ll want to keep in mind.
Sword and Knife Models
There are a wide variety of different sword and knife models available today, depending on your needs.
If you’re looking to go camping, for example, there are a variety of great hunting knives on the market, which you can evaluate according to the length, shape, strength, and sharpness of the blade, the composition of the handle, and many other factors. Even more eye-catching are the many different authentic and replica swords available. Looking to get your gladiator on with a Gladius sword a la Ancient Rome? No problem. Or perhaps you’d prefer an authentic katana straight out of a Japanese samurai movie or anime? Done. Or even newer, custom swords that evoke everything from video games to the zombie and horror genre? Done and done.
From ninja daggers to Full Tang Swords, there’s no end to the wellspring of well-crafted swords available!
Authenticity and Safety
Naturally, any purchaser of knives and swords will want to take into consideration the balance between authenticity and safety. Are you looking for a full-fledged, sharp-as-anything sword, a mere model, or something in between? This, in turn, begs another question: for what purpose are you purchasing the sword? If you’re a collector looking to add to your collection, more authentic models might be the way to go. If you’re looking for a convincing sword to go along with a costume, you may want to look into replica options.
