I would caution anyone though that the stuff in mall stores is usually of fairly poor quality. OK as a wall hanger, but will likely come apart if actually swung at something.

I showed a friend's son this video about the dangers of cheap swords made with brittle steel. People who are going to get a sword that may see actual use, should get one from Cold Steel, or someplace else that is in the business of making good blades.

Ramius, I assume you may know some good sword makers?

WOW, a invincible table trained to kill a man with his own sword. Screw sword, I'd take the table!

LOL!

Seriously, I figured those swords in the mall are just nice decor and that's about it.
