This Lord of the Rings replica sword is 46" total with a 35" blade. Carried by Strider in the Lord of the Rings movies.
The blade is a high quality, mirror polished stainless steel and is offset nicely by the brushed stainless steel guard and pommel. Always make sure the guard is metal when buying a sword for anything but display. The sheath is fabric wrapped wood. All of the gold accent pieces are inlays, not just painted on.
It's a myth that carbon steel blades are superior to stainless steel blades. Stainless steel actually costs more to produce and is shinier naturally, along with being highly resistant to rust. This makes stainless steel a much better material for display or costume swords. The advantage of carbon steel is that it will bend instead of snapping, and is therefore safer to use in combat demonstrations. Stainless steel and carbon steel both have their advantages - be sure to choose the one that suits the true purpose of your weapon.
At this price point, you will be surprised by the quality of the look and feel. The sword includes an additional knife which has its own hiding place in the sheath. The buckles on the sheath work well for carrying the sword, or for hanging on a wall.
This sword has an expensive feeling weight to it and an excellent center of gravity. You'll be able to tell just by holding it that this is not a toy.
