I‘m used to the excellent quality of DSA products but here I‘m additionally positively surprised the engravements are not simply etched, but real depth profiles,absolutely beautiful!! this is my fifth DSA sword and I regret no one so it won’t be my last.

I’m wholly impressed with not only this remarkable sword, but Darksword Armory as a whole. The sword itself is beautiful, and you can really feel the quality of the blade just through the simple act of wielding it. On top of that, Darksword Armory was very accommodating and understanding with my special requests for the blade, and finished it far quicker than they quoted. And as if that’s not enough, they also sent along a free gift, easily the best gift I’ve ever received from any place I’ve ever ordered from. I can’t thank them enough, not just for the gift, but for producing the blade to my exact specifications and crafting such a superb sword. A 10/10 experience all around.

It’s a little sharper on one side, but it’s a beautiful blade. The only problems I have are with the scabbard. It took some elbow grease to take the sword out the first time, and ever since I took it out it didn’t want to fully go back in. I had to force the sword back in the scabbard. However, after that the sword appears to go into the scabbard fine. A little on the difficult side, but it works. The last thing is that I have no idea how to tie the scabbard, is there any resource on how to tie it in the blog section that I’m not seeing?

All in all, I’m very pleased with this blade! 5 stars well deserved!

Hi Michael,
Very strange. Please make sure to keep your swords in a environment that is not too humid. Surface rust can be removed quite easily, luckily. You can view our sword maintenance guide. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to do. I would also recommend putting a small amount of light oil afterwards to keep it from rusting. The maintenance guide is found at the following link.

Thank you.

This sword is absolutely beautiful. It’s wonderful to look at and hold, though I recommend doing so with gloves. The fittings picked up a light rust after 4 days of ownership, strangely enough, but the blade itself is fine.

I got to say i am impressed with this blade. After ordering i was having some buyers remorse but after holding it in my hand and seeing the great quality. This sword is a beast, a very nice, well crafted blade. I read complaints the etching was bad but mine is good. Very clear and pronounced. The entire thing is solid, no rattle or looseness. The only thing that kinda took me back was when i noticed the 3 triangles at the tip of mine do not go all the way through the blade. After thinking about it I actually like it better that way. As far as functionality i have no doubt this blade could dish out and take some punishment. Honestly i bought this as a wall hanger/conversation piece and i doubt it will ever see much abusive testing. It is not designed or balanced for combat and i already own a ton of battleswords if i want to practice. It did cleave right through the box it came in, nice clean cut. It also passed the flex test no problem although i should add it is a pretty rigid blade. The only thing i do not like about this sword is its sheath. They should have made the tip of the sheath squared off. Not a huge deal since i dont plan on ever carrying it anyway so i still give it 5 stars. If you are looking for something different this is a cool sword.

The sword i got was exactly as depicted nicely made aesthetically beautiful. , however it seems that during the quench starting id say about 8 in from the tip. the sword was twisted slightly and bent. This makes it have an awkward swing it likes to turn in the hand. Overall well made but i am sad it arrived to me this way.
