It’s just beautiful.
Seen many reviews, but it looks to me exactly like the sword in the Boorman film.
I’m 54, wanted this since I was 10.
There are enough reviews out there to give specs and such, but pictures and videos for some reason fail to truly capture the elegant shape of the blade.
You have to hold it.
It’s really quite remarkable, or maybe I’m just overwhelmed by fulfilling a childhood fantasy.
Regardless it’s a spectacular piece and one that I am very happy to own.
Thank you DSA

Ever since seeing the original movie Excalibur by John Boorman in 81, I’ve wanted this sword. By chance I learned about Darksword Armory, did my homework on the company and contacted their support.

I asked a lot of questions and Chris over with support was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and patient. On a personal note he couldn’t have been nicer.

I ordered the sword and it was swiftly shipped to me. The protective packaging was very well done and after unwrapping I got a good look. This sword is amazing, the fit and finish is really something to see in person. Everything shines and reflects light. Truly a beautiful specimen, I couldn’t be happier. I plan to purchase more from Darksword in the future. A very good company to do business with! Happy Customer!

I just recovered my limited edition Excalibur, and with some misshapes with delivery believing my Excalibur was stolen. And with darksword excellent customer service, and the help of the police My sword is in the rightful hands. I don’t need to cut or chop, this sword is not meant to hack.

It is to to unite all people, thas this sword and stunning beauty could unite all people. It doesn’t shake or rattle, the fittings are fully pinged this sword as many as I have held said there battle ready but one slash and they barke.. Just by holding Excalibur, and I can tell that this sword is fully battle ready. And I want to thank Darksword for this well deserved review they out did themselves, Sword lovers know what other sword lovers want in a sword.

Mine also too a little longer do to on Disability, I can’t buy out right so payments and this is also were you can stop buying wall hangers and buy a real sword. For now on I am getting my swords from here, and some other Items that my eye and heart is set. upon.

Like others, I saw Boorman’s “Excalibur” in the theater with my Father….in 81 I think. He was into the Arthurian legends. I remember the second Excalibur breached the lake.
I was enthralled. The beauty of the sword lies in its simplicity. No unnecessary carvings, runes or any of that jazz. To this day I still believe this is the most beautiful swords i’ve ever seen!
This DSA Excalibur is beautiful. Well balanced, SHARP and they upgraded the scabbard for me! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from DSA again. This is a SOLID, well forged Sword. Beautiful job guys!

Do you have the Lady of the Lake working there at Darksword Armory? I think you must, because my Excalibur feels like the real thing to me. Not a beautifully made reproduction, but Arthur’s actual sword.
I saw the movie “Excalibur” when it came out in 1981. I was 14, and it made a huge impression on me. When I hold this sword in my hand, I can hear my 14 year old self crying out in an agony of envy and awe. I wish I could travel back in time and give it to him.

Excellent sword. I checked out some YouTube reviews and read a few reviews prior to buying, as well as looked at some of the other offerings from competitors. The wire wrap was my first goal to get as close to the reproduction of the sword in the Boorman film, which is still one of my favorites of the legend since childhood. I was very impressed with the quality, aesthetics, and appreciated the hand forged aspect as well. Quite impressed with the quality and representation of the film sword. Of course the Lindsey sword would have been ideal, but that was out of my price range. Great job Darksword and thank you.

The charm of making must have been utilized during the forging process on my Excalibur #318 of 500. The fit and finish is immaculate and is a superbly rendered replica of the 1981 movie Excalibur, with one detailed exception. It is extremely sharp from the tip to the guard on both edges producing clean razor like cuts on paper wherever I cut along the length of the blade. POB is right at 5.5 inches from the guard. The scabbard fits like a tight glove, just perfect and requires a bit of strength to draw it free. The sword does not budge when turned upside down even when shaking it, great scabbard and of course the most important part as Merlin well knew. The wire wrap is even and clean the entire length and has not one flaw or bulge as I have seen in the past with other companies wire wraps. The pommel is wrought with exceptional attention to detail and is along with the guard polished to a mirror finish. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would advise anyone on the fence to get theirs while they are still available. I certainly am glad I received mine and I highly recommend this Excalibur one of eight DSA blades I now own and consider very highly indeed amongst blades I have collected that cost me six times as much that came without a scabbard. This is an amazing sword at their cost that comes with a perfect tight fitting very high quality scabbard. Thank you DSA!! You made my day today, Excalibur is indeed very sharp, you did it!! I now must go review the other fantastic uber sharp sword I received with the Excalibur ….The Crusader!

since seeing Boorman’s Excalibur for the first time, I have wanted this sword. DSA did not disappoint. it’s everything I expected in appearance. the scabbard is just right in it’s simplicity and easily fitted and secured. fit/finish, it feels quite solid. tried to loosen the pommel, but looks like no one will be ended rightly with it. there is a gap on one side of the blade, not being centered, but it’s not something that’ll take anything away from it, although it should’ve benn caught on inspection. the peen is rather nice, in that it’s squared off, unlike being rounded as I’ve seen in some pix, with four facets to it, so I suspect it’s not crewed on then peened, but it’s possible. quite nice, the peen is in appearance. the wire wrapping is very tight and I’ve had no movement, although granted I havn’t swung it about. too low a ceiling, and the neighbors just wouldn’t get it. also can’t say much to handling as I don’t see Excalibur as a sword to have the crap beaten out of it. there are vid clips where that happens so this sword can take it. there are absolutely no regrets in acquiring Excalibur, despite DSA should be able to do a better job on sharpening. the work they have done on this is impressive all the same. #325

I just received my limited edition Excalibur, #216 of 500. It was my second real sword, and my first darksword armory purchase. Wow! Just, wow! This is my new favorite sword. It feels awesome in two hands. It’s fast, agile, and could do some real damage to Mordred’s forces! I ordered it on the 12th, it shipped on the 14th, and it arrived on the 21st. Not bad coming from Canada to Texas. The free stiletto and shirt are also really nice. Darksword Armory has earned a new fan. I look forward to making my next purchase.
