Although there are a few videos about the sword on YouTube, they are somewhat mixed, just like the opinions about DSA swords. As this is my first DSA sword, I was very excited. As a sword collector and HEMA fighter, I know a lot about swords and own more than 30 swords from various smiths and companies. My personal opinion is that Sage deserves 5 stars as well as DSA. The delivery was very fast and well packaged. The workmanship is very good, especially the polish. The sword is very solid and not too flexible, which was my biggest concern. As I ordered the blunt version of the sword, I can’t comment on the sharpening service. The color (blue) and the leather are also very well done. All in all a beautiful sword that deserves the name “Battle Ready”, I would take it into battle against orcs without hesitation. The sword is relatively heavy and somewhat top-heavy, which I think is due to the shape of the blade. For me, this is not a minus point as it is still very easy to wield. Thumbs up DSA and many thanks.

I have to say the Sage is more elegant and very fun to wield. This would be great vs fleshy opponents, Due to blade geometry I would stay away from hard object. This is truly a great piece, and it came sharp enough, but I spent some extra time with my ken onion sharpener and it hold a very very good edge, I think decapitation would only require a 70% swing due to the weight distribution in the leaf shaped blade

I went through many trial and errors learning about sword forging when building my katana collection and am happy to have hit upon a company of this caliber on my first try!
Blade is superbly forged, nice mirror finish, good sharp edge and tight fitting scabbard. Handle and guard are well fit and tight.
I will be ordering from Darksword exclusively in the future and recommend them for anyone looking for a high quality sword at a very affordable price!

I asked Darksword if they could help me out with a slightly unique variant of this sage sword. They agreed and were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. The blade is beautiful in person. The fitting is superb. The feel of quality is there. You can spend more on brands like Albion if you’d like, but the scabbards from this company are great and getting everything together for the prices they charge is a damn good deal.
She said yes, by the way.
Thank you, everyone at Darksword.

This was my first Darksword Armory purchase and I have to say I was hesitant due to some of the negativity circulated online.
I want to put any fears to rest for anyone considering Darksword Armory and is hesitant due to what I believe to be unfounded vitriol from internet trolls. This team is exceptional and I am so happy with the quality, durability and general standard of the work this team puts out and the communication is absolutely second to none.
I put this sword to work on a regular basis and I dont go easy. Let me say straight up that it has passed every test I’ve thrown at it. The tang is solid as hell. The quality of the steel is perfect. If you’re stupid enough to hack into trees then even the best quality sword will struggle but if you’re a student of HEMA, practical fantasy blades and/or interested in improving your cutting and general sword technique, these weapons will not let you down.
The blade came with factory sharpening which was perfectly acceptable and only needed a simple honing with a whetstone but this was fine because I am aware that shipping regulations put restrictions on this area and it was also a perfect opportunity for me to work on this skill myself.
Great work Darksword Armory! I’m already looking forward to my next purchase.

Great sword in terms of pure beauty and practical use. However two things I must address are that well I ordered the edge sharpened it did come with an edge which while not overly sharp it is able to cut and the tip of the sword is also properly sharp . And this is best used for light cutting, what I mean by that is no hacking hard wood or metal targets with it. Its point of balance is where it is said to be on the site and that combined with its weight definitely make this a two handed sword. The scabbard fits the blade nicely and while it is snug the blade will fall out if turned upside down but not immediately. The one gripe I have is not major and that is there is a small bit of glue visible where the hilt and cross guard meet but I am totally cool with. Overall great buy everything the site says was correct so if you’re a fan of the Lord of the Rings and want a beautiful as well as practical sword I would highly recommend this.
