Forged in the flames of some mythical blacksmith's shop in the heart of a dark forest that only appears to humans every 100 years? Nope, but this sword's close enough. Expertly crafted of Damascus steel by hardworking real smiths, the blade has a "flame" profile that would inspire any hero from the annals of legendary fiction and myth. The handcrafted grip is made from wood and bone, embellished with brass pins and spacers. The guard is artistically assembled with layers of stainless steel, brass, and wood and is also decorated with brass pins. The manufacturer of this sword has not provided a sharp cutting edge on the blade. Includes leather scabbard with a shoulder strap and retaining strap.
