Side by Side Comparison of: BladesUSA vs Armory Replicas

Overall good quality. Have had it for a month with somewhat regular use. No chips in the paint except that one time I hit them against each other. (also small dent :/) Only problem is that the back strap was made upside down so in order for it to be put on properly the swords would be upside down and fall out.

Got them to mount on my wall. They look great mounted since the guards are flat on one side. They are rather sharp too. Will definitely help should the zombie apocalypse ever come

They are sharp except each blade only has half a holder

A very good pair of blades for the price I paid. The swords are slightly longer than the picture makes the look, and you can wield one of the blades just as easily as both. While the blade, and particularly the point, is very sharp, it still requires some sharpening if you wish to use it for combat. I would note that it is extremely difficult to wield both swords together as one blade, as the picture may suggest, if, like me, you are improperly/self trained in sword handling. However the swords are very durable, and perfect for what I paid for.

These swords are sharp, strong and very light. You can feel that the blade is solid and the bloods look beautiful. Definitely I blade worth showing off. Wish I could post a video on them.

Overall, very sturdy, light, and great for practice. Ive been using these swords for years, although i mostly just use the right handed sword. After a while, the wrapping on the handle came undone but this wasnt anything some cushioning and duct tape couldnt fix and make better. The paint has worn over time and it has dulled, but it can always be fixed up. It is comfortable and easy to use.

Luv it! Goes great with my man cave horror collection! Highley recommend

Awesome sword

I received my products very promptly and they great price, very sharp too.I would recomend this to anyone thinking about getting a new sword...

Sharp. Hubby loves it.

Great price. Bought as a gift. Arrived timely.Was sharper than expected. Sheath is a bit cheap, arm strap a bit short, but overall for the price it was great.

got here fast...not very sharp like people say its a cool sword thought i like it a lot and its a great addition to my zombie collection

Very cool and work well.

Not the best quality, but the are sharp and fun

Great value

I got this for my 12 y.o. brother. Edge is not very sharp but the tip is. Look good. But two blades dont stay together. They are not magnetic and dont clip to each other. Case is made of sturdy fabric but u have to be careful sliding swords in it because case is tight and sword points are sharp and it is possible to cuy youtself. But for 12 y.o. its a pretty good blade.

These are fun. They look cool. The handle is a little thin and they were not very sharp. They were fun to play real fruit ninja in the front yard(do not do near pets, kids, others, or while drinking. They are one of my go to weapons in case of a zombie attach. For the price they are great. Would of given a 5 star but I did not like the grips.

I'm giving these swords a good rating because my demands upon them are low and my expectations are realistic.I'm using them as props for my daughters cosplay outfit, they look good and have decent structural integrity. You might want them for practicing forms or to whack weeds, but if you are in the market for a cutting sword I hope you know enough to be shopping above this price range.

I am impatiently awaiting the Zombie Apocalypse! I love this sword.

My only complaint is that it wasn't sharp. Everything else was perfect.

Feels more like a machete then a sword. Overall great Wall decor because it looks soo dangerous.

Fun! The only not so great thing was getting it out of the sheath the first time - it really didn't want to come out!

The sword itself looks and feels awesome in your hands. Sunk it into a wall in my apt and went halfway through two 2" by 4"s no problem. Took off the stupid green string on the blade when I got it, I mean really, what is that for? The green string slides on the handle and I forsee just removing that in the future also. The scabbord sucks! Cheep construction and the shoulder strap is too short and too thin for comfort. Duct tape would probably work better. For the price tho I am deffentally ready to hack my way through the zombie crouds. Happy hunting folks.

The sword kicks, totally cool, but the sheath does have the shoulder strap sewn to the seam of th sheath it's self.I'll deal with it.

nice and all but pretty much just two swords don't look like they really are just one. shall turn them into a dual set for the lower back

item as described. The tip is razor sharp. The handles are my biggest complaint and didn't think they'd be like this... they are only cushioned on one side so when you grip it, its very uncomfortable as the half that sits in your palm, you're just holding a flat piece of metal with wrap and no cushion at all. Need to cushion the 1 side for each of the blades for you to be able to comfortably swing them and without it hurting your hands/palms and fingers after a few swings and makes it an unbalanced feeling swing but you can duct tape some cushion on the other side or do whatever you want to make it even across both sides of the blades. Besides this i really like them and is a good deal.

The sheathe is absolute junk and the stitching holding it together came apart almost immediately. The swords are cool though and I keep them laying in front of my tv.

Sheath is garbage!! Sword seems strong n came very sharp... I returned cuz didn't like flat handles on em... good for mounting on wall though to

I got these for throwing (I like to throw knives and sharp objects). They are relatively durable -- the hand guards fell off fairly quick. However, the blades were able to cut into 2x4s and were fairly sharp. The quality is on par for the price you pay. I would definitely NOT get these for a child because they are fairly dangerous. As for throwing, they throw well with a no spin technique (similar to a javelin throw). I stuck them in many different types of trees. I probably wouldn't buy them again, but they work well for what they are. Will be excellent for Halloween outfits. Fairly good for throwing. It all depends on what you intend to use them for.

you get what you pay for, but was disappointed when I opened it to find the sheath was dirty as if drop on the floor several times and there was a large hole in the bottom of it ... I understand it is a cheap set but if I sold it i'd make sure it was clean and not tears...only because they didn't care how it was sent out I wouldn't buy it again

Came with some scratches on it but my dad still liked it after sharpening it himself.

Green strapping came damaged on mine and needed to be re wrapped, glued and melted back in place. Was a pain project but beautiful results. This is a display peice do not try using it but looks awesome on the wall or shoved through a dummy mask

Like most comments the sword fell short of expectation. Dull, and my shoulder strap was missing. I wrote to them, not to hear a word back. Cool sword for a back up weapon, but would rather just order another machete like my wife's. Don't get me wrong it seems like a sturdy one piece, as soon as I sharpen it and cut something with it I'll post a update. Excellent for the price though and would make zombie killing look sweet.

Its not bad. I got it as a cute gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. Its not sharp what so ever. I dont know much about knifes so i guess you could try sharpening it? I just got it for mostly looks.

This is a pretty cool looking machete. It is better quality than I was expecting. It was very dull when I got it, but it took an edge quickly. I still haven't try it out in the woods, but it feels sturdy enough to use.

My real complaint is that the sword I got in the mail looks nothing at all like what was advertised, still that's not to say i don't like it, I do, enough to keep it, but I should receive what I paid for no? Still the sword is of good quality it was delivered swiftly and Ihave no problems with it really

Its two swords with a half circle hand protecting thing. No magnets or any way to secure the two together should you desire to have one functional sword. The handle is uncomfortable and hard to grip and unfortunately this lack of proper grip made me end up in the hospital with nine stitches in my thumb. Still they are cheap effective ninja swords and I was able to get a refund no problem so theres something to be said for that.

I'll admit I enjoyed it for a day or so, the sharpness wasn't up to par. I had to sharpen it myself, which I understand is something to expect with an inexpensive purchase. But something completely unacceptable was that the blade itself started to warp and break halfway along the bridge of it. I wouldn't recommend buying this if you're looking for something to last you a while.

Very cheap even for the money. Not what I was expecting.

it's ok,but i was under the impression that it "locked" together which it doesn't. but it's not bad

Ones 1/15th of an inch longer than the other. Not a problem in battle but God damn irritating up on my wall... Not amazingly sharp, but OK, when I got it, it was poking through its original box. Was pretty much thrown into its box. They don't fit together how its portrayed and the guards are angled down, so anyone you deflect with it is likely to slice your up real good. The sheathe is slightly too short so its just barely poking through them, not a huge deal but I've already pricked myself a few times. Good weight though. Nice design and I actaully have no complaints about the handle. People keep complaining its too rough but they are meant to be so they catch more grip, you'd suppose to wear gloves. Overall it's not great but for 20 bucks and free shipping its OK.

I recently ordered this set of ninja swords, and when they arrived the tips were bent. The damage is quite significant. If the tips were simply bent, they would appear as a "J" shape at the point. These are bent over even further, making a "U" shape.The seller requires me to pay for shipping to return the item as well as to receive a new one, so I will be attempting to either bend the steel back in place myself or cut the point off entirely. I've only received one damaged sword in the past, and that other company shipped me a new one free of charge. I was hoping to have a good customer service experience here, as well, but that was not the case. The damage on the swords is significant and easy to see. It did not occur during shipping (the swords came bent inside the sheath with no damage to the sheath), so the company should have noticed the problem when they packaged it. This makes it their fault and they should make it right. Instead, they are using the customer to perform their "quality control" for them. Very disappointed in this seller.

Swords came bent to the right straight out of box higly disappointed. Not even worth putting on display.

It broke

They were very uncomfortable. One was bigger than the other and the backstrap was very sucky

Terrible quality. The hilt will unravel, the blades will chip, and the sheath will fall appart.

Blades are uneven one longer than the other only one was sharp

This is a case where you get less than you pay for.
