Or as I like to call it, anti-shine, full stealth black bladed, ranger sword!!!! Its downright awesome. Its tight fitting and light! It came with a demo test certificate. It was struck against a wooden block on each blade, each flat, and then it was thrust point first and made to bend 5" to each side and the only way it passes is if it takes NO set or bend. I love it and I'm glad I bought it. Great first sword!!

It came with a leather sheath with and I bought a sword frog off amazon.com for it. It hangs great from my side. The blade tapers to a narrow point so its good for poking nasty orcses and came pretty sharp, it just needs that final touch

Congrats! I've never handled any of Cold Steels swords but I have heard a lot of good things about this particular blade. I hope it serves you well.

If you've read the Sil or Children of Hurin, you certainly know that Tolkien already named it for you...convenient!

Congrats. Train safe!

I bought the polished version at the first Combat-Con and love the blade.
Cold Steel makes two versions , one longer and one broader of blade. Both are a wonder to hold.

I also bought the Hanswei hand-and-half (unsharpened) as a tournament blade and the CS poly hand-and-half for practice. Yes, when I die my daughter wioll have a field day selling all my blades.

Still, I think the CS handle a bit better than the Hanwei.

Be sure to take the pommel off to make sure the tang is in good condition. For a while there, cold steel swords had a threaded rod VERY poorly welded onto the end of the tang.

Yay. Nice purchase. Congrats
