So many replicas of sting are very very high priced. This one is not and it is a nice replica, not the Franklin mint level with sharp edges but nice. This one has dull edges because it is for looks only. It is worth the money though. It is all metal. So if you don't want to pay those high prices then this is the one for you. It looks real nice.
I really like the look and feel of this sword, but it is bowed down the entire length of the blade. I doubt the elven smiths would approve. It will look very nice on the wall, but easy to see while holding it. Still happy with it though.
