Conan Sword Carbon Steel Castle sharp ready for battle. Any sword claiming to be razor sharp on a sword field is about to enter battle ready set to to shatter or splinter. Razor swords crease on the side and rip the cracks into deep couging. True castle battle swords had rough hard edge not meant to cut clean but to cleave through armor and still stay sharp enough sword is not for the faint of heart. It is nothing you can & buy at any Renaissance festival. It is built for combat and will cut other swords in half buy shattering them. It rips paper down its blade and has a weight that makes you feel alive. In the blade lies the inscription,” Suffer No Evil yes Who Wields this in the name of Crom” the Conan Heathen God of Steel. No kid can wield this it’s at least it weighs to much. I’m 6”4 and I have trouble with it, you must be strong. You can bang it have granite and it just sings the song of sa’weeeeeeng. If you have not ever owned a sword I do not recommend this it is beautiful but Is designed to kill. It’s very hard to sharpen you need a wet stone and must run it down the blade the slightest miss can cut your fingers off. Please for God sake be careful.......
