What is the functional level of a sword that is NOT described as “Fully Functional”?
If a sword does not state “Fully Functional” , it is deemed a “display” piece. That is, it replicates the original in looks but not in overall strength and functionality. But rest assure, even though our display swords are less expensive than their “Fully Functional” counterparts, they are NOT “cheap” in quality. They are still hand crafted by the same artisan sword smiths in the sword making capital of the world, Toledo, Spain, who create our “Fully Functional” swords. Our display swords, like our fully functional swords, are NOT toys or cheap machine made pieces that fall apart. They can be dangerous if not handled properly. Collectible Swords USA also carries “display” swords from additional suppliers that are of a lesser value and meant strictly for the display board or stand. These are not meant for reenactments or faux battles. However they too are just as dangerous and must be treated with respect, safety and do diligence.
