Ok, Good to hear all the comments about stengården. Yes, these so called "fantasy" swords and reproduction swords and knives are for play and or decoration. The average weight of the deepeeka blades are 2-4 kilos and are hammered steel. The fantasy swords mainly produced in pakistan are 1kilo +/- and are stainless steel so no bloody polishing for those of you that are lazy. If you have the money and a deep interest in swords for combat i recommend you pay 300 plus euros and buy a sword that you can fight with if one has the body type (muscles) to hold it longer than 30 seconds in battle. Stay tuned for quality blade for combat in the future. Otherwise do some research here are a few links to look at:

In good faith, no big horn on this viking helmet and no problems for the broken english homesite. Hope it is personal.
