I was doing some random web browsing this afternoon and i came across a company called True Swords.

They've got a sweet looking replica of Ichigo's Bankai sword.

My mom has complained for the last several years i never give the family good gift ideas. I think i just found several years worth of them

KNETTER2000 · 2006-09-10, 18:44

That is kinda cool....

Pity that these things will never ever get through customs here.. it will be confiscated..

even when you say it's for a collection.

They should make a Shikai Zangetsu too.. 1/1 scale that is

I wonder if you can still lift that enormous thing

taelmx · 2006-09-10, 19:11

I already bought the "non-bankai" sword. Its really big......REALLY big........and my mom took it away....

Has anyone here bought from this site? I have a few questions, first is wether or not this site is reliable, and I live in Canada, if I ordered from this site how long might it take to get here, and lastly is the quality of the swords any good, I read alot of good reviews about the swords on that site, but I thought I might as well ask here anyways.

Rurik · 2006-09-11, 13:53

If oyu are surprised about its actual size, you will be more surpise of its actual weight, I can’t recall it, but that link should have it, as I normally browse in this web Page, I love swords.!!!

I have never bough in this page, but this page has been said to be the best source for getting exotic blades, not only from anime series but from movies, Games, and Legends.

Of course, I doubt you can do attacks like Ihichgo wiht his sword.

Well I think swinging that sword will be difficult enough regarding its size and weight...

The Blood Rayne Blades look kinda dangerous o.ô

just act really surprised when they start talking to you directly..

WHAT!! you can SEE me!!? you must be close to death! Where's the hollows at!!

And next time you open your eyes you're strapped to a bed and some docter is giving you another sedative.

I bought from them, just make sure that your mom doesn't see it, otherwise she will take it

Nuzzles · 2006-09-11, 18:22

They seem far too cheap to actually be of good quality. I'd rather forge my own, but that wouldn't be happening any time soon.

hehe who doesnt love swords

? im saving for a tatoo that is gonna go along my whole back, and of course its gonna be a badass sword

even though i need about 2500 swedish kroners more :P
2500 = about 200-250 american dollars(i think ;P). hard to save for that when you go to school

and want to party at the weekends.. ;P

I was thinking of the price also, why so damn cheap? when ive searched for katanas to buy they cost about 8 - 10 times more..=/

after looking a while on that webpage, i noticed why they probably are so cheap, they look childish against the real professional swords. at least i thought so =/ at least many of the swords did.. but would be cool to hang up on the wall or something

IMSabbel · 2006-09-12, 09:33

Well, you can get 50$ katanas, too. Just stamped steel, quick polish, cheap handle, and its dont.

The reason why you can get 15K$ katanas is just because there is a market for them from people who want to pay LOTS of premium for better quality and handwork, while for fangear that is mostly bought via pocketmoney that isnt true in the same extend.

Nope. The high quality katanas are hand-made thats why they are so expensive.
And the Swords on this website are probably made in a factory.
Maybe you also need some sort of license, to claim yourself a Katan forger.

I think is more a certificate that you are a Sword forger, rather than a licence.

Or as that there are houses that have century old tradition in forging swords, So a Muramasa or Masamune Blade, should be very expensive.

So, it also depends who is the one making the blade, but yeah, those others that are not that expensive are mass produced.

I will say no, they don't have sharp edge, but lucky for you they also sell this:

So you can go on to decapitate people wiht your Ichigo Bankai Sword.
