Seems some Chinese company's made a folded steel HEWS, sharpened and with scabbard. Looks quite good. Now if I could only have 350 bucks fall on my head, lmao.

Pretty impressive stats on the blade...1095 folded CS. The paint job on the handle looks to leave something to be desired, but it is an interesting piece. That thing must be heavy!

Wow they are even calling it the high elven warrior sword from LOTR, that is some Chinese knock-off cohones!

Making a knock-off with a folded steel blade still makes it a knock off.

Yeah, it may be a knock off, but the construction is even better than United Cutlery's. For a knock off, that thing kicks some ass if you ask me. Shame that I don't have $350 spare dollars laying around.
