Hi guys,
I was checking out sword shops and this one came out, so I am wondering if any of you has had any experience with this site in the past and if any of you has heard about it, because they have some good deals, but I don't know if they are legit.
Thanks, George

IS there something in particular you are looking at on there, because the quick glance I gave it didn't make me wanna buy from them on price alone. Most of the swords i saw (granted i looked at like one page before responding) can be found cheaper as it is from reputable dealers such as wiwingti and swords of might. I don't know about SOM but Marc at Wiwingti price matches.
So I wonder if there is soemthign in particular that caught your eye for a specific reason on that site.

Access Denied...I'll check'm at home maybe. If what flash says is true, then there's really no need unless they have something the other aforementioned sites don't have.

And even then... if one of those dealers don't they can likely order it for you.

The Grosse Messer there is $169.00 and everywhere else it's $189 or more... that's a good deal, plus you get free shipping

Well like I said Marc at wiwingti will price match... i"d rather have that than risk an unknown dealer and save 20 bucks.

CS Grosse Messer is a sword with occasional quality control issues so you really need a retailer with a good customer service.

Um, doesn't KoA have the Messer for $169 as well? Let me go check... EDIT: Close enough. $169.95. ;D And considering KoA's low shipping costs, it'll be pretty close to that other place but with the best Customer Service in the business, rather than an unknown vendor with little to no rep. Check this out: kultofathena.com/product~item~CS88GMS.htmI hope this helps. ;D -Slayer

Well, I just spent a few minutes navigating around the site and it looks rather legit, even for such a cheesy name.
I looked at their return policy and you'd have 30 days after receiving the item to return it as long as it hasn't been used. This is the only difference I've seen in some of the other sites I've read about. Some sites will back up their products as long as the weapon was used as intended. But once you go slicing thru brick walls and the like, I don't think anyone will take it back.
As far as I can tell tho, Superblades seems legit. They don't seem to have many wall hanger blades. And the ones that they do have said "rat tail tang" or "Stainless steel blade" in the specifications, which is always a plus. But I'd still be weary when dealing with the movie replica's. Yeah, they say high carbon and tempered, but don't go into mentioning the details.
Heck, I'm thinking about looking thru the selection and seeing if anything jumps out at me.

if i do it with koa, it will take about a week to ship, if i do it with the other one, it's in stock, so it ships the next day. on top of that, it costs $16 more... my question is this, since the other store has a 30 day return policy, is it worth trying my luck with them and checking out if it works and then send the grosse messer back if it isn't legit or should I just wait more and pay more and get it from koa?

KOA will match the price. Hell, they'll probably even match the price and give you free shipping. kultofathena.com/buyfromus.htmlAnd look at the first "Price" heading. I think that this superblades.com place might help us get the same quality swords, from the vendors we trust, for less! I think I'm gonna get a Gross Messer from KOA if they'll match superswords price and throw in free shipping. Then again, I could see the appeal in venturing off into new territory. Hell, they might be awesome.
