Definitely not worth the price paid; sorry for you! Our Windlass Suontaka has a better fit&finish. Blade looks really good though. What do you mean by ''our suontaka'' ? Are you selling swords ? lol I have a Suontaka and yes, this is a great sword mine and my mans Suontaka = ours?

Perhaps Cold Steel is not focused on historically correctness as much as they are trying to make a sword that will appeal to their fan base or the public in general.
The people on this forum are a select few who have great knowledge and experience with swords . I suspect Cold Steel's average buyer is not a "sword Guy"
I have 4 Cold Steel swords , 4 Windlass , and a few other brands. I buy them because they appeal to me, not so much because they are historically correct.

This looks to be an 'okay' sword, but with CS prices rising into the VA/DSA/DT range, I can't see it being a big seller. I would consider it if within the $275-350 range. It IS nice looking...but so was my EX-WIFE. A friend recommended this Cold Steel Viking sword. Cold Steel Viking sword He has been a swordsman/martial artist for 50 years, and compared this Cold Steel blade to a Ruger firearm. May not be the fanciest, but they work.
