Thought about buying this myself as it looks really darn good to my eye and I think it is a steal for 240€ but as I think I should save up for Japanese stuff & trips I am really thinking I should pass this one.

They look good with prices which are too good to be true. I’d need to see some reviews before taking the plunge, theoretically at least.

Those rubber caltrops look...cool but not 39e worth of cool... Mostly because I'd want about 100....

Is the "iron"/rubber thing some sort of legal runaround, a joke, or are they sincerely selling fake caltrops?

Well, if you are getting a good sword price, what's a few more euro for some caltrops? ![;)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I'm tempted but even the modern made market is so flooded right now that there are other things at the top of my list. The USD is good right now and this might be the time to take advantage of it, if you are using them. Cheers GC

My spirit was weak so I asked about the sword. One in stock was already sold so I jumped in line for the next one they'll make and chose sharp option.
Arma Bohemia has products from various Czech manufacturers. I am not sure who makes this particular sword for them.
I think the rubber caltrops are to be used as props.

Well forgot to update about this. Got my sword at the beginning of december. There was postal strike in Finland and this sat pretty much one month in some Finnish storage space.
This is pretty ok sword. Smaller in length than I was expecting. I like the pommel and double fuller is nice (even though one side has uneven fullers). I ordered sharp and it is maybe kinda somewhat sharp. The decorations on the guard are croocked and not straight, looks bit bad aesthetically. Also they slotted in guard really in there, might be seen in the pic, not sure if it shows up. I have some more pics too but the 1MB size limit is stopping me as I kinda don't want to resize and rescale images too much.
This weighs 1300 grams so it is quite heavy for a sword of this size but so much of the weight is in the big pommel. In overall I am kinda happy with the sword and it was about what should be expected for the very cheap price. Their more expensive swords might very well be better. However I am letting this go to make travel budget for my trip to Japan next summer. I think international shipping cost from Finland is raising much too high for me to sell swords any more. This fits in package under 100 cm but even shipping package of that size to European countries seems to be way too expensive for these cheap swords. I intended to sell this through SBG but just looking at the shipping cost (excluding Sweden & Germany), it is just not reasonable to sell it even in Europe as shipping costs are so high.
