This sword is 51 plus inches long and comes with an authentic rough leather sheath that includes a strap to fit on your belt. The blade is a polished stainless steel and it is double edged. The hilt and pommel are made out of chrome plated steel. What really makes this authentic, however, is the brown leather that is stitched tightly around the handle and base of the blade just like the real swords were from Medieval Times.
