Stainless Steel Fantasy Display Sword with Black Lacquered Scabbard - 43 Inch

A 43-inch blade with three fullers running its length.

Fullers are the grooves forged along a blade's flat. On historical swords they existed to take weight out without taking strength out — a shallower blade that still holds its spine. On a display piece they do something else: they catch light along the whole length, so the sword reads from across a room instead of only up close.

This one carries three of them. The blade is stainless steel at 43 inches overall, and it comes with a black lacquered hardwood scabbard. Lacquer over hardwood gives a deep, even black that doesn't scuff the way painted finishes do.

Who buys this one. Fantasy collectors, mostly — people building a wall, furnishing a game room, or looking for the centrepiece of a costume display. It's also the length that photographs well, which matters more than people expect when the sword is going somewhere visible.
