Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 21 reviews.
The sword looks great. The overall quality is good especially for the cost. I would buy it again even if I knew everything would be exactly the same. If I had to critique something, I would say that the cross guard could be a better fit and the sheath could be a tighter fit.
Purchase was easy, and shipping was fast. Definitely more on the two handed side of bastard swords, but still able to be wielded single handedly.
This is the first sword I've ever owned, and it's beautiful and exceptionally well-crafted. I'm a proud owner of this sword, and I hope the Dragon Whisperer sword I ordered in June arrives soon.
Very pleased with this sword. The cross guard was just a tiny loose and makes some noise. Other than that it’s incredible.
Blade was not in line with the handle, pommel was slightly off, bladed with tilted fit in the guard. Blade itself was nicely made, very exact fullers. Pretty inferior to my Windlash and Warden overall.
I am highly impressed with the fit and finish of The Vanguard Sword. It is an amazing product for the price. The balance of the sword makes it really easy to handle and weight is surprising.
Superb quality, excellent service, great shipping time, and very affordable price. 10/10. Will buy from again.
Sword arrived quickly. Rom put my licensing information on the box so it got through customs with ease. The way the blade sits in the cross guard isnt perfect but the sword feels amazing over all. Love it.
I LOVE THIS SWORD! I'm not some sort of sword expert so i don't have anything technical to say about it but i really like it. I'm gonna use my own belt though as the one that came with it is a bit small, i can wear it but i have to use the first notch. I will definitely be buying more from you guys in the future!
Once again I an impressed. Romance of men has done it again. Providing Quality swords at affordable prices! The Vanguard is a beautiful sword. A great rendition of the bastard sword . Tough, fairly sharp , good weight distribution and feels good in the hands .
An excellent sword - completely satisfied with my purchase! No complaints! :)
Overall I rate this sword highly for its functional virtues. A few notes: I would not call this an ‘arming sword’ it is bigger than a one hand sword. Strictly speaking, this sword is a hand and a half or ‘bastard sword’. Also, my sword came with the pommel decoration detached. It was fixable using JB Weld epoxy. Otherwise, the sword is great. The blade is straight, sturdy and well finished. Edit: I see the store page title is now calling it a hand and a half sword.
Loved the look and feel of it.
Love this sword
Sword was very nice looking, straight grind lines. Very clean. Handle is good. For the price it is a VERY nice piece. I haven't cut with it yet so my opinion is still forming.
Great sword.
No issues… Cant wait for my next sword I ordered!
Exceeded expectations. Hard to believe at this price!
Haven’t had a chance to actually use it yet, but in terms of craftsmanship and aesthetics, easily a 5/5. Has a good balance and feel to it, arrived sharp and oiled, and has a scabbard and belt to accompany it. Will probably buy another sword from this company at some point in the future.
A very solid blunted trainer for the price. The scabbard is a great bonus, but I have already noted minor warping that has caused the blade to stick slightly when fully sheathed.
Great sword. I fight primarily with a longsword but this single handed with an off hand option works well.
