We have three main classes of swords available at buyingasword.com.

Decorative Swords
Decorative swords are for display only, not for staged or battle-ready combat. They’re made of stainless or carbon steel with thin welds, needing little maintenance. Some feature gold and silver plating with etchings. Priced from $16 to $900, there is a decorative sword available for any budget. Our decorative swords are ideal for decorators, events, and collectors.
Functional Swords
Functional swords, aka Battle Ready swords, range from $50 to over $2000. Made of high carbon steel, they need cleaning after use. With longer, thicker tangs, they’re suited for active use or display. Functional swords are iIdeal for martial arts, re-enactments, or weapon enthusiasts.

Stage Combat Swords
Stage Combat Swords are ideal for staged fight scenes for performers and filmmakers. Stage combat swords feature full tang, handcrafted thick steel blades, welded guards, and pommels. They are built to withstand blade-on-blade combat with thicker and heavier than functional swords, rounded tips and edges. Made of quality high carbon steel, stage combat swords are priced from $90.

How much are you willing to spend on your sword purchase?

Swords can range from $16 to upwards of $2000, so it is up to you as to how much you want to spend on a sword.

  • Decorative Swords $16 to $900
  • Functional Swords $50 to $2000
  • Stage Combat Swords $90 to $300

Keep in mind that you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a nice quality Functional Sword that you would like to use for many years, you will want to look for something around $200 or more, and stick with the top manufactures such as Windlass, Darksword Armory, Legacy Arms, and Hanwei. While there are functional swords cheaper than that, their quality is not as good. Decorative swords are just the same, the more expensive they are, the better quality and better made they are. We know that not everyone can spend hundreds of dollars on a sword, but perhaps they would still like to have one, and that is why we offer the largest selection of swords online with prices for anyone’s budget.

Are you looking for a historically accurate sword, or perhaps a specific culture such as a Roman sword, a Viking sword, a Scottish sword, or an Oriental sword? What about a fantasy style blade?
