Cheesy Marto rat tail tang stainless steel garbage. Period. Dont waste your money. Marto charges 500 bux for a piece of rattleing crap that ist worth 50
I love the conan movies too bad no one is thinking of making a new one,there is one coming but conan is played there by a litle girl,so no to that-hard thing to do...filling arnold's shoes-Great sword,great music thanks for shearing!!!!!
@ivanovsd If only Arnold Schwarzenegger were to train again like Sly Stallone did for his Expendables franchise and make another Conan sequel I would see it in a heat beat. He's not Governor for California anymore and he said he's back to acting. Why not. He's still has bodybuilding/nutrition knowledge to get back into shape. Age is a fucking number.

another lil amercan (us) with a sissy toy. please dont tell me, thaht this is made of carbon steel or some mighty materials! 2 very unrealistic swords!
@firelord3377 they are replica from the conan movies, and iam german too :D - no need to troll, they are not practical, of course not, they are just nice to look at - and make only sense if you know and like the conan movies.
@firelord3377 You make me sick, you come to this video for whatever reasons led you here, most likely an interest in the sword itself. Then you bash the guy who took it out of his own money and time to share a hobby with you, specifically stating that is merely a replica and you have the nerve to chalk him up to being a stereotypical 'lil american'. People around the world have been collecting and building weapons like this for centuries. The only unrealistic thing here is you.
@firelord3377 dude shut up Quality steel was not used in medieval times anyways( so immagine farther away in time) if you could go back in time with a modern High qualitym, Carbon steel sword, you could break everyone else's sword with your own ...
@firelord3377 Unrealistic for a puny little man in a business suit to wield yes. But for a real man, more weight = more damage upon impact. You can carry around a fencing sword if you wish.
@edstar83 lol, you know that they dont make any damage at all, Mr barbarian? - Cause they would brake by the first hard hit, they are stainless steel which is only for display purpose. Btw i bet you are just as puny and little like me.
@scumimpaler i thought about that too, long time ago - but i guess he did not so well ^^ - anyways, i know there are "original" replica in the US, made from the same molds as the movie props. But 3000$ for one piece ist too much, to just hang at the wall and look at it
@hardnor There are rumors that there were few blades that were sent to USA from Poland and then polished, decorated etc. I couldn't believe that and investigated - and eventually I found a smithy that actually makes small amounts of weaponry for film industry. The boss claims he prefabricated the blades. He even has the replica of THE SWORD in his price list (10.000PLN). But - frankly speaking - I don't know how to verify if he's not lying. Filmmakers hire him often actually, but THIS..?
Huh, it's strange how Toledo's blades are still famous for their quality. They were already famous some 500 years ago among the spanish conquerors. There is a chronicle in which a comparison is made between the Aztec obsidian swords and these blades saying: "They cut just like Toledo's blades".
I bought the conan atlantean sword after seeing this video ! it is awesome ! if youre watching this... you shoulda bought the darn sword already ! this thing is the real deal ! again awesome video, and thanks for sharin !
awesome ! i have not been this excited about a movie prop since the f-x lightsabers. which is more powerful the steel ? or the hand that wields it ? in this case its the steel. awesome video and nice razor sharp toy !
Those are nice swords; but you need to get up there and swing one like Arnold did on the beach as he was recovering from the attack of the demons. lol
Well are not you the popular one . Ha Ha Hah! The sword is too short. You and I love it - But the truth is still worth hiding ha ha ha! My vocalisation is getting better...
Shut the fuck up u fagget, no1 wants to hear ur racist bullshit here, go jerk off as many times as needed to reproduce urself asexually cause that's the only way you'll reproduce at all.
You are the only douchebag around here u idiot, u only see what u want to see. You hear this song and u think it talks about race cause ur so obsessed with race. When actually it's called "The Anvil of Crom" because it deals with the forging of man's willpower and strength. Go talk racism with ur kkk buddies, no1 wants to hear ur bullshit here.
How the hell could you tell what's my skin color? only a racist douche tries to deduce skin color based on text messages.
If you're so concerned of the extinction of whites then go create ur own only whites country preferably in the north pole.
This is the way US demographics are changing and thus the way it's supposed to be and you can't do anything about it so shut up, it's nature taking it's course.
@LovecraftianEntity01 Don't forget the worst part about racism - it unnecessarily narrows the scope of your rapine. Do you think Conan would have ever refused to satisfy a nubile maiden simply because she was too pale or swarthy? This is a man who put his meat into witches from time to time - pickiness was not a hindrance for the man.
If you ask me, WatchRyder does not know what he is missing.
@WatchRyder That's the advantage of being a Cimmerian. When you raid the lands of the city dwellers, you need not listen to their inane prattle - merely slay their effeminate menfolk, steal their goods, and despoil their women. And if the bastards you sire have black skin and curly hair, all the better - when they come of age and seek vengeance, they will not be able to recognize you as their father.
I'm sorry, but wherever you got your "facts" from there, is complete bullshit.
For a start, to actually have those weights, a steel blade of a sword's length and width would have to be about 5 inches thick. Steel or iron is not that dense.
Actual viking swords average 1.3 to 1.4 kilogrammes, Germanic long-swords, about 1.6-1.8kilos, and the landschnect zweihanders go up to 2.5kilos.
(I'm a reenactor, I regularly handle originals, and fight with modern copies)
my facts from the Ibn Fadlan manuscript, originating from 922A.D.
Archeologists and scientists have no problems accepting information in this manuscript about the location and size of forts, military outposts, etc. But it is when it comes to the size of the Viking's and their weapons that scientists refuse to accept.
Guan Yu of the 3 kingdoms used a polearm that was 18kg, he was 6'10".
In India there are swords handed down that require 7 men to carry.
scientists claim we are improving by the day in everyway. in the manuscript was depicted another race, but scientists say not possible. they used to say the earth is flat.
the bible records numerous people who lived over 1k yrs of age, and the Vedas convirms and gives much greater detail. In the book "forbidden archeology" are a host of relics found, including I recall a 15' long by 4' wide iron bed.
We are not progressing, we're degrading, and losing all opulences, life, height, str, int.
If you insist. a 15 foot long bed, my reaction is'nt "oh, we're degrading in height", but "oh wow, that would be fun for a harem or luxury pad".
I will not argue points of faith, however, as that is a personal matter for you. I believe that the bible is one of the oldest records of civilisation - babylonian, sumerian and judaic - but that it is also layered in allegory and myth. You clearly feel this is absolute truth, and that is a matter of personal faith. I wish I could have such belief.
I agree to a point. However, as for "forbidden archeology" there were many artifacts unearthed that suggested many strange things. Yet we have never found a giant skeleton. Humans are getting weaker, smaller, fatter and living shorter lives. Nutritional, environmental, genetic factors are to blame, which boils down to the fact that people are being further disconnected from nature.
As a matter of fact, giant skeletons were quite common, but often dismissed by the status quo. Currently there is a dig in England where during the Dark Ages, there was a well-established village of giant warriors, average height 6'10". Giants were often the result of population bottlenecks, meaning that genes for giantism are among the most common for our species.
My facts come from the actual physical samples in the British Museum, the Wallace Collection theScottish National Museum, the Kelvin Grove Museum, the Dean Castle Collection, and others.
I am also using the references of Ewart Oakeshott's "records of the medieval sword" - considered the world's primary source for the study of swords.
We refuse to accept the claims, because, much like the forts, we have archaeological evidence of the hundreds of actual weapons that have survived.
there's plenty of records of oversized swords - infact, there is a 20-kilo "two handed" sword in the collection of the National Museum of Scotland. it's about 12 feet high, a hilt 2 feet long, it's blade is 4 inches accross.
it's a ceremonial sword. carried at the front of a parade for the public to see. These oversized weapons are not for actual fighting.
if you want, message me, and I'll arrange a set of links to photos, and book titles, if you'd like to read about it.
and the bible, after being changed thousands of times, is hardly among the oldest records available to man.
The Vedas are millions of years old, and the Sri Lankan bridge and it's construction is recorded in the Ramayana from 17 million yrs ago. NASA has satellite images, acknowledges it's age, and concedes it is "made by intelligent life" but refuses to accept it was made by man.
As a student of "agreed upon lies" you may also know Vikings worked steel long before the Egyptians.
.... I'm lost for words. Come back when you have a grip on reality, please.
In the meantime, I strongly suggest that the facts you've got are compiled and published in archaeological and specialist journals for reenactors and historians alike. *If* you are right, you will be a very rich person as you have managed to uncover history unknown to man, beast or duck.
But, personally, I know you'll be laughed off as a quack.
The sword is non functional as a combat weapon. I know a few things about sword making having studied it and that is clearly a stainless steel showpiece and not a tempered, hand forged steel blade meant for metal to metal combat.
:-) yes that's what they are, unbalanced way too heavy fantasy pieces made from stainless steel. But i like them, love the movie, love the images i ve made with (look on 2dhifi . com for sword).
I really like the attention to detail in the handles of your swords. Putting the fathers sword in the snow was a NICE touch too. Keep postiing cool vids man. Thanks!
If you were to really quench that blade in the snow like William Smith did in the movie, it would break like glass when you struck something with it. Great swords though. I wanted one of the Albion Atlanteans but I guess I just took it for granted that they were going to make them forever. My loss.
lol this was never in question - guys the conan swords are fantasy, much too heavy for there length, very unbracticable und unbalanced, i have a practical katana and i know how to handle it - i found the marto conan swords just nice to have, cause iam a big fan of the movies
yes, but belive in me the Albion sword is very diffrent, is a true sword to battle!!! this tradmark is famous for this, the weight, the equilibrium of the sword, the material, if you have possibility to find the Albion Conan sword not to make you to escape it!!!!! is totally different!
Albion.. their next generation Swords are the best european battle sword products on the market but i´m sceptical with "true swords of battle". Also a practical katana doesnt have to mean, thats its a authentical sword which would survive the first contact with another sword.. it can also mean that you can cut some things more or less effective. Problem with Albion is imho that they look too perfect and are more industrial made then really forged like japanese do (very expensive.. 10k + more)
A skilled swordsman could best you with the cheapest of swords. 10k or $100 You'd loose your life to someone skilled. I'm not saying I'd risk my life w/ a cheapo, but were talking display swords here...not like anyones risking their arse. Even if the sword broke, a skilled swordsman would expect that of a cheap weapon and be prepared. In life or death situations, money doesn't always dictate a winner. The one who wants to live more; has the strongest skill and will -usually wins.
You are correct dark. Skills supersede the person with a better sword in most cases in a one on one battle.
However in warfare when large armies or navys fight, in most cases the side that has the better technology usually wins. But it is usually correltated with better skills too.
Agreed. I usually like to correlate it to musicians. Give a crapy cheap guitar to someone who is skilled and they could still rock your socks off, but give a very expensive guitar to an unskilled player and they can't make a tune.
yeah im not sure if that sword is a functional, or is just a display piece. functional swords at least good 1s, cost at least 150 but most good ones cost 350 and up. even non functional blades will cost 100 to 300. all of the licensed lord of the rings swords are display pieces, they will not take the stress of cutting. and some of them cost 250 to 350 depending on where u get them.
I agree fully with you, that not the weapon makes the fighter, especially in hand to hand or close combat, the experience of this fighter and his physics is the most important part but on the other way i dont know what a skilled fighter should do or how he should be prepared for it, when his weapon breaks. Skill might be important but an effective weapon often makes the difference between life and death. I just would want to be shure, that my weapon is REALLY battle ready.
Too bad the Marto swords suck. The Filmswords version are much better and made by the guy who made them in the 1st flick, Jody Samson. Except you can't get them. Oh well.
i like them :-) maybe not 100% the same quality, but 90% - and just 10% of the price ^^ - any ways, what i hate most on them is the fact, that they are stainless steel :-/
I havent seen the filmversion swords on close captioned pictures.. and i never really cared to just watch the sword in the film but imho, these versions here lack of authenticity. The skull, the symbol of the pommel, the signs at the blade look to perfect (made out of metal i guess) to look believeable. The broadsword of an barbarian would have rough leather as grip, and probably not such fency artworks on it.. but in the movie, they looked cool somehow.

my facts from the Ibn Fadlan manuscript, originating from 922A.D.
Archeologists and scientists have no problems accepting information in this manuscript about the location and size of forts, military outposts, etc. But it is when it comes to the size of the Viking's and their weapons that scientists refuse to accept.
Guan Yu of the 3 kingdoms used a polearm that was 18kg, he was 6'10".
In India there are swords handed down that require 7 men to carry.

scientists claim we are improving by the day in everyway. in the manuscript was depicted another race, but scientists say not possible. they used to say the earth is flat.
the bible records numerous people who lived over 1k yrs of age, and the Vedas convirms and gives much greater detail. In the book "forbidden archeology" are a host of relics found, including I recall a 15' long by 4' wide iron bed.
We are not progressing, we're degrading, and losing all opulences, life, height, str, int.
bhibatsu 3 years ago
If you insist. a 15 foot long bed, my reaction is'nt "oh, we're degrading in height", but "oh wow, that would be fun for a harem or luxury pad".
I will not argue points of faith, however, as that is a personal matter for you. I believe that the bible is one of the oldest records of civilisation - babylonian, sumerian and judaic - but that it is also layered in allegory and myth. You clearly feel this is absolute truth, and that is a matter of personal faith. I wish I could have such belief.
suzerain01 3 years ago
I agree to a point. However, as for "forbidden archeology" there were many artifacts unearthed that suggested many strange things. Yet we have never found a giant skeleton. Humans are getting weaker, smaller, fatter and living shorter lives. Nutritional, environmental, genetic factors are to blame, which boils down to the fact that people are being further disconnected from nature.
roargathor 3 years ago
As a matter of fact, giant skeletons were quite common, but often dismissed by the status quo. Currently there is a dig in England where during the Dark Ages, there was a well-established village of giant warriors, average height 6'10". Giants were often the result of population bottlenecks, meaning that genes for giantism are among the most common for our species.

My facts come from the actual physical samples in the British Museum, the Wallace Collection theScottish National Museum, the Kelvin Grove Museum, the Dean Castle Collection, and others.
I am also using the references of Ewart Oakeshott's "records of the medieval sword" - considered the world's primary source for the study of swords.
We refuse to accept the claims, because, much like the forts, we have archaeological evidence of the hundreds of actual weapons that have survived.
suzerain01 3 years ago
there's plenty of records of oversized swords - infact, there is a 20-kilo "two handed" sword in the collection of the National Museum of Scotland. it's about 12 feet high, a hilt 2 feet long, it's blade is 4 inches accross.
it's a ceremonial sword. carried at the front of a parade for the public to see. These oversized weapons are not for actual fighting.
if you want, message me, and I'll arrange a set of links to photos, and book titles, if you'd like to read about it.
suzerain01 3 years ago
History is a set of lies agreed upon.Napoleon Bonaparte.
Later quoted also by Voltaire.
As I understand it, a view shared by many others, those swords were not ceremonial or for parade, they were used, by very big men.
Modern society claims advancement, but they cannot produce or even re-construct a minature 25' pyramid.
I've seen with my own eyes a 70 yr old man hoist motionless in air 900kg with legs, like a leg bench press, he is Mongolian 10 yr wrestling champ.
bhibatsu 3 years ago
and the bible, after being changed thousands of times, is hardly among the oldest records available to man.
The Vedas are millions of years old, and the Sri Lankan bridge and it's construction is recorded in the Ramayana from 17 million yrs ago. NASA has satellite images, acknowledges it's age, and concedes it is "made by intelligent life" but refuses to accept it was made by man.
As a student of "agreed upon lies" you may also know Vikings worked steel long before the Egyptians.

.... I'm lost for words. Come back when you have a grip on reality, please.
In the meantime, I strongly suggest that the facts you've got are compiled and published in archaeological and specialist journals for reenactors and historians alike. *If* you are right, you will be a very rich person as you have managed to uncover history unknown to man, beast or duck.
But, personally, I know you'll be laughed off as a quack.

The sword is non functional as a combat weapon. I know a few things about sword making having studied it and that is clearly a stainless steel showpiece and not a tempered, hand forged steel blade meant for metal to metal combat.

If you were to really quench that blade in the snow like William Smith did in the movie, it would break like glass when you struck something with it. Great swords though. I wanted one of the Albion Atlanteans but I guess I just took it for granted that they were going to make them forever. My loss.

lol this was never in question - guys the conan swords are fantasy, much too heavy for there length, very unbracticable und unbalanced, i have a practical katana and i know how to handle it - i found the marto conan swords just nice to have, cause iam a big fan of the movies
hardnor 4 years ago
yes, but belive in me the Albion sword is very diffrent, is a true sword to battle!!! this tradmark is famous for this, the weight, the equilibrium of the sword, the material, if you have possibility to find the Albion Conan sword not to make you to escape it!!!!! is totally different!
ipepruf 4 years ago
Albion.. their next generation Swords are the best european battle sword products on the market but i´m sceptical with "true swords of battle". Also a practical katana doesnt have to mean, thats its a authentical sword which would survive the first contact with another sword.. it can also mean that you can cut some things more or less effective. Problem with Albion is imho that they look too perfect and are more industrial made then really forged like japanese do (very expensive.. 10k + more)
CoIdHeat 3 years ago
A skilled swordsman could best you with the cheapest of swords. 10k or $100 You'd loose your life to someone skilled. I'm not saying I'd risk my life w/ a cheapo, but were talking display swords here...not like anyones risking their arse. Even if the sword broke, a skilled swordsman would expect that of a cheap weapon and be prepared. In life or death situations, money doesn't always dictate a winner. The one who wants to live more; has the strongest skill and will -usually wins.
darkkittycry 3 years ago
You are correct dark. Skills supersede the person with a better sword in most cases in a one on one battle.
However in warfare when large armies or navys fight, in most cases the side that has the better technology usually wins. But it is usually correltated with better skills too.
madmaxninja08 3 years ago
Agreed. I usually like to correlate it to musicians. Give a crapy cheap guitar to someone who is skilled and they could still rock your socks off, but give a very expensive guitar to an unskilled player and they can't make a tune.
darkkittycry 3 years ago
The principle applies very well bro.
madmaxninja08 3 years ago
yeah im not sure if that sword is a functional, or is just a display piece. functional swords at least good 1s, cost at least 150 but most good ones cost 350 and up. even non functional blades will cost 100 to 300. all of the licensed lord of the rings swords are display pieces, they will not take the stress of cutting. and some of them cost 250 to 350 depending on where u get them.
oriontiger68 3 years ago
I agree fully with you, that not the weapon makes the fighter, especially in hand to hand or close combat, the experience of this fighter and his physics is the most important part but on the other way i dont know what a skilled fighter should do or how he should be prepared for it, when his weapon breaks. Skill might be important but an effective weapon often makes the difference between life and death. I just would want to be shure, that my weapon is REALLY battle ready.

I havent seen the filmversion swords on close captioned pictures.. and i never really cared to just watch the sword in the film but imho, these versions here lack of authenticity. The skull, the symbol of the pommel, the signs at the blade look to perfect (made out of metal i guess) to look believeable. The broadsword of an barbarian would have rough leather as grip, and probably not such fency artworks on it.. but in the movie, they looked cool somehow.
