Ninja Reviews

Some people love weapons, I think most are dangerous and I would end up being the kid who shot his own eye out (Christmas Story reference), but I get it. Weapons are cool. (Photo: BladesUSA)

Here we have the BladesUSA Hk-6090 Fantasy Sword. Made with hard-anodized black stainless steel, a 17-3.7 inch blade (27.25-inch overall), a hi-tech strap, and an ergonomic grip. The ergonomic grip proving the weapon to be dangerous but sensible. It's a replica of a Full Tang Arm Blade Sword from the Blood Rayne video game series.

At only $18.39 on Amazon it's a steal, if you are into this sort of thing. You might be thinking, who would really want something like this? Well a professional Ninja of course.

That is only the beginning of the review, read the post in its entirety here.

As appealing as this is, a simple baton with a side handle is almost as effective without the disadvantage of getting stuck inside your opponent while strapped to your arm.

18.39? it's a steel!

There is a reason this is classified as a "fantasy blade." There is no way it would be effective or safe in the real world. It is a replica of a cartoon weapon. The thin piece of stainless steel (anodized black--or not--it is still brittle) will bend permanently (at best) or snap into pieces (at worst) The "high-tech strap" is a piece of Velcro. The cut outs on the blade will further weaken it. And why in gods name would one want to strap a blade to his forearm making it capable of only two attack/defense motions?
