    This wood-hilted Celtic sword has an unsharpened blade of high carbon steel. The hilt and grip is of carved hardwood with brass ferrules and brass studs. A guard plate of steel is affixed atop the guard. The scabbard is crafted from steel.

    At about 250 BC advances in metallurgy and ironworking techniques allowed the Celts to craft longer bladed swords. Surviving examples clearly show that these were well-crafted weapons, fitting for the warrior class of an often warring culture. Though often seen by the Mediterranean cultures of Europe as barbaric, the various Celtic peoples had achieved a skill of ironworking that was masterful.

      300-100 BCE “Celtic.”. For the money, ($83) this is a well made and solid weapon. I can’t make one of this quality for anywhere near that cheap. But “cheap” it is not. I was pleasantly surprised by yhe scabbard, with a Le Tene style motif, and correct side mount is good for a baldric. If not 100% period accurate it is possible, and is good for Faire, SCA, or any non-Living Historical venue. Wooden pommel of course makes for a tip heavy wielding but the shorter lengh allowed for good cutting power. I sharpened mine, and it held edge for mat and pine cutting tests. The pommel had a cheesy modern brass acorn nut that I filed smooth as to appear as a peened pommel. Over all, for the price I was impressed.

      For less than 100$ you are getting a fairly accurate, carbon steel Celtic sword that will hold an edge once sharpened and can make cuts as good as anything sub 200$. The wood hilt definitely makes this sword blade heavy, but with that being said many examples of iron age Celtic swords were thought to have wooden hilts so while not ideal by modern standards it is at least period accurate. Only complaint from me is the handle itself is a bit too narrow and the pommel nut needed a tiny bit of tightening out of the box but other than those minor flaws this a Deepeeka sword worth the risk.
