Pirates are in, and every year the costumes and props get better and more accurate. Themed closely to a tai chi style sword but with much more flashy scabbard accent design. The thin double edged blade is covered with a thick dark antique finish and carries a mild edge sharpness. Housing the blade is a finely crafted hard scabbard covered in soft leather, accented with antiqued brass rings and scabbard tip. The guard and pommel carry no markings and have plain brass finishes contrasting the dark thin leather wrapped cord handle. Not intended for combat purposes, having only a 14/64 blade thickness. Measuring 39.5 inches closed, 36.5 inches overall with a 28.5 inch blade length.

Customer Review: Good for getting to know Turner
This is a well put-together and written book on Turner’s early work. The color reproductions are good. However, as is the case with with reproductions of Turner’s pencil works I’ve see, pencil sketches are frequently too light and consequently hard to see, especially in any detail. (This was the case with displays at a recent museum exhibit too.) What’s particularly good in this volume are the insightful comments. It is evident the the commentator knows art and art-making well enough to provide interesting and useful (to an artist) information about Turner’s habits and methods, etc. Recommended to those who want to look into art history and Turner the artist.
