440 Stainless steel blade. The 26.25" blade slides firmly into the cool black metal scabbard. The handle of the sword is made of the same material as the scabbard and all are accented with silver steel accents. A small close-quarters knife with a 4.25" blade rides on the scabbard near the hand guard. This sword has a good weight to it and feels really nice in the hand. The Sci-Fi/futuristic look is really amazing.
