You Can Not Afford My Sword

Ok, so maybe you can afford Ichigo's zanpakutō, Zangetsu. http://www.trueswords.com/ichigo-sword-high-carbon-steel-anime-zangetsu-huge-52in-p-6102.html I came upon this while look for Bleach Cosplay Swords and I must say that it's a very nice one. Probably one of the nicest I have come acrossed with out being badly priced at $50 yet still being very much real. Yet I still found problems with it. At 52in. (4ft 3in) it does indeed sound large but when seeing someone next to it, including someone who is tall the sword defintly losses some of it's impressive size. This makes the size fade into the background and look akwardly short. (I posted a video at the bottom to help explain what I'm getting at.) The sword would need to be at least 5' something anyway to be authentic, since Ichigo's sword was almost as tall as he was. So if you'd like one more accurate you may need to find someone who can do custom swords and place the order telling them what you'd like. Here's a link to a place I found that does custom swords. http://www.dbkcustomswords.com/ordering.html
