What exactly is a wallhanger?

I'm sure some who visit usableweapons.com want to know why we sell wallhangers swords as well as battle ready swords. What's the difference, you ask?

Our battle-ready swords are built for combat. They are built stronger, with durable materials. The battle-ready weapons we sell at usableweapons.com are historically accurate. While fantasy weapons are fun, we learn to appreciate historical weapons, and the masters who spent their lives creating workable, usable, weapons.

A "wall-hanger", as we like to call it, are swords that hold no other main purpose other than to hang on a wall. These tend to be built with cheaper materials, and will not hold up to any form of combat. In fact, nine times out of ten these swords will most likely break if you take them and use them in any type of martial arts combat.

So what's the point of wallhangers, why do we even sell them? They look pretty. Plus, we have all been attracted to swords we see in movies and books. Personally, I love the sword of narsil, shown here. While I would know this sword would never get any real use, it would be a wonderful addition to my living room wall. Plus, it would be an awesome addition to any Aragorn costume.

The best part of our wallhanger collection is the price. Wallhangers are genereally a lot cheaper in price, being that they are meant for decoration only. If you are trying to spruce up your house, apartment, or bedroom; or you needing an amazing sword to accompany your medieval/renaissance costume for an event or a costume party, pick up one of our wallhangers swords which will do the trick at a fraction of our other sword costs.
