Here's a LOT better picture of it.



A comparison picture that hopefully will give you an idea of the comparable sizes of these blades.

And here is some history.

"1200 Vorpals were blanked (of 1095). A few hundred were polished, the majority were SAND blasted. Manufactured in 1995, which is when I bought mine.

I think the early sheath is the Baldric sheath. It appears that there were only about 250 of these made. Only about 400 Vorpals were made with the bead blasted finish (which is the one I have) and only about 100 with the high polished blades. Bringing the tally to 500. The Blade on the Blackjack Vorpal Sword is 17 inches. The overall length is 24 inches and weighs approximately 27 ounces (I think).[/b]


Steel: SR-77
Hardness: 58 - 60 Rc
Handle: Cord wrapped
Thickness: Approx .190


Blade Length: 17 3/8"
Overall Length: 27.25"
Blade Width: 1.5"

All in all, I would rather have a Skizzy!
