$125 without shipping. Bigger and manlier than your other swords.

36.5" blade

Fantasy swords are for look.

The ones in the op are real, sharp weapons.

Edit:

Depends in what you're more interested in.
Viking have been romanticized as the heroic adventurers of the North.
If you were to be the more noble chivalry specimen then take the Black Prince.

I love the viking ones, but the black prince is one of the most popular geniune swords just because it's fine quality.

I just don't want any stuff swords.

Getting swords sharpened by professionals costs at least $25, depending on how sharp you want it

[SacredOblivion]

So what exactly are you going to use that sword for? Display, dragon hunting, killing.. ?

Just because it's based on fantasy doesn't mean that it's any less sharp, metallic, or deadly.

Mostly display and defense. Detroit is scary

I have cloud's buster sword. Got it for $240. It's a piece of stuff.

If the blade won't fracture it can easily lop a tree in half with the strength of 100 men.

In that case you don't want a long sword until you develop the arms for it. Those swords are heavy as stuff, I held an actual one during my visit to Edunburgh castle.

New idea: Buy a forge and some iron. Blacksmithing isn't actually very hard. It is just a lot of work to hit stuff with a hammer, and it takes practice to be good.

Where would I get raw iron?

And wouldn't buying a sword be cheaper than buying a forge?

Maybe, but then you can make multiple swords with the forge and it will eventually become a better investment.

Well, the people who make swords make money off of it. And you can keep using the same hunk of iron until you're a pro. You can also grab unused railroad spikes.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, massive guns.

Black Prince of Detroit.
