Ranger sword

Although Darksword Armory's Ranger sword looks at first glance like United Cutlery Lord of the Rings sword, it is a different beast.

Darksword's sword is significantly heavier with a much more solid feel. The blade is wider and thicker than the UC sword, making it presumably better suited for wacking things.

The drawback is that you cannot use the United Cutlery scabbard, and are forced to use the Darksword scabbard, which has been described elsewhere as (to paraphrase) as functional, but not very attractive.
