Hanwei | Tinker Sharp 9th Century Sword replica from Viking

The patina on this piece is spot on, giving it a genuinely aged look that photographs beautifully. I specifically wanted the cold steel feel rather than a flimsy prop, and the weight here is reassuringly substantial. The included display mount is sturdy enough to handle the heft without sagging, which is rare for this price bracket.
