"Is this sword suitable for overthrowing an oppressive English monarchy?" one customer asked under the product's Q & A section, referencing the real battle William Wallace led against King Edward I of England.

"Is knighthood included or does it cost extra?" another fan teased.

"Can I use this to create a sword bouquet for my wedding? You know, in case a hoard of orcs decides to crash it or something. Dual purpose!" one fan said referencing The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

"Is this sword sharp and sturdy enough to carry into battle, or is it just suitable for a bit of light pillaging?" another customer joked.
