For my own twisted reasons I am interested in finding a replica of the sword used by Patrick Swayze in Steel Dawn. I would be willing to pay to have one made, provided it won't cost a fortune. Anyone out there who can help me out?

Contact BudK.com they used to sell it at a verry reasonable price.

Really? How odd. I can't recall ever seeing it there -- but now that you mention it, they might yet have something similar.

Hi Phil!
In regards to your question,
To the best of my knowledge, no replicas of the swords used in "Steel Dawn" were ever produced.
you could always check the end credits of the film to see who created the blades or cheoreographed the fight scenes [although i'm pretty sure it was Benny "The Jet" Urquidez]
Also, try to contact Benny, Albert Pyun's office or website [the dsirector] and possiblly Patrick Swayze himself!
Or you could have your own replica made by www.trainingblades.com!
Hope i was of some service,
BEGOOD,

Thanks, Joe. Since I posted this a while back, I've been in touch with someone who is going to manufacture the blade for me within my budget limitations.
