I love these wooden swords & shields.  I just adore this aspect of my boys - the protectors extraordinaire.  They live to defend & provide.  (There's the time my 4yo asked if he could call my mother - to see if he could borrow her horse if a battle ever came to the city.) I really wanna get those swords ... except they already have wooden ones built w/ Daddy & Grandpa ... and a thousand half-broken plastic shields.  Too bad I didn't find these before I invested in an arsenal of Authentic plastic Replicas, one after another.  :)
