Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As the title of this review states, the actual product does not quite match the picture on the website. Rather than the flat brown leather-looking strap handle that appears in the image, mine has a cheap-looking black nylon rope one. The chains used are also different. Rather than the simple chain design in the Amazon.com image, the flail actually comes with twist chains that do not look as authentic to my eye. The oversize shiny rings that connect the balls to the chains and the chains to the handle add to the somewhat cheesy hardware store warrior look. On a much less important note, The chain at the butt of the handle is not bolted bolted or riveted to the handle as pictured, but rather passed through a hole in the handle.
Not a terrible prop/decorative item and still pretty cool to have around the house, but certainly not the awesome flail that you see in the picture.

This ancient weapon was once used by foot soldiers as a deadly weapon. After the 16th Century, flails were used only as historical decoration. Each fine replica is hand crafted from top quality materials. The 1 lb spiked steel balls are supported by a studded chain attached to a 15 1/2" rivited hardwood handle.
