Product Questions

Where is the NCO sword made?

Question by: Michael Manning on Jan 22, 2017, 5:56:00 PM

Sir, the NCO sword, and all of our swords are made in Solingen Germany by WKC. WKC has been manufacturing military swords since 1883. They are the leading supplier to military schools and services worldwide for ceremonial military swords, including the military academies here in the United states.

Of what kind of steel are your sword's blades made and how are they fixed to the hilts?

Question by: Jeffery Price on Jun 11, 2017, 12:31:00 AM

All of our sword blades are connected to the pommel through the tang and end nut. Each blade has a threaded piece of metal called the tang that runs up through the center of the pommel. When the pommel is assembled the end nut then screws down on top of the tang the squeeze each individual piece of the pommel together holding them together and attaching the blade to the pommel.

Instead of the wkc ornamental coin, I would like to replace it with the army coin or dept of the army official seal? do not see that option being offered on the website.

Question by: Allan P. Mason on Jan 27, 2018, 4:24:00 PM

The WKC coin is the only option we offer. There is not a dedicated space or indent on the plaque for the coin, so you could purchase the desired coin separately elsewhere and mount it once you have the plaque in hand.

Why are there different lengths of NCO sabers? I am ordering one for a retiring NCO, how do I know the length to purchase?

Question by: Stan Warrick on Mar 17, 2017, 6:18:00 PM

The sizes are based off arm length. If you order too short, on a tall person the blade looks like a butter knife. If you order too long, the blade is likely to pop your cap off. It is ideal to be measured in person, as the blade lengths can vary due to the arm length of the individual. However, if you are unable to make it into the shop to be sized for a sword, then it is best to size based off height. Below is a list we use for "general sizing".
5'6"-5'7"= 28", 5'8"-5'9"= 29", 5'10"-5'11" = 30", 6'-6'1"= 31", 6'2"-6'3"=32", 6'4"-6'5"= 33", 6'6" & over= 34"

Looking to purchase this for a retiring CSM

How long is your shipping process?

Question by: Brittany Lee on Jul 13, 2019, 9:31:00 PM

Production typically depends on whether or not you choose to have the blade etched.

Without an etching, swords ship in 1-2 business days.
With an etching, this would ship in 2-4 business days.

Once shipped, this typically takes 2-4 business days within the continental US. Extended time is needed for Alaska or Hawaii as well as APO addresses.

What is the padded caring case and what does it look like

Question by: Mitzie Barnette on May 15, 2020, 12:02:25 PM

The carrying case can be found here: https://www.marlowwhite.com/protective-sword-saber-carrying-case

Answer by: Leah Cook (Admin) on May 21, 2020, 7:14:04 PM

I understand that the swords are not sharpened, but do they have the ability to be sharpened without damaging the sword?

Question by: KC Raph on Jul 6, 2020, 5:38:40 AM

No, they are not. This is a ceremonial item. Marlow White cannot repair or replace any parts of your saber due to damage due to attempts to sharpen a ceremonial blade.

Answer by: Leah Cook (Admin) on Jul 6, 2020, 9:07:02 AM

Is there a way to add more information to the blade of the sword? Such as date of rank? The rank and name takes 18 characters if I do not leave a space.

Question by: Leora Carter on Aug 15, 2018, 1:52:00 PM

Good afternoon ma’am,

In response to your question, you may add more than 16 characters to our laser etching, however, the etching may appear disproportionate if too many characters are used.

You’ll be ok to add up to 25 characters. However, any more and you’ll have to consult our sword specialist. If that is the case, just type “see email” in the etching field and he’ll reach out to assist you.

Another option to consider is if you paired the sword with one of our plaques. There is a nameplate on the plaque that will account for an additional 30 characters per line up to 5 lines (or 150 characters).

Answer by: Daniel Kent (Admin) on Aug 17, 2018, 1:25:00 PM

What are soldiers putting on the baseplate

Question by: Henry Huff on Aug 10, 2019, 3:25:00 PM

The plate on the plaque can be anything you wish. We often see personal messages from the person who purchased it or a personal motto or bible verse.

Is the sword sharpened or could if be?

Question by: Michael Cotton on Sep 4, 2020, 5:22:22 PM

No, our swords are for ceremonial and/or display use only. They are not sharpened and cannot be sharpened.

Answer by: Beth Jackson (Admin) on Sep 11, 2020, 2:53:04 PM

How do you choose the length of the NCO sword? Is there a regulation stating what length you should get based on your height?

Question by: Matthew Hacker on Feb 5, 2018, 2:21:00 PM

Selecting the correct blade length is more than just a function of height. The length of your arm, neck, and even the type of sword all factor into getting the correct length. We have detailed instructions for measuring and choosing a sword in our Comprehensive Sword FAQ. https://www.marlowwhite.com/military-sword-information/m-measuring-sword-length.html Please refer to this page for full details.

Answer by: James Hogwood (Admin) on Feb 6, 2018, 7:55:00 AM

I would like to order two NCO Swords. How long would they take to get shipped? I would like get them before the holidays if not sooner.

Question by: Sebastian Saldivar on Nov 7, 2019, 6:44:35 PM

Without an etching, production time is 1-2 business days. With a personalized etching, the production time is 2-3 business days.

Answer by: Leah Cook (Admin) on Nov 11, 2019, 10:58:34 AM

I want to order a NCO Sword. I was wondering if I can have a diamond etched into the blade or if it can only be lettering? Thank you for any help you can give

-14

Question by: Garry Kisko on Sep 20, 2018, 7:01:00 AM

We are able to etch designs into the blade for the NCO sword, however, it is dependent upon the availability of art we have as to whether or not we can fulfill the etch requested. We do have a small diamond shape in our system that can be etched to the sword. I will be emailing you separately with an example of what we can offer you.
