Then there was the type of sword I had, which was well-made and nice looking but quite common, and also used by Kainan (Jim Caviezel) in several scenes. I think the reproduction sword was based on his one, but they all had the same wrapped handles, pommels, and brass beads inset into the hilt.
The one you see here in this linked image is pattern welded/damascus, but none of the actual prop swords had this type of blade, except perhaps for Caviezel's hero sword.
