G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a 2009 American live-action film adaptation of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy franchise. It was released on August 7, 2009. I’m not going to go into detail about the movie but you can get a great summary here.
I’m here for the goodies produced from this movie fully licensed United Cutlery G.I. Joe Swords. There are a total of two kinds of swords. They are the Snakes Eye Sword and the Storm Shadow Sword. Apart from their look and quality, what I like about these swords is that each one is unique. Unique in the sense that each individual sword has its own serial number. This will help prevent knock-offs from corrupting the G.I. Joe sword market. United Cutlery received the license for these swords and did an impressive job from bringing them from the screen to your hands. Nice job UC! So lets go into a little more detail about the swords themselves.
