Agree completely about the decoration comments- and if you really want combat bling, have a look at some of the Late Roman helmets- sheathed in silver and then gilded (and sometime with jewels added for extra effect....)
And (having swung the Hod Hill sword around a fair bit now), the central brass knob in the handle with its diagonal scorring is a vital part of the grip. Fact is , the grip works it practise very well- its not just for decoration!
