Is this sword only for looks?

I only got it for costume wear, but it is a solid metal sword. I suppose you could spar with it if you wanted to.
1540827
Yes but it is heavy. I would say it is made for plays, re-enactments or decoration.
1540828
No, it is a genuine sharp sword. I tested it myself. But it looks quite nice and has a great balance.

We used it in a play. Looks good from a distance..But you are not going to sword fight with it.

the sword and the handle is one large hunk of well crafted metal. i believe that the handle is wrapped in a different form of metal to get the particular look though.

The description says that this sword is "full tang" construction, which means that the steel of the blade extends the full length of the sword from tip to pommel. I have not taken my sword apart to know first hand if this is in fact the case.....but I don't intend to use my sword in combat, so I guess it doesn't matter. It is a cool looking sword, and doesn't feel or look cheap. I am very happy with this sword and would buy from this seller and/or manufacturer again.

It's mainly for looks. I bought it to use in a play that called for a spy glass. It really is mainly for looks.

To get people to buy it. I don't really mind if it is or not, it's still a cool sword.

no,if you want a sword to cut this isnt the one, its just ornament (a really cool one though)if you want a sword to fight with this is what you want to look for: sharpness, carbon steel (stainless is really brittle and breaks easily), and a full tang ( meaning the steel of the blade goes through the handle all the way (like when you see a kitchen knifes handle being metal sandwitched by two pieces of plastic to make the grip comfortable))sry for the late response

It's a bit on the soft side, but for a replica, it's completely fine and able to cut through some medium sized objects without bending or chipping. It's full tang, meaning the sword is all one piece that goes all the way through the hilt, and is very sharp when it arrives.

I cannot be a hundred percent but in taking a quick check it look like maybe one but this sword is very nice to own. My son loves it. He really would be a better person to answer this question.

Yes, but i wouldnt reccomend it. The sword is very fragile and will snap if you arent extremely careful.

The blade is quite springy, but that is kind of what you want for a rapier. If you are going to be using it as a rapier, i.e. as a thrusting weapon, it should do just fine. If you are going to be hacking and slashing, you'd probably want a broadsword or something similar with a stiffer and thicker blade.

No but the point can do some real damage, its a very nice sword. Remember it is scaled hobbit size

It doesn't look like it. Don't get me wrong is sharp as heck. I love mine especially for the price. I expected a cheap crappy sword i could use like a machete, but it actually feels really sturdy. And for the price i can actually use it and not worry about messing it up because i can just buy another one of i do. And do far it's been tough. My son and i have taken it out and cut through all kinds of stuff. 3 or 4 milk jugs full of water etc. It feels like it could take off a small appendage or at least do a lot of damage trying.

Yes, The sword it's self isn't as long as a regular sword but it does look very nice.

Yes the sword is very sturdy, I love it. And you can swing it but it weighs a good amount so I wouldn't use one hand but you can swing it perfectly fine.

Yes...it's junk. As a display piece i suppose it's fine, but parts are plastic, including the entire scabbard.The steel is unrefined and will not hold an edge....in fact it will not sharpen!Don't waste your money if you are looking for a quality sword....if you are just sticking it on the wall for display...it's ok.
1901277
yes it is. I find that for the price this is a quality practice sword. I doubt you'll find better.

The sword is well built and I think it will hold up but I used it strictly as an accessory to a costume.
