The sword is long and not too sharp. It's also 5 feet 9 inches and all black just like the show. It's awesome

United Cutlery....The Black Series. Affordable, and battle ready. These swords come with an edge, however a half hour with a fine grade stone and you'll get razor sharp. http://www.budk.com/product/United-Cutlery-Black-Shikyo-Forged-Katana-1045-Carbon-Sword/159709.uts

What do you mean 'Real'? Is it steal? Yes... Is it sharp? Yes...but I sharpened it more. You can NOT...use this as a fighting sword really. It's far too long. To use this in a normal manner, you would need to be between 7-8' feet tall.

Sword is for real. Mine came actually pretty sharp. The sheath came cracked which sucked but its ok. Not to noticeable. And it comes with alot of gel like substance on the blade, i think its to keep from rusting or something. I cant remember, but overall. Very well made considering the price.

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.

It appears to be. There are no grinding marks and it is quite sharp. I touched up the edge so it was extremely sharp but it took very little to get that way. Fittings are solid brass and tight, a very good sword for the money.

Agree. Not a toy. Although it is meant as a replica and not a real sword, it has heft and is sharp and could seriously injure someone if misused.

It will come about as sharp as one could expect given the profile of the blade. Its something of a diamond shape in cross section so the grind of the edge doesn't allow for a very fine edge. I managed to get a sharper edge with a fine stone. However, even though its not an exceptionally sharp sword don't expect it to be blunt or in need of excessive grinding or sharpening.

No it's not shape bough to cut it has a nice point. You won't find any sharpened swords on amazon or this Internet really unless you buy from ebay or Craigslist

It's not sharp due to AMC right's and most ppl that will buy it know nothing of swords.. Full tang is a yes, this is a full tang battle ready katana. Once sharp if you want to sharpen it, it can kill So becarful

I have this and was very surprised how sharp and nicely made the blade is. Most of their prop swords are not sharp I believe. Not sure why they sharpened this one. Not sure about the tang, but the whole thing feels solid and dangerous. Its a little longer than a dagger.

yes it is. I find that for the price this is a quality practice sword. I doubt you'll find better.

It's not to me but because it's really small and people r more impressed on the designs n the fact that ITS BLADE IS MADE OF METAL so no it's not. And really it's really small on the blade, it's hard to notice, so it's a great sword over all for the cost. Hope this helped :)

Yes, it is made of stainless steel and has sharpen edges. It is basically a real sword, though heavier than a sword would have weighed back in the Middle Ages.

Im not an expert on swords but If your asking if the blade is one whole piece then yea I believe it is. I can see the screw that holds the blade into the inside of the handle so I believe it is full tang

It is a real stainless steel blade. The blade is not sharpened so it doesn't have a sharp edge. The hilt is plastic and it feels like it is meant to be a decorative sword and not a functional one. Hope that helps!

Nah bro, they don't tell you but when U get it, you'll notice that only the tip is sharp. The rest of the sword is actually very dull. Will not cut through anythingBut U can impale I guess

Well the Sword has a two handed hilt that's roughly about 14 to 15 inches long . And is about 55 inches long overall it's a very big sword . It's very well-made and is a very nice sword definitely worth the money .
