is it a sharp sword, enough to cut?

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

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

Honestly, it's kinda dull. If it was swung hard enough I'm sure it could, but it's definitely no razor blade.

The edges are pretty dull but it does have a sharp point. The sheath isn't very good but it makes a nice wall hanger.

The sword is not sharpened. It is solid, but it not sharpened to an edge. It won't cut as it comes from the manufacturer. However, although the point is not sharpened, it has enough of an edge to it that enough force could cause injury. I wouldn't give it to young kids.

The Cold Steel hand and a half sword comes with a good SWORD edge on it. Swords like this are not meant to be sharp in the same way as a pocketknife. No, it is not paper shaving sharp, but it is capable of easily cutting through things like cardboard, plastic, and home invaders.

Yes it comes sharp enough to cut off your finger with it. Not so sure about Italians laws as far as swords go.

It has a sharp edge and would probably cut cardboard well. I ue it as a decorstion. Starfire swords for combatThey are made for hacking.No edge so they dont kill actors.

Very much so. The swords are extremely sharp, though. So much so that the tips can easily puncture the sheath, if you take the little plastic pieces off.

No, it is a genuine sharp sword. I tested it myself. But it looks quite nice and has a great balance.

its a machete so it is supposed to be thin. If you want thick get the Cold Steel 1917 Cutlass Sword.

To be honest it is kind of sharp. And probably will work just fine, but it depends what you consider as sharp though. As for myself it could be sharpen a little more upon arrival. As it is it could still cut pretty good with right amount of force.

Absolutely....should the need arise God forbid, this sword will easily handle either a strong sideways slicing blow, or a forward motion stab. It comes quite sharp out of the box, but as a collector I always like to put my own edge to it. The point will go thru a lot more than just soft flesh. This is a very vicious sword, and far from being anything to play with. I do however have one suggestion to make and that is to find a good strong military grade paracord, or something very similar and wrap the handle to give it a better grip. As it is the grip is a bit thin for bigger hands like mine. It not only provides for better gripping power, but also helps to soak up any moisture from sweating hands. Just be sure that your wrap is very tight and very even, and that your tie-off is at the back end of the handle. You can even use the ring as a tying point. All-in-all.... I would not want to be facing the business end of this sword. It is double edged, it is very sharp, and will easily dispatch even the largest of attackers. The throwing knives are not sharp on the edges and do not seem to want to sharpen no matter how hard I try. They do have a good point and would stick if thrown properly. I'm not a thrower so I cannot make suggestions or give any kind of worthy advice. But I can recommend the sword to anyone looking to add to their collection, or add to their self defense arsenal.

I would think it would be sufficiently sharp, however it is not easy to cut evenly. With even a little bit of pressure applied downward it will warp causing uneven cuts. I regret spending so much on this mandolin when my cheapie cuts more evenly.

The tip of the blade is sharp, and is a danger if you are not careful. Although I haven't quite experimented with it, the sides are dull and shouldn't pose harm if you're just carrying it around or storing it.

My knife was very sharp. Sharp enough to cut me! It is very rigid for it's length. Perhaps that other person was using the flat side of the knife? It is sharp enough to cut cake & bread with ease. It's not razor sharp, because it is not meant to be a razor sharp meat carving blade. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

It is sharp, But I wouldn't use it to cut anything. its just basically a decoration.

Not sharp as in a flat bladed sharp, but yes it come to a fine point and can cut into skin with little pressure. I haven't seen anything about a knife being included, and it wasn't included in my purchase.

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

Owning this blade i do not believe that it would break in a sword fight but i would be wary of using this blade because its extremely sharp.
