I is definitely a display piece. If you start trying to hit stuff with it the blade will fold over on itself. But if you are looking for some quick drunk fun on he cheap go for it!

The sword is fully tanged which means it was fully built all the way into the handle and is sharp the entire length of the blade. When I looked online I saw there are cheap versions of this sword but I paid for this fully tanged one because it is what I wanted. I maintain the blade and it is a well made great sword. Fully sharpened. Not a toy. I hope this helps.

Yes, and it's a sturdy one, stiff and not floppy like some others I've come across. The sword itself is magnificent!

It's pretty heavy. Full size and not meant as a toy. The sword is also FULL size and sharp. These items are meant just to be displayed. Hope this helps

The sword is solid steel don't think it will break that easy. Handle is solid all one piece sword. Handle wrap is cheap vinyl only downside.

I like the sword. My sword and sheath fit very tight, but maybe mine has something that fell inside. For the price you pay for the sword it is a good sword. Do not expect to have a real-life fighting capable sword. I bought mine because I wanted to put together a really cool Gladiator Maximus Halloween costume.

It's a display piece. I wouldn't recommend LARPing with it or anything like that. Cosplay is fine, if you can get a custom sheath for the sword. Otherwise mount it on the wall and enjoy.

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.

The sword certainly seems sturdy enough to withstand fencing but I do not think it was designed for protracted use as an actual weapon. I myself would hesitate to use it with abandon that is in the excitement of a match you might start hacking with it. No good could come of that although you would probably win the match! If the the sword fight wod be like those intense but elegant fights in Errol Flynn's movies, I'm sure the sword would be just excellent!

That depends on how it is used. This replica is made mostly for display. If you toy with it and swing it gently or use it for non-contact practice, you should not have a problem. The sword is well made but delicate. If you go around reclessly hitting it with other swords and other solid objects(yes including hard wood) you're gonna have a bad time.

It is an actual training sword. I purchased it for cosplay purposes. It is a very nice sword. My daughter and her friends did do some sword on sword playing and she had no issues and there was no damage. In reading the other comments about breakage.. I can't say how rough their training was or what they were coming in contact with to make their swords break or chip.

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.

the sword fits nicely into the loops and looks good together. my 10 yr old son was very happy with the setup. the only issue we had was a poorly glued handle on the sword which i took care of with some good ol' wood glue and a proper amount of drying time. hope this is helpful.

I would not recommend, because if you destroy the integrity of the metal, you ruin the sword. And 2, only if you know someone personally who knew how to handle the engraving and do a decent job. My suggestion would be to place in a display case or stand and have an engraved plaque made stating what you would like.

It's a really nice sword, got it for my boyfriend and he loves it!... Nerd ;P Only problem (in his opinion) is that it's a dulled blade and meant to be more of a wall mount not a toy haha. I'm pretty sure it's held by one screw and could easily come apart it you swung it around too much. Besides that, it's pretty nice looking, for a sword hahah.

The sword looks really good as it is, hanging on the wall. If you want a sharp blade you might as well get a real battle ready sword that won't break if you hit something with it.
