(assuming its sharpened) can this be used (for fun, obviously not for war) or only for display?

If you have it properly sharpened you can do whatever you want with it. I recommend killing large pieces of fruit or an old roast or two. Good luck!

Yes, only if you do not want hurt anybody. The award comes with square edge. If you try to sharpen it, you will destroy the painted red edge. Oh, if you try to hold the sward in any other fashion than handle up the daggers fall out. It is for mounting only. And even then it does not look that good. Save the money and buy something else.

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.

The blade is solid, but stainless steel can dent easily, plus the paint will definitely chip. The hilt looks nice and strong, but it's clearly for show purposes. I wouldn't use this in a fight, but it definitely makes for a great show piece or cosplay weapon.

I have not used it for that purpose, and do not know how it would be used for drawings, but I can tell you that it is a very high quality high carbon steel blade with a great temper. It will patina, but will not rust to easily without soaking it in water. It gets a very sharp edge, sharp enough to shave with, very easily and maintains it for a long time. It is a tad bit brittle but as long as you are not prying with it you will have no problems. The only small problem is that if the handle gets to wet it will expand and make it difficult to open or close, but once dried out it will be fine. One last side note, This is the most dangerous knife I own for an unknown reason, and this is not a joke, I have injured myself the most with this knife which is a uncommon as I am very safe with blades and very rarely hurt myself with them, and I have no clue why.

Well fortunately i have not had the chance of using the sword in self defense. Right out of the package I would say the tip would be very capable of piercing through any hostiles that may come your way, but the edge's will need to be sharpened if you want to be capable of making clean slices.

Since it's actual steel, yes you could but you better know what you're doing, seeing as it's not prepared steel it will get notches more, and is more likely to be damaged if you swing it at others. Also most cons wont allow actual blades so you'd have to keep it in the sheath at all times if you did.

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.

The blade is not sharp, except for the tip. If anything, the look of the sword would be intimidating enough. That being said, it's still heavy and blunt, so hitting an invader with it could do something. However, it IS a beautiful work of art and shouldn't be used in that way.

Depends on how big the sword is. It could be hard to hold it at the proper level, if it's too long. Then again, you're asking about polishing, not sharpening.

The sword has a metal blade made of stainless stain and although it is not sharpened the tip does come to a point similar to a letter opener. Combined with the weight of the blade it's enough to puncture the cardboard box it's delivered in. The handle on the other hand is plastic. Combined with the heavy blade it probably wouldn't hold up to any serious abuse. Overall it's a display item.

Unfortunately I personally don't think so, it's slightly Flimsy, be careful of the protruding hilt sides, there is no support there and mine broke off.More of a display kind of thing but you can still fight with it.

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!

No the blade is unsharpened, mainly for cosplay or display purpose, thank you.KM

It is technically a weapon; such definitions don't take into account your intentions. That said, with no large weight or sharp edges, it may not be recognized as such - unless you start bragging, or you use it. School rules are such that if it is recognized as a weapon, you will certainly get into trouble. It is your choice whether to take this chance.

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

A little pointy I guess. You could sharpen it to be somewhat pointy. Machetes are designed for hacking though, not stabbing.
