can this sword still cut heavy/thick objects in half/pieces/etc.?

This sword sucks. I got one end it was as dull as a butter knife and it bends very easy almost like rubber

Honestly I haven't even tried cutting anything with it, but im sure it can cut melons, water bottles, etc.

It's hard, but pretty thick. It would be difficult to get the blade to be even.

Not if they are edged, that is for sure. The material is a polymer designed to resist impact, not cutting. If it were edged, my bet would be that it would get sliced in half - or at least the weapon would bite into it hard. For a non-edged metal weapon, you are probably safe as long as the weapon isn't terribly heavy; it can take full-force blows from a bokken wielded by a master in Kendo (personally tested) with nary a scratch, and that's saying something.

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.

Cold Steel Swords are awesome. Rocks, Trees and small armies should be afraid. I swung right through a 8" tree, the blade went so far through that it surprised me, so it went into a rock and dented the rock pretty good, nearly no blade damage.

As in real life combat such as slicing something/someone, no it has a flat edge, it is fairly pointy so you can stab stuff, but as for cutting and slicing it won't work. And let's face it, if you wanted to use something to poke someone in combat without slashing, you would just use a foil

You have the option for both thick and thin. However I have damaged a few blades and have to cut the potato in smaller pieces before passing it through the cutter.

yes you could actually cut some things, but it isn't intended for a "battle ready blade", it is however made very nicely, a reverse katana is cool, I like the way it flows, If I were you, I'd enjoy it on the wall, not as a weapon.

Yes,you should be able to as each piece is adjustable...ie, just adjust it so far out of the way so it doesn't slice.

First, and believe me I'm not trying to sound like a d!ck, but I don't recommend battling with metal swords. As for your question, it would hold up great as far as the blade is concerned, however the handle is pretty wimpy so if any part of the sword would break it would be that or where the blade connects to the handle. The blade itself is insane, check out youtube: WeAllJuggleKnives does a great demo vid for cutting.

Snake, I don't know why they aren't answering the questions so I will. This is a stainless steel blade, so though it is more brittle than high carbon steel, it can be sharpened if done right. I would highly recommend using something like an Accusharp sharpener. No, sharpening the sword will not damage its integrity since you are simply putting an edge on it.

The blade comes to a point but as far as cutting abilities it is not possible. For cons they may have you zip tie it shut.

The blade is very thick not super sharp. I'm not sure if it's fragile, we haven't used it yet.

The blade is certainly heavy enough to cut through said materials. However, the blade; like most swords; is not sharpened. But again, this has the weight and potential to cut through watermelons and the such.

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.

It's pretty stout. I think that, even if you found a tool to do it, you'd end up with a very rough cut. Probably unsightly.

Generally I would say you absolutely cannot. The scrollsaw blades normally used to cut pieces of wood are very thin and fragile with very small teeth that would be also immediately damaged by trying to cut sheet metal. Having said that, if the sheet metal was very thin and soft they do make blades that are essentially small, flexible, round files which might be able to wear your way through the metal. But his machine is, shall we say, overly stressed by wood thicker than 3/8 inch . Sheet metal will send it to an even earlier grave.
