How durable is this sword?

This sword is a good sword for display purposes, but do NOT go and try to take on the spartan empire with it. This sword is not at all something that should be used for fighting but it is wonderful to hang on your wall. I tried fighting my brother with my other sword and the thing inside the handle snapped and all the handle pieces came off as well as the pommel. So if you ask me for a straight answer, I would say not really.

Very durable, good quality, better than I expected. My son loves it. It's very pretty too.

It is very durable, I have left mine out in the woods for a few months on end during hunting season and never had any issues!!

Its very durable to blunt blows, but metal weapons will ding the hell out of it. Its not designed to take on edge weapons.

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.

I wouldn't purposely beat it up lol But i've dropped it more than a few times and it's alive and kicking. It's made to be used by children so I believe it's the most durable system they've made recently.

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.

My son is almost 9, takes fencing classes, and has two of these swords. We fight pretty hard with them (like, really hard), and have used them DAILY for 5 months now and you'd never know it. They are an incredible value for the money.

Yes the sword is very sturdy, I love it. And you can swing it but it weighs a good amount so I wouldn't use one hand but you can swing it perfectly fine.

Although its a steel blade and pretty heavy with one l, you'll still damage the blade in any sword fight I don't recommend it. It's an awesome replica sword though!

It would take a long time. The sword isn't that sharp and the scabbard material is quite tough. Plus the entry slot to the scabbard has a metal guard so the sword hits metal on the way in and out. I suppose if you face a real onslaught of Mirkwood spiders or waves of Orcs it might eventually wear out but otherwise don't worry about it.

It really doesn't bend unless you force it to, but then it is even hard. But I wouldn't recommend it to hit things really hard like wood because you have to think, the shock vibration can break the sword because it isn't indestructible. But I still recommend it.

You can duel with it but it is not designed to take a beating. You will want one of those more durable ones that are available.

I would not suggest much sword play, it is made out of hard foam, the sword is very long, we used it as a prop for a Halloween costume. My sons has not broken, but he does not play with it very much.

The sword is made of a dense foam type material...its still intact and my child has played with it very regularly for several years. Unless they have changed the way it is made, the whole set is awesome!

It is to a point, as long as you are gentle with it I believe it will endure. It will crack along the edges and tear if not handled with care.

I think so - I used it for combat simulations and throwing practice, and the blade hasn't snapped off yet. It stings a bit if you're hit with it when it's thrown, but nobody has been injured.

It holds up better than the expensive model. But like anything else you have to be reasonable. Two tough guys will break'em. I've not hurt mine yet.
