I want to buy these to roleplay. How are they with that kind of use, not knife throwing?

They look cool one problem the back sharp point of the knifes get hung up in the sheath!

They will work for role playing and pushing but the take n play are smaller so they do not roll as smoothly or fit right. My son still plays with them on his though

They are awesome for gaming. The only drawback is that you have to buy the attachable mic if you game online. I don't have the mic so I can't speak to that piece. Good luck.

I've found that it's good for impacts, I bought mine for protection from bokken strikes and it's great for that. It could probably save you from a few slashes but it would get shredded. Stabing could be problematic, the seems between the pads are tough but I think a fixed blade or a double edged blade would penetrate it. To be clear I have only taken blunt object strikes in mine. The only body armor I KNOW will stop blades is chainmail and Dragonscale.

Actually yea. I would say that these knives are pretty good for a beginner. You have to throw them with little to no spin though. I throw them so they only turn 180 degrees to impact (blade in hand). They're gonna take a bit of a beating, smacking on eachother and impacting on the wood, but it takes a while before you have to resharpen the point.

Yes! I bought 3 of them to my nephews 4 months ago. They are 7 and love to play very intense combats. The swords have some scratches, but they never broke or stopped to work. It was a very good deal.

I suppose you could if you want but it wouldn't work very well at all.If you're looking for a knife to throw without spin, I definitely wouldn't buy these.

The blade is quite springy, but that is kind of what you want for a rapier. If you are going to be using it as a rapier, i.e. as a thrusting weapon, it should do just fine. If you are going to be hacking and slashing, you'd probably want a broadsword or something similar with a stiffer and thicker blade.

They are durable for play, i use them for play in: Dominion, Munchkin, and others

I'm not going to try it for you, but they are quite sharp, and with a block of hard-wood beneath (emd grain would likely be best), a heavy hammer and a sharp blow they do quite well. I'd be doubting more than a couple of layers of velt at a time, but do not actually know. I like the cutters. They have served me well, what little I've thus far used them. Good purchase.

Likely yes. Ultimately though depends on what're gonna do with em. They're fun., great looking, pretty solid, on the heavy side , if they're too long, remove tips and cut, taper it and go. I used mine in long bows and recurves.

It'll work all right. I would not take this thing into real combat, since it's a tad wobbly, and if you're not trying to wound someone it's too pointy. That being said, if it's a mock fight with another rapier, you'll do fine.

They have a decent sharpened edge to them. No serrations, don't expect them to do well with a tough steak, but don't give them to a small child either. They could easily cut skin. I'd imagine if you needed to, you could dull them or sharpen them more.

They would be good as an addition to carving tools. These tools would work good on detail work but not so much for a gross reduction of media.

The material is fine for casual role play. My 2 yr old nephew has a blast every time. Highly recommend it.

they are very comfortable in your hand. These are some REALLY nice inexpensive knives!! I love them. I do only handwash them, don't know if that is necessary but I do try to take good care of them. Very sharp!! I

Yep. They're a bit small and certainly take some getting used to but they're accurate and work very well once you get them setup properly within the game. I use them for roll and use the xml route to set bindings which is a bit more complex than the in-game interface but it's more fully featured. 1 to 10, I'd give them a 6 or 7. There is much much better, but not for around a hundred bucks. Saitek's pedals are good too but they don't integrate with CH software which is one huge bonus for the whole CH line of gear. Good luck and see you in the verse.
