Would this sword hold up to being swung around and maybe hitting light things like boxes? (just an example.)

It has a sharp edge and would probably cut cardboard well. I ue it as a decorstion. Starfire swords for combatThey are made for hacking.No edge so they dont kill actors.
1108688
yes it would. I wouldn't use it to chop wood. but it is a reasonably good sword for show.

Plywood? Definitely. Anything tougher, like a two by four, would probably do some harm to the tang. I'Ve used cork board to practice trust aim, and there's no wear at all.

The sword is well built and I think it will hold up but I used it strictly as an accessory to a costume.

The sword is perfectly fine for swordplay, it is a sturdy sword. You shouldn't have to worry about it breaking, I speak from personal experience with the sword.

eh it can but not as much as id like it to. but if you get it sharp it is a good sword.

Its good for deep hacking and damage. It is a sword between 8-10 pounds and although isn't crazy sharp due to the weight an wedge like blade style will go deeply in logs and other hard surfaces. If you are not carful the blade at the hilt will bend.

My long sword is to light at the grip. But, I believe unless you fill the pommel and grip with metal, the material is not giving you any more. Still a good thing for basic training, If you are more advanced use the real thing.

Yes but expensive way to go. Sword is NICE. Very heavy duty. I wouldn't want to handle it much, but that's just me.

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.

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.

Don't risk breaking a 170$ sword, it's a wall hanger/display piece. To put it frankly it does have some "value", but that ceases when you damage it (and it will get damaged in fact), furthermore you don't want it to be sharp, that will just make handling it awkward and potentially dangerous for kids or house guests who find it interesting. If you want a sword you can use you have to buy a sword you can use, and this isn't it.

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.

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.

Not so good for Dueling, it's definitely a prop/collectors item. You'd want to look into the custom saber builders for ones that can be used for Dueling.

You could tie a rope or something to it. But it's just a for show sword would break pretty quick if used. But cool looking

Absolutely not. While the blade is technically full tang, the edge (as i stated) is not sharp whatsoever, and sharpening it yourself could greatly diminish what is strictly a display peice. Not to mention that the blade is so slender and heavy that it would most likely bend and scratch during real swordplay, not to mention that you would neef some serious arm strength to fight with it, as it is a monster of a longsword.

The sword is poorly balanced and the blade is very heavy. I would not recommend fighting unless you seriously want to hurt someone. And yes, the blade will get damaged.

I wouldn't recommend it. While sharp and sturdy, I doubt it would withstand repeated blows or any type of blocking (I've used mine against cardboard and other soft materials and it already has a few small chips).

Yes it's light enough but then again I've played with swords all my life so I'm used to the weight of most of them. As far as easy to move around with sure, once you figure out the straps and all that.
