Is this real, in that it can be sharpened and used in combat, or is it just decoration?

I bought this and it feels quite solid, but a little heavy. I have not whacked anything yet, but should a burglar come in, ill let you know how it handles. Honestly though, it came quite sharp and I feel it would be just fine if needed as a weapon

It's too long to be practical And heavy. It looks sturdy enough but I wouldn't sharpen it.

No it is not, it is sharp but not hand sharpened and not sharp enough for immediate use. However it is easy to sharpen if you are slightly expeienced.

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

It's a bayonet not a machete or other tool. It's edge is meant to be sharp for one purpose. You do not cut branches or whittle with it. If not used for it's intended purpose, fighting, it will dull quickly.

Sword is for real. Mine came actually pretty sharp. The sheath came cracked which sucked but its ok. Not to noticeable. And it comes with alot of gel like substance on the blade, i think its to keep from rusting or something. I cant remember, but overall. Very well made considering the price.

Yes, but this is the real deal, sharp as a razor sword...NOT for actual combat practice. This "style" was used by the socially displaced and demoted samurai to allow them to carry weapons.

Yes, it's a very real and heavy metal. It's not sharp on the sides of the blade (which is good because you or someone near by would definitely get hurt) but the tip is pointed and sharp enough to penetrate an object given enough force. I bought a few Zelda swords and this is by far the best. It has an incredible weight and feel to it that you'll love. I also found a great sheild that isn't cheaply made if you're looking for that as well!

No, despite what others have said, these are absolutely not real swords. The cloth around the handle cannot support much use without unraveling, the steel is stainless (stainless steel cannot be used in swords; stainless steel metal becomes very brittle over 7 inches), and the holes and the saw-like serrated edge are purely for looks. The holes detract from structural integrity, and the serrated edge, if used as an actual sword/machete, will get caught on near everything it comes in contact with. They also cannot be sharpened without a stone and great difficulty. These are purely for show.

No, it looks just like it is, now words or anything written on it, its an actualy feather as well, the handle is real wood too with the leather-ish grip being pretty much glued on (but this is fine in my opinion as its a displah piece) don't expect the axe head to be like it is in the picture though, it comes not sharpened, you would have to physically grind it down to a sharp point, and it isnt shiny but a dull looking metal. But for a display piece it's amazing, I have it mounted on my wall

The wood seems to be bamboo not really sturdy it wood break I am sure if you hit someone with the sheath but for holding the sword its fine.I cant say what type of steel it is it looks to be two types as it has a nice blend looking pattern where the edge is one metal and the back of the blade is another.It does hold an edge well it seems my son sharpened it and its scary sharp cut my thumb just checking it.Now is it a real fighting sword no I am sure it wouldn't hold up but it does look nice for the price and would be a nice present for a amateur collector.Do note its super bright red scabbard not wood color like he picture seems.

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.

yes it can be used as a real sword. just feel the edges and tip and you know hand that it can

Well for starters spell "kombat" combat, we are not in the second grade. Technically yes, it is a carbon steal blade meaning it can sharpen easily. Would I do it; hell no. But that is just me.

The handle has a partial tang going though it, and wooden grips. On top of the wood is fiberglass and resin to hold it together sturdy. This is a Cosplay or display replica, not a functional or battle ready sword.

This is not a toy or a real weapon it will come apart if used for anything more than a show piece.The strap is not unlike the rest of the sword and sheath being a show piece only.

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