How will this hold up putting together 2 pieces of heavy crystal sword handle to the blade ? the quality comparison of crystal is like Waterford

It would probably hold very well, but i would think you would want something clear with that application. This will have a light grey tone when hardened, but I have used this JB weld on some really unique projects like that with great success, and even repaired engine blocks with it. My only concern for you would be roughing up the back of the crystal to give the epoxy tooth to bite into.

Has a great PSI for strength, just be sure to let cure thoroughly. I dries a dark gray color but I loved it because this is waterproof.

Yes the handle stays together fine! This is a nice sword but the case kinda sucks. Every time I put the sword in the case I stab a hole in it. Really cool sword though!

The wrappings aren't very thick so it works. As for the staff part, I haven't been able to get it into such a state. They are still very good swords though.

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.

It's incredibly solid. The blade will not be deployed unless The thumb hole or release is deployed. The lock up is one of the strongest lock ups of the blades I own. I would definitely suggest this blade for any blade lover.

The "Wheel of Life" tsuba (Nazi symbol) is metal but I doubt it's going to hold up in combat or anything. The handle itself is pretty well made, keeping in mind this is not a combat sword or anything but it is really well made for the money.

The "wrap" that they use around the handle is very flimsy. If you plan on using the sword in anyway, might want to get some polychord to replace the wrap. The sword is actually decent for the price. It is one solid piece of metal and is extremely sharp. Unfortunately, mine came with some chips in the metal, but Amazon took care of it for me. Hope this helps.

The wood itself is fairly hard and would probably withstand medium to light contact with some moderate damage to the ha and mune areas of the blade. Unless your training kids or are very young yourself and not planning to make hard contact I would opt for something a bit heavier and larger. IMO what your wanting to do requires one of the larger, more heavy duty bokkens out there. They come in all shapes and sizes and in every price range. But the good news is that the the cheaper more commonplace ones work out almost as well as high end ones. Personally I favor bokkens that have no wrapping and no tsuba because it teaches you to rely on superior gripping technique rather than whatever hardware the katana may have on it.

It is quite durable! I would suggest not hitting the handle though, since that is where the speaker for the sound effects is. The blade can take quite a beating though!

there were some areas of over spray on the paint job and the handle was a little loose. i would not recommend any heavy contact with the sword, but use as ornamental should be fine. a little carpenters glue took care of the handle.

I bought my sword from qswords. I'm happy with it. I think it is a rather well made sword.

Sturdy as hell, me and some friends were beating each other senseless with it and the nerf longsword. And it held its own better than the longsword

In response to Jordans question "Does the sword have a polished glossy finish? Yes it does it comes moderately sharp it looks good but I cant seem to get the blade out even when I tap the peg out I think they use glue as well but that is ok because I practice allot and its solid. you cant beat it for the money I thought about ordering a few more!

Yeah the whole thing feels sturdy, id rather not choose this sword for cutting just cause im not too sure about the curves on it, I had to re-wrap the hilt just cause the leather wasn't glued on very well. It weighs about 4 lbs so it is plenty sturdy enouch to chop through things. I recommend if you were to chop anything, sharpen it first so it puts less stress on the blade.

It doesn't look like it. Don't get me wrong is sharp as heck. I love mine especially for the price. I expected a cheap crappy sword i could use like a machete, but it actually feels really sturdy. And for the price i can actually use it and not worry about messing it up because i can just buy another one of i do. And do far it's been tough. My son and i have taken it out and cut through all kinds of stuff. 3 or 4 milk jugs full of water etc. It feels like it could take off a small appendage or at least do a lot of damage trying.

It's a good quality sword and my son loves it very much. It's not a fighting sword, both edges are dull. If you something hard with it (like a tree, or a ground) real hard, the handle might get loose - that's what happened to my son.

The sword has a metal blade made of stainless stain and although it is not sharpened the tip does come to a point similar to a letter opener. Combined with the weight of the blade it's enough to puncture the cardboard box it's delivered in. The handle on the other hand is plastic. Combined with the heavy blade it probably wouldn't hold up to any serious abuse. Overall it's a display item.
