Is this sword actually plastic like the 1 star reviewer said? For some reason I don't believe him because of how odd his spelling was.

the majority of the blade is like Styrofoam while the flat parts of the blade is a hard plastic. The hilt is a plastic tube while the guard is similar to the blade in construction.

I do believe so, but I'm not positive. It feels very sturdy and bad@$$. And as others have mentioned, the pommel in the picture is incorrect. It is Aragorn's first sword from LOTR

Yes, and it's a sturdy one, stiff and not floppy like some others I've come across. The sword itself is magnificent!

I would assume that means against similar nerf brand swords? We have a few of those and this is a more sturdy version of them. I have two boys and they often "battle" master sword verses nerf. It's made very similarly but seems to be of better quality maybe or a harder material? It's slightly different but I think in a good way. Hope it helped!

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.

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.

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.

Yes, it is made of stainless steel and has sharpen edges. It is basically a real sword, though heavier than a sword would have weighed back in the Middle Ages.

It is plastic. The entire item is plastic. Also, I returned the one I purchased because I thought it included both halves of the Star Wars Darth Maul Ultimate Lightsaber. IT DOES NOT. When you read the outside of the package, it says that you have to purchase 2 to put together to create the complete Lightsaber. Just FYI.

No, it is a hard plastic. Or something. The blade is very sharp and forged metal. Very nice. Not a toy. Handle with caution.

My assumption is yes, it's just cheep plastic and not all that good. If you are interested in learning/playing the ocarina and still want plastic, take a look at the ocarina listed here. http://www.stlocarina.com/ztenorpldis.html

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.

Sorry I just retread the description... When I bought it in 2012 it was metal, it looks like they make it out of plastic now? I mean I can say this, in my experience with things I have bought from this company have always been well made and don't break easily...

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.

I'm guessing someone made a mistake...because you're right, it's plastic. Why don't you pose this question to someone in customer servcie from Amazon. It's been my experience that they will try and make things right. Their customer service is usually excellent and works hard to resolve issues. And I believe you send it back if you're unhappy with it.

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!

Yes. It's actually plastic too. For some reason I thought it was metal. Fake flames didn't work either.
