is this sword able to be taken apart, or is the blade glued into the handle?

It can be taken apart. It has a wooden handle with a wooden sheath. The sheath is very tight fitting when you first take the sword out of it

No. It can't be taken apart. I tried and cracked the handle on it. Its either glued or screwed in. Its just for decoration.

Yes, the handle is made up of two pieces that snap together and can be disassembled, as well.

It cannot be replaced. If you really want to, you have to disassemble the hilt and it's really hard. You better contact the maker or buy a new one.

This in not full tang. Mine separated from the hilt today (after about 2 month's worth of use). There was about a half inch insert at the end of the blade that connects to the handle.

It can be easily taken apart for cleaning. I disassemble it and clean it takes about twenty minutes or so. The blade is sharp but it is no different then cleaning or handling knifes.

Does not seem so. The basic blade is attached to a central column and two lateral braces. The wooden handle inserts into the central column and is secured by two pins. The blade is attached to the central column by rivets, as are the lateral braces to the blade. The central column, lateral braces and blade could be detached as a single piece from the wooden handle quite easily by pulling out the two pins. However, as this would leave you with just the handle and a need to purchase a new central column, braces and blade, my general impression is that this blade is not replaceable.

it seems the blade and handle are just fitted together and maybe glued, its fairly secure tho the handle is hollow half way thru

Yes it can be disassembled. It is a painI used hot Soapy waterI had trouble with the handle coming apart.

From what I've read, the blade is not removable. I have no experience trying to remove the blade though.

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply

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.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

No assembly required. Unfold and clamp the handle, and you're good to go. Expect the blade to be pretty dull, though. I was disappointed on first use, but after discovering the dull blade and sharpening it, I've been very happy with it.

Yes, this is most definitely a problem!!! It means that the tang of the blade ( the part of the blade inside the handle ) is broken somewhere in the handle. Either that or the wooden covering over the tang is broken. Both are serious flaws and will cause the sword to break if it is used. I bought the hand-and-a-half sword too from Amazon and it had the same flaw yours has. If you ordered it from Amazon, they will replace it as long as you've had it for less than thirty days.

Yes the handle can be removed for storage. The handle can also come apart in two pieces if needed.

You would most likely break the handle if you smash the sword against something. The blade feels sturdy enough but the handle feels like it can barely support the blade's weight.

The blade is not part of the handle but it is not made to detach either. The blade is metal and the handle is plastic. It's a great peeler....this is the third one for our kitchen.
