what is the sword made of?

They are metal if that is what you are looking for. Better design than I thought.

Steel. It appears to be stainless. It does not appear to be full tang though.

The sword and scabbard are made of metal, so they have good weight (lol), but they are merely painted black so they are fairly dull. They shine a little when brand new, but fade after a month. It still looks really cool though. It will get you stopped at airports though, and you won't be able enter any government buildings with it, because even though its dull, they still count it as a knife. (I'm an employee of the State of California.)

It has a acid etched hamon and is 1045 steel, the one that has real hamon from clay coating the edge and oil or water quenching which tempers the cutting edge harder is 1060 steel and about $100! It takes a lot more work and risk of breaking the blade so always make sure it says hand tempered and what method they use. This sword still cuts fine, even bamboo(not recommended)and is very good for the price. I bought mine to practice so my nicer real hamon tempered ones don't get hurt.

It's not to me but because it's really small and people r more impressed on the designs n the fact that ITS BLADE IS MADE OF METAL so no it's not. And really it's really small on the blade, it's hard to notice, so it's a great sword over all for the cost. Hope this helped :)

There is no plastic in the sword it is all foam. The sword is one solid piece of foam and the rubber bands wrapped around the hilt for looks.

The alloy seems to be plain sttel stock honed and carved to resemblet he blades from the anime. The sword is fairly stirdy, but I would not go chopping Titans necks with this thing, I do not expect the TAM to be reliable or quality. It is a show piece, not a fighting sword.

To be honest I have it as a collection item, therefore it still in the sealed box so I'm not 100% sure; however, some parts seem to be metal (mainly the dragon) and some other plastic.

The sword itself feels solid, but not too heavy. Despite being stainless steel this blade is impressive.

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 made of stainless steel. It is softer than carbon steel. It was chosen because it, of course, does not corrode readily. If you start hitting anything much harder than styrofoam with this sword, you will put nicks, scratches, etc. on the blade.

I just asked my brother about the sword, because he is the owner of it, I bought for him as a birthday gift. He said is it is Full Tang and all so a great show piece.

this is made of a very durable plastic I believe. It works wonderfully tho and cuts thru the toughest of skin and flesh. I have used mine alot!

Yes its real, heavy and stainless steel, but its not sharp and its only to hang in the room, not to destroy things with the sword or u can broke the sword, but its pretty big and heavy :)

The sword is supposed to have a lot of carbon content in the steel. I always put a light coat of oil on mine when I'm not using it to keep it from rusting.

well, we bought it to replace one that got broken with minimal use, there is a stiff rod through the sword but the rest is foam and can break easily, including the rod poking through near the tip if bent just right.

It is made from cast steel and stainless blades, however, it is a manual unit and moves around some when in use. It would depend upon the amount of use you plan to give it

Very much so. The swords are extremely sharp, though. So much so that the tips can easily puncture the sheath, if you take the little plastic pieces off.
