Can i actually sword fight with this weapon or would i risk severely damaging the blade?

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 solid, but stainless steel can dent easily, plus the paint will definitely chip. The hilt looks nice and strong, but it's clearly for show purposes. I wouldn't use this in a fight, but it definitely makes for a great show piece or cosplay weapon.

The only part that isn't made of metal is the middle piece of the handle, but although this is mostly made of metal is all held on by glue, so yeah you probably would damage it.

It is a coseplay piece, just for show and handleing, not for sword fighting. U will damage it.

i think if you fought with it some damage would be done, but is a somewhat sturdy sword and blade.

yes you could actually cut some things, but it isn't intended for a "battle ready blade", it is however made very nicely, a reverse katana is cool, I like the way it flows, If I were you, I'd enjoy it on the wall, not as a weapon.

It wont necessarily hurt the blade, but the paint on the side of the blade will come off. So if you don't mind a silver edge rather than a black edge, It should be fine.

Although its a steel blade and pretty heavy with one l, you'll still damage the blade in any sword fight I don't recommend it. It's an awesome replica sword though!

No way. This is purely for decoration. There is no edge to the blade at all and if you tried to give it one you'll probably destroy the sword.

It'll work all right. I would not take this thing into real combat, since it's a tad wobbly, and if you're not trying to wound someone it's too pointy. That being said, if it's a mock fight with another rapier, you'll do fine.

I really doubt it. I don't think the sword metal goes much past the hilt. It feels as if it had 4 (or fewer) real heavy hits against say, a tree, the handle would probably split or bend away from the sword.

The sword certainly seems sturdy enough to withstand fencing but I do not think it was designed for protracted use as an actual weapon. I myself would hesitate to use it with abandon that is in the excitement of a match you might start hacking with it. No good could come of that although you would probably win the match! If the the sword fight wod be like those intense but elegant fights in Errol Flynn's movies, I'm sure the sword would be just excellent!

I don't think I would. You would have to be very careful and it is somewhat sharp.

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

I am not a sword expert, but I can fairly certain that it is folded steel.Swing it at someone and it will hurt. A lot.

It is rat tail tang so dont go swinging it around. If you swing it the blade will fall out most likely

I wouldn't do it. It isn't that kind of blade, more of a hunter/skinner type. There are many good blades out there that will do that, starting with a decent machete.

No you can't duel with it. It has no edge and the daggers are loose and will fall out. This is a display piece.

I wouldn't do it with this knife. I would mess up someone pretty bad if they hit me with this, whether it hurt me or not. This knife is pretty solid and I actually thought about using it as a self defense weapon due to how hard it is.

The blade is not sharp, except for the tip. If anything, the look of the sword would be intimidating enough. That being said, it's still heavy and blunt, so hitting an invader with it could do something. However, it IS a beautiful work of art and shouldn't be used in that way.
