I belive so. This sword is short but thick. It has a good weight to it and it can be resharpened if need be. Im not sure how tall you are but i am 5'5" and this sword is the perfect size for me. Use it as you see fit. Enjoy!

That depends on how it is used. This replica is made mostly for display. If you toy with it and swing it gently or use it for non-contact practice, you should not have a problem. The sword is well made but delicate. If you go around reclessly hitting it with other swords and other solid objects(yes including hard wood) you're gonna have a bad time.

I cannot be a hundred percent but in taking a quick check it look like maybe one but this sword is very nice to own. My son loves it. He really would be a better person to answer this question.

To get people to buy it. I don't really mind if it is or not, it's still a cool sword.

It's a display piece. I wouldn't recommend LARPing with it or anything like that. Cosplay is fine, if you can get a custom sheath for the sword. Otherwise mount it on the wall and enjoy.

The sword is stainless steel. Thankfully, it is a quite sturdy blade at that.

Well mine is currently holding up a full size replica of the Braveheart sword, so it should be fine for yours as long as you anchor it correctly.

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!

Yes it does. But the sword is only one piece don't try to take it apart to get it in hand some people have done that and broke the bottom part of the handle thinking it removed.

It's a bit on the soft side, but for a replica, it's completely fine and able to cut through some medium sized objects without bending or chipping. It's full tang, meaning the sword is all one piece that goes all the way through the hilt, and is very sharp when it arrives.

No, it is a genuine sharp sword. I tested it myself. But it looks quite nice and has a great balance.

No. Cheap display sword that looks kinda cool on the wall. I overpaid thinking it was a better sword than it turned out to be. Technically its not actually a sword at all. Even wielding it for play makes you feel goofy. Its strictly designer metal for your wall.

It's two separate swords that "attach" to each other and look like one. It doesn't really stay attached because magnets are weak. Each sword also has only half tsuba. But overall I like those swords. Got it for 12-years old brother and he likes it for practice. Not too sharp but sharp.

It has a respectable heft, but it's probably not as heavy as an authentic medieval sword would be. My guess would be in the neighborhood of five to ten pounds. I don't have a scale handy.

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.
