I suppose technically it could, but this particular product is meant more for broadsword style swords.

I don't think so. It's for more like a saber blade, not fencing. Like Link's sword in the Zelda games

it may be a bit big for a 5 year old. and i am afraid i do no know enough about fencing swords to respond further.

yes it should ,sword might hang to the ground since he's only 5 it straps on your back so might be a little big for his back but he'll grow into it good quality should last for years. you can adjust it too, but still might be a little loose .Hope that helps.

No, a fencing sword is far to narrow. This belt is meant to contain a medieval style sword. Also this belt is designed to be slung over the shoulder. Not typical for fencers to wear swords on their back. The belt is also likely too large for a 5 year old.

I would say No for your situation..I got this for my adult son who collects "Legend of Zelda" stuff and it fits his sword fine. It is made for a "normal" sword not a foil typically used in fencing. Also I would say this is more of a show piece, although it is very well made and sturdy enough to actually use on occasion. I think you are looking for a scabbard (or if it has a cover and you need a belt only) I seen them a Ren Faires and they call them "Frog Belts". You may have to check with a Fencing store especially for child sizes.

the sword is made of cheap plastic. An adult can bend the sword blade, but the sword can hurt someone if they are hit with it or stabbed at. I gave it to my 2 1/2 year old and as long as he wasn't swinging it wildly it was ok. We had to correct him several times to not hit the dogs with it.

Yes. It seems pretty sturdy - my 4.5 year old son sometimes pulls on it rather hard and it has not broken.

Yes - the belt is adjustable. At it smallest setting it was still too big for our three year old. He is slightly small for his age though. We have rigged it to work. It's sturdy and he loves putting tools and toys in it.

i wouldnt trust it to hold a 5 year old. Seriously. Its constructed with the entire weight that it would hold being held by a threaded nut at the end. and the rope is horrible also.

Hi Daniel, this is a toy version (plastic) intended for use by children. It is much smaller than the actual belt on TV.

No, its a very well put together sword and worth the money, i bought it for my boyfriemd and he loves it!

It holds pretty snug. The issue is that there are no holes through the sheath and the belt loop is mounted high. You would have to drill out some holes to mount it.

If the sword is handle heavy it might not look right since the handle will have to be closer to the base. Its sturdy! I can definitely hold weight thats not a problem. but how it would look on the display might be the issue I think you might want something with a wider base.

You can carry the sword in hand without the scabbard. There is no way to carry the sword on the belt without the scabbard though. Also, be advised that this sword is basically something that would be used as a movie prop. I bought it for my son for Christmas thinking it was something he could run around with when playing in the woods with his cousins. This thing has a real (unsharpened) blade so it sits in his room for show instead of being used as a toy.

This item does not come with a sword, it's only the belt. Don't worry though, the sword in the picture is available on this site too!

Yes. It has a waist belt that is adjustable. We can put our one year old and our 3 year old grand sons into it.

It may be about 55 pounds, but add a sword a helm, under robes and pouch it will be around 65. How hold is your son and how tall is he? I'm 5"9 and the suit goes down to my shin in length.

Negative. They do sell scabbards for it but be careful since they sell the blade in a lot of different lengths. First one I bought was too short for the sword but was meant for the exact style. It is soft leather.

its a serious tool belt, heavy leather, adult-size canvas belt, etc. So I would say no, not unless the child is a lineman for the local electric utility.

i like fits a little loose but i'm a big boy so its fit well and i would make sure that the sword you use with this has a hilt guard on the sword. i used this at medieval times and got many complaments on it

The rope is wrapped very tightly and we haven't noticed any problems with it coming loose at all. This is a VERY sharp blade sword. Just FYI.
