Are these blades hollow ground ?? Are they made for rough use or for show ??

Huh?!? Hollow? I have never even HEARD of a hollow knife...lolAs the description states, these are REAL DAMASCUS.

the blade is flat ground. Seems ok for camp use but I wouldn't baton with it. The handle is hefty but the blade is relatively thin in comparison with my BK9. You'll always be fighting rust though.

They do, BUT, they seem to be made of steel that is somewhat over-hardened. The ones I put on my ss 4235 had several dings along the cutting edge after the first use although I had mowed an area that was clear of hard debris. I resharpened them but haven't looked at them since using them about 4 hours, again on clear grass. They did cut well after resharpening. I'm not sure if I will repurchase or not at this time.

They are more heavy than stock blades...almost 1/16" thicker. I cut 5 acres with some maples and oaks four times know and they are still doing well. Hope that helps

I wouldn't. The blades have a little play, so swinging them I'm sure it would fly off at some point. These are definitely only for show.

They are smooth enough. Not perfect. But you certainly don't need to sand them down. Many are not very straight. But for fan handles, they would be adequate, unless you are a very picky person. You did not ask about sturdy. They are not extremely sturdy. Again: adequate, unless you want perfect.

They seem fairly smooth to me. Perhaps a little sanding here and there, but otherwise I could not catagorize them as "rough finished". Hope that helps :)

Yes, the blade is hollow ground and throws very good. This makes my third one and all of them fill the same in your hand.

yes they are for show, sure you could swing them around a little but nothing to real. They are a hard metal but could dent easily but they are very cool to own for the price

They are solid. They are one-piece handles, flatter and much heavier than the two-piece hollow handles. (Unfortunately, because of their extra weight, I find them easier to drop. I prefer the hollow handles on my original set, vintage 1986. Oh well...)

They are solid. They are small so you don't have any room to drill too deep, so you would need to be an expert and what you are doing.

I'm not sure since I haven't had that issue so far. Have you tried to take them to a local hardware store to see if they can be sharpened? Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

does anybody hollowgrind anything anymore? when i was younger, hollowground was THE fashion......it is basically a flat grind with secondary cutting bevel, a very simple knife not deserving to get caught in all the grind hyperbole so fashionable just now, most grinds luck of draw on belt tension anyhow as far as matching any definition

These blades are solid and I think it'll take months if not years for any dulling effect. By then, I'd buy I new one. Good luck, Tony.

No, despite what others have said, these are absolutely not real swords. The cloth around the handle cannot support much use without unraveling, the steel is stainless (stainless steel cannot be used in swords; stainless steel metal becomes very brittle over 7 inches), and the holes and the saw-like serrated edge are purely for looks. The holes detract from structural integrity, and the serrated edge, if used as an actual sword/machete, will get caught on near everything it comes in contact with. They also cannot be sharpened without a stone and great difficulty. These are purely for show.

These suck big time, do not buy. they are stiff and if you try to bend them they break. Try to find them in some other website. uline.com If you buy them you are taking a chance. Just my opinion. Good Luck

The blade isas de of soft metals. The tips will bend if you use then the are for show only. The have two powerful magnets at the thick part to the them together.
