Sufficiently strong. If you swing it around and play with it and stuff like that, it won't break. Mine still hasn't broken =). But if you're expecting blade strength comparable to that of some of Cold Steel's blades, you're getting the wrong product.

The handle is metal and very sturdy. However there are plastic attachment tabs that clamp onto the replaceable blade, and if you drop the razor these tabs can break off so be careful.

The blade is relatively strong, but because the handle is plastic, it doesn't leave you with a secure feeling. There are better knives out there that are either the same price or slightly more expensive. I wouldn't purchase this knife again.

Not sure I have not taken the handle apart. How ever I see two rivets in the handle an feels like its full tang. I would put it up against zombies after sharping it And would feel safe with it. Lol a good quality practice sword for the money

It is heavy steel so I would suggest buying one with a fiberglass or wooden handle I did not throw it it is for breaking into things or chopping things

The handle pretty strong and sharp to me. I like the price but I have to push hard the knife edge every time I want to close it.

Not sure how to answer that but the blade is very sturdy and not large in any dimension. Its very slim from any dimension

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

The handle requires some strength to attach to the actual mower (we needed two people to apply tension to attach it) and once in place, is very sturdy. It is not particularly flimsy at all, in my opinion.

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 seems strong BUT here's the problem. Because it does not have a full tang, after only a few throws (hits and misses), the blade head loosens slightly from the handle and will in time become even more loose. The weakness is the ax head held in place by a band of sheet metal near the top of the handle. The band is not strong enough to endure the throws, eventually bending/ crimping at the point of contact with the " metal wings " that stabilizes the ax blade to the handle. This loosening will get worse and there is no fix to this problem.

Not very hard at all. Let the weight of the knife do most of the work. Have you watched the you tube video yet? It will explain all.

The blade is .155 thick and the handle section is .565 thick, I hope this helps!

The handle and blade are one piece. I would recommend removing the wrap on the handle and replacing it with something smoother.The cord that comes wrapped around it makes it very uncomfortable to hold. Put a sturdy lanyard on the end & you're ready to go.

No way, no how. The handle is strong as can be. Maybe if you let it rot out in the sun and weather for a year and then tried to use it, but who would do that?
