Does the sword shine like actual metal? From the pictures, it looks like it's plastic. And is the sword sharp? The tip looks a bit dull.

The sword is black so it doesn't shine. The tip is rounded but comes to a point so u don't have to worry about stabbing yourself. The key chain itself is big.

Its not sharp and does not shine but it is metal and is the rough texture like the one in phone anti glare screen protectors, reflects a bit of light.

The sword and scabbard are made of metal, so they have good weight (lol), but they are merely painted black so they are fairly dull. They shine a little when brand new, but fade after a month. It still looks really cool though. It will get you stopped at airports though, and you won't be able enter any government buildings with it, because even though its dull, they still count it as a knife. (I'm an employee of the State of California.)

The Sword is real stainless Steal, and no it's no sharp but you can sharp it if you want...

It's "factory sharp", I believe. The 'sides' are not sharpened, they're thick and flat. The tip, however, is pointy enough to be sharp. There still really isn't an 'edge' to the sword, but you can hurt someone with the tip, if that's what you were asking. Otherwise, no edge.

It would be hard and very expensive to test the metal, (sending it to a lab for a carbon assessment), but from what the sword is advertised as, and from personal experience, I would say it is untreated 1045 high carbon steel. I say "high" carbon, but 1045 is still a pretty soft steel. This isn't meant as a beater, but it still looks awesome and cuts well.

The sword I purchased is nice quality. The blade came semi-sharp, I sharpened it and it took a nice edge. I notice no wear or loss of integrity after using it for cuts. The tang (full) is still pretty sturdy, looks well made to me. If your's is not of the same quality I would contact them about it.

Hi Jane, I returned it, the metal was to thin/flimsy.I did get a Sharper Image model, love it, cost more but it was worth it. -Joe

It's pretty heavy. Full size and not meant as a toy. The sword is also FULL size and sharp. These items are meant just to be displayed. Hope this helps

Yes it can be sharpened; the blade is metal and can be sharpened like a standard knife/sword. I have not sharpened it because it came pretty sharp (mainly at the tip) and also it was for my son where the duller the better!

Yes, it's a very real and heavy metal. It's not sharp on the sides of the blade (which is good because you or someone near by would definitely get hurt) but the tip is pointed and sharp enough to penetrate an object given enough force. I bought a few Zelda swords and this is by far the best. It has an incredible weight and feel to it that you'll love. I also found a great sheild that isn't cheaply made if you're looking for that as well!

This was not the description when I bought. Mine had a dull blade as it was just a practice sword. This description sounds like it may have a sharp blade. Ours did not have an LED light, that seems a bit cheesy to me. I guess if you want a sword that lights in the dark this would be the sword. I would recommend emailing the seller. We do love our sword though! It still looks like the one we bought and we would absolutely recommend this sword. And for the price you can't go wrong.

The markings on the sheath are all gold. The top part of it and the top are painted gold and the middle designs are stickers. It is all plastic except the blade, which has an extremely sharp tip. Very high quality replica.

It is an actual training sword. I purchased it for cosplay purposes. It is a very nice sword. My daughter and her friends did do some sword on sword playing and she had no issues and there was no damage. In reading the other comments about breakage.. I can't say how rough their training was or what they were coming in contact with to make their swords break or chip.

the sword fits nicely into the loops and looks good together. my 10 yr old son was very happy with the setup. the only issue we had was a poorly glued handle on the sword which i took care of with some good ol' wood glue and a proper amount of drying time. hope this is helpful.

Yes, it is made of stainless steel and has sharpen edges. It is basically a real sword, though heavier than a sword would have weighed back in the Middle Ages.

It will come about as sharp as one could expect given the profile of the blade. Its something of a diamond shape in cross section so the grind of the edge doesn't allow for a very fine edge. I managed to get a sharper edge with a fine stone. However, even though its not an exceptionally sharp sword don't expect it to be blunt or in need of excessive grinding or sharpening.

no,if you want a sword to cut this isnt the one, its just ornament (a really cool one though)if you want a sword to fight with this is what you want to look for: sharpness, carbon steel (stainless is really brittle and breaks easily), and a full tang ( meaning the steel of the blade goes through the handle all the way (like when you see a kitchen knifes handle being metal sandwitched by two pieces of plastic to make the grip comfortable))sry for the late response

Nah bro, they don't tell you but when U get it, you'll notice that only the tip is sharp. The rest of the sword is actually very dull. Will not cut through anything But U can impale I guess
