can it take a strong blow from another sword

Have not got around to abusing it to test yet, so I'm not sure but from the look and feel it should

It's not folded......Just because you stain it Damascus Style does not mean it's folded. For decoration you can't beat the price. For battle, Beware !!!!!!

The blade is not sharp, except for the tip. If anything, the look of the sword would be intimidating enough. That being said, it's still heavy and blunt, so hitting an invader with it could do something. However, it IS a beautiful work of art and shouldn't be used in that way.

no. i tested this in a three foot piece on pvc pipe, and it did not make a good strong force at the other end. the force was stronger without this product.

it is a bastard sword so as long as you're a relatively strong dude, you should be able to wield with one hand

I don't see why that would be a problem, the blade is all wood. There is a small magnet near the tsuba that helps keep the sword in.

You can duel with it but it is not designed to take a beating. You will want one of those more durable ones that are available.

It's a great katana, it's sharp, sturdy, and strong and you can cut practical things with it but I wouldn't use it in sword to sword combat.

Don't risk breaking a 170$ sword, it's a wall hanger/display piece. To put it frankly it does have some "value", but that ceases when you damage it (and it will get damaged in fact), furthermore you don't want it to be sharp, that will just make handling it awkward and potentially dangerous for kids or house guests who find it interesting. If you want a sword you can use you have to buy a sword you can use, and this isn't it.

I'd say yes, within reason. It is stiff but has a cushioned layer - I think you'd need to intend to hurt your opponent. It is great for sword play - the best we've ever had for sword play.

First off, this is NOT a light sword. This sword is around 7-8 lbs and it is made out of metal. However, the blade rusts easily and requires shining multiple times. Yes, you could fight with this sword, but don't make it a full fight, you could potentially damage the blade.

Its good for deep hacking and damage. It is a sword between 8-10 pounds and although isn't crazy sharp due to the weight an wedge like blade style will go deeply in logs and other hard surfaces. If you are not carful the blade at the hilt will bend.

Hello, i'm not sure about that,i would access Excalibur's site to find out for sure. If you shoot the wrong arrows you could blow the limbs,you don't want that to happen! Sorry i couldn't be more helpful.

It's actually quite strong. In the hands of a trained individual, they are capable of breaking cinder blocks. In the hands of an trained individual, you'll just do a lot of damage to the blade.

Well I use it more for display, but it is pretty heavy and sturdy and sharp at the end. My guess would be if you are very careful it wouldn't break. I saw a video of someone using the sword to chop a wooden beam in half, but then again it is a cosplaying sword

eh it can but not as much as id like it to. but if you get it sharp it is a good sword.

I think it depends on how hard you intend to clash swords. Mine seems very strong, but I have not tried to bring it down on anything. I know the scabbard could be a higher quality, but for the price I think I made a good investment.

Yes the sword is very sturdy, I love it. And you can swing it but it weighs a good amount so I wouldn't use one hand but you can swing it perfectly fine.
