Is it good enough quality for nerf sword fighting?

I would assume that means against similar nerf brand swords? We have a few of those and this is a more sturdy version of them. I have two boys and they often "battle" master sword verses nerf. It's made very similarly but seems to be of better quality maybe or a harder material? It's slightly different but I think in a good way. Hope it helped!

One I just got today was a crap foam quality compared to a black one I got at the SLC-Comic Con where it was a strong and sturdy material all over. and the blue one I just got here was poorly painted.

Unfortunately I personally don't think so, it's slightly Flimsy, be careful of the protruding hilt sides, there is no support there and mine broke off.More of a display kind of thing but you can still fight with it.

not this one but i have another the ocorana of time one is much better quality this one has little tube in it that is much to small and will never hold up

As long as your not stabing yes, thou the crossguard is prone to breaking easyer thant the nerf claymore.

Ours fell apart right when we got it. It's been played with once and broke! So I would say no.

it really depends on what you want to use it for. The blade is well constructed, and would work well, in my opinion, for competition use. As for actual battle purposes it would need to be more along the lines of 1040 or higher carbon steel as opposed to the 440 stainless this is constructed of. The blade can be removed and replaced by simply unscrewing it from the pommel, and you can find a small blacksmith shop that can hook you up with a 1040 carbon steel blade.

Sword is for real. Mine came actually pretty sharp. The sheath came cracked which sucked but its ok. Not to noticeable. And it comes with alot of gel like substance on the blade, i think its to keep from rusting or something. I cant remember, but overall. Very well made considering the price.

It doesn't look like it. Don't get me wrong is sharp as heck. I love mine especially for the price. I expected a cheap crappy sword i could use like a machete, but it actually feels really sturdy. And for the price i can actually use it and not worry about messing it up because i can just buy another one of i do. And do far it's been tough. My son and i have taken it out and cut through all kinds of stuff. 3 or 4 milk jugs full of water etc. It feels like it could take off a small appendage or at least do a lot of damage trying.

it's a decent buy, but only depending on what you're getting it for. if your getting one for sport or anything else that requires the firepower, then no and you need to go higher end by all means. if your talking about something for cosplay or other miscellaneous geekdom, then it's perfect for the price and will handle most abuse you toss at it.

Yes. The sheath isn't the best but the swords are good quality for the price

Owning this blade i do not believe that it would break in a sword fight but i would be wary of using this blade because its extremely sharp.

For light dueling, yes. My brother, who is around your age, and I duel fairly often with our sabers. I have the Force FX, he has the Ultimate FX. Both have held up well through several duels, although we do have an agreement to never hit too hard.

Actually it is! It's quite heavy and durable. I went through a 3-4 inch tree stump pretty easily. I also swing it quite often to practice sword stances. Just be sure to keep it maintained if you get one. That also helps with the durability.

Yeah the whole thing feels sturdy, id rather not choose this sword for cutting just cause im not too sure about the curves on it, I had to re-wrap the hilt just cause the leather wasn't glued on very well. It weighs about 4 lbs so it is plenty sturdy enouch to chop through things. I recommend if you were to chop anything, sharpen it first so it puts less stress on the blade.

Not really they the swords are great also very usable and sharp but the sheath is crappy they tend to poke thru the end of it and if ur not careful they will poke u thru the sheath I would suggest getting a hard leather or wooden sheath.

First let me say that "Battle ready swords" all have carbon steel blades, those with stainless steel are very most often wall hangers (there are exceptions such as those made for the collection of "Lord of the Ring" etc , those are not inexpensive and are very well made and are work of arts, stainless steel is great for blades of 12" or less (there are many different grades of stainless steel) however once the blade is over 12 or so inches, it becomes very brittle. Now back to your question, this particular sword is designed for people learning the art of cutting (go to Youtube you will find many videos on that subject), it has a very nice sharp blade & yes you sure could use it for self defense BUT you should have at least some training on the different types of cuts & slashes, of course if your attacker has a firearm, escaping may be the best option! You also need to see the dimensions of space available since it is not a small blade. My favorite is the CAS HENWEI TACTICAL WAKIZASHI, it is the smaller sized sword, the blade is 20", razor sharp and very quick and agile, check it out here, it is not cheap but well worth it.

First, and believe me I'm not trying to sound like a d!ck, but I don't recommend battling with metal swords. As for your question, it would hold up great as far as the blade is concerned, however the handle is pretty wimpy so if any part of the sword would break it would be that or where the blade connects to the handle. The blade itself is insane, check out youtube: WeAllJuggleKnives does a great demo vid for cutting.

HELL NO! and I would recommend NOT! buying this sword I bought this thinking it would be pretty awesome but its not, the blade was bent and hilt was bent there were scratch's on it the smiley face and chain fell off the second I pulled the sword out, and when I called um for a refund or a trade for a new one they said "NO" and that it wasn't there fault that happened so in a since they said "F" you and that I was out of 40$ so I would HIGHLY recommend NOT! even thinking of buying this sword at all. >:(

That depends on how it is used. This replica is made mostly for display. If you toy with it and swing it gently or use it for non-contact practice, you should not have a problem. The sword is well made but delicate. If you go around reclessly hitting it with other swords and other solid objects(yes including hard wood) you're gonna have a bad time.

The sword is perfectly fine for swordplay, it is a sturdy sword. You shouldn't have to worry about it breaking, I speak from personal experience with the sword.

We use this for jian shu sparring (steel core with poly cover) with full sword strike, punch and kick allowed and it is taking a beating well. I agree with the other person that.at leas a little moleskin if not ear plugs (wouldn't be a good idea with jian shu) is a good idea as it can get ringy without.
