1 It's strong if you arn't hitting it against things it shoulden't be used against (ie: fire hydrants, rocks, cement). 2 Not completely sure of the gauge. It's average though (if you own other similar swords) 3 It bends and can come loose from the hilt if you hit inapropriate things. It can't chip but you can gaff the blade, especialy if you had had it sharpened.

I doubt it. It's strong but I don't know about that strong. Why would you test that though? Lol

Not much at all. It has some weight obviously because it is meant to be strong. I would say maybe 2 lbs max if that

The sword is not sharpened. It is solid, but it not sharpened to an edge. It won't cut as it comes from the manufacturer. However, although the point is not sharpened, it has enough of an edge to it that enough force could cause injury. I wouldn't give it to young kids.

I cannot be a hundred percent but in taking a quick check it look like maybe one but this sword is very nice to own. My son loves it. He really would be a better person to answer this question.

It's not that heavy I'm very little and I can hold it with out a problem. But it is a exact rep. Of samurai katana sword. My brother is a nut about this stuff. And it came in amazing condition

Hey there : ) I'll try to answer your question. The most fragile piece of the figure is most definitely the sword. It's extremely thin, hard plastic. It wont break if you drop it (probably) but if you put even a little strain on it, it will snap like a dry twig. I would reccomend never trying to put the sword in it's sheath, the fit is extremely tight and if ANYTHING is going to snap it, that will. Simply putting it in his hand shouldnt be too big of a deal, as you can remove the pommel so it will slide in better. Either way you have to be extremely careful with the sword. The rest of the figure (body, head, etc) is all pretty sturdy in my opinion and you dont need to worry about those. The shield has a couple of brittle detachable hand-holds on it, so those might break if you werent careful with them, but the sword is really the main concern. I think you should be ok as long as youre very careful with the sword and dont put too much pressure on it. Never put it in his sheath, as that is what puts the most strain on it.

It's a wooden practice sword, but yes it's strong and would hurt if it hit someone.

the thickest part is 2.9mm, the thinnest part is 1.4mm. This sword is pretty but it is just a bit too heavy for daily practice.

I bought both, the sword and the shield and together both weighted 22 pounds, I cannot tell you how much it weighted just the sword, sorry.

I'm not sure. It is pretty strong. I was able to punch through several pieces of poster board at once if that helps

Yes, but i wouldnt reccomend it. The sword is very fragile and will snap if you arent extremely careful.

The sword I have is a bone sword with the sheath and not very heavy, however it is 33" long, you should be good to go. E

It's pretty sturdy. Ours has lasted since Halloween and if the sword battles are kept to a minimum it probably won't break.

the sword demon sword is a better sword because one it looks more like a master sword and two it is a stronger sword. this 27 dollar sword is so weak it will bend underneath its own weight. Just go for the Sword Demon one. And it also comes ith a sheath.
