Who made this sword and what material is the blade made of?

Sword is made in China. Made of steel. Some parts stainless. Not tempered steel, so it will bend. As a matter of fact, Packaging of the sword I received was very poor and it was bent. I was able to straighten the blade myself. Very attractive but truly for display only. Been hanging on the wall and has not displayed any rust.

The blade is made of Krupp 1.4116 steel. This is a German steel and is very easy to sharpen. The steel is stainless and requires no extra maintenance or oil.

the sword is made of cheap plastic. An adult can bend the sword blade, but the sword can hurt someone if they are hit with it or stabbed at. I gave it to my 2 1/2 year old and as long as he wasn't swinging it wildly it was ok. We had to correct him several times to not hit the dogs with it.

The blade is stainless steel, and the hilt seems to us to be some sort of very resilient high-end plastic (nice enough that we debated whether it's plastic or some sort of diecast metal at first).

It has a acid etched hamon and is 1045 steel, the one that has real hamon from clay coating the edge and oil or water quenching which tempers the cutting edge harder is 1060 steel and about $100! It takes a lot more work and risk of breaking the blade so always make sure it says hand tempered and what method they use. This sword still cuts fine, even bamboo(not recommended)and is very good for the price. I bought mine to practice so my nicer real hamon tempered ones don't get hurt.

The wood seems to be bamboo not really sturdy it wood break I am sure if you hit someone with the sheath but for holding the sword its fine.I cant say what type of steel it is it looks to be two types as it has a nice blend looking pattern where the edge is one metal and the back of the blade is another.It does hold an edge well it seems my son sharpened it and its scary sharp cut my thumb just checking it.Now is it a real fighting sword no I am sure it wouldn't hold up but it does look nice for the price and would be a nice present for a amateur collector.Do note its super bright red scabbard not wood color like he picture seems.

the majority of the blade is like Styrofoam while the flat parts of the blade is a hard plastic. The hilt is a plastic tube while the guard is similar to the blade in construction.

This information should be changed then in the short description at the top "Includes: Replica Wooden Sword" since the material assumed for the sword would be wood not metal.

The sword is for display. Or for use as a prop. Is there any other use for a sword nowadays? I don't know what kind of steel it is, but it looks like stainless steel with a mirror finish. The sword doesn't have a sharp edge, but you can't tell that it isn't sharp until you touch it.

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.

I'm fairly positive this is a Hanwei forge sword, spec say it's .18 inches thick at the spine. I do not have mine to measure offhand, as it lives in my car with my other gear so I don't forget to bring it to practice.

I don't know the origin. It was made of steel mixed with hard plastic. My grandson seemed to like it. I thought it was a little pricey for what it was.

The sword is fully tanged which means it was fully built all the way into the handle and is sharp the entire length of the blade. When I looked online I saw there are cheap versions of this sword but I paid for this fully tanged one because it is what I wanted. I maintain the blade and it is a well made great sword. Fully sharpened. Not a toy. I hope this helps.

England I believe with Damascus steel. Amazing blades for sure! Use frog lube on them when you get 'em.

The blade is stamped "Pakistan", so I assume that is where it is made. Most swords from Pakistan are very cheap. This sword is definitely a cheap sword but it looks cool and most people won't think it is a cheap sword.

It's made out of a durable plastic. I love this knife. The sheath allows u to carry horizontally on your was which is nice when u bend over
