Question 1

Is it worth getting it

Accepted Answer

For a Renaissance Festival costume or Halloween, or even a display piece. Very nice and authentic looking. But it is very cheap quality. Swing it hard a few times just through the air and the blade will come loose and the handle will bend. Its not full tang. The handle is a steel rod encased in plastic on the outside. Had to bend it straight twice. But it looks plenty badass when you wear it in costume.

Question 2

Would this sword hold up to being swung around and maybe hitting light things like boxes? (just an example.)

Accepted Answer

It has a sharp edge and would probably cut cardboard well. I ue it as a decorstion. Starfire swords for combatThey are made for hacking.No edge so they dont kill actors.

Question 3

how heavy is it?

Accepted Answer

I don't have a scale handy but both the sword and scabbard have some heft.

Question 4

Is there any way to hang this with a baldric or anything similar to wear with armor?

Accepted Answer

Hello,Yes if you are crafty with leather and steel, you can wear it as the romans did. The chain is far too flimsy to hope to use it as is, however, when you remove the chain it becomes much easier to attach.Take a look at maille online, create a few ring segments attached where the chain was. I would suggest you create the butted maile sections onto a leather strap( if you attempt regular chain mail pieces your gonna have a bad time). Take a look online on what kind of strap you would like. It is quite possible where the metal on the scarab is pretty strong.Hope this helps!
