 This is not a waster ... its a wooden toy.May 12, 2011
By David N. Lanyon
I was curious as to how this would hold up as it is being sold as a 'waster'. It is not a waster, for child or adult. By terming it a waster, you are denoting it as able to hold up to sparring and kata work. I took this and one from another seller to my sword group. This one snapped on a simple bounce swing.
One of my teammates works with wood in a furniture shop and agreed with me about this being made from a cheap wood, not a good hard wood like maple or walnut. I also say this is not a toy for kids. The reason for this is the fact that when the blade snapped it left a nice sharp point which could easily injure.

 GreatOct 25, 2010
By Garritios
It is a great practice tool but I don't think it would hold up during sparing. Its great for single practice or low contact training with a friend.
My only complaints are that the black stripes on the handle are literally just electrical tape and there is a nail sticking out very slightly on the pommel (only enough for you to know it is there if you grab the pommel, which you won't need to).

i bought one of these a while back and its a piece of junk poorly made falls apart if you decide to use it. and of course its ease of use is ranked its a pretty stick. so save you money and find a normal stick and carve your own.
Good costume swordJun 27, 2011
By Bubba
I bought this sword to wear with a medieval costume. It is full size and looks quite nice. It is made of wood, but it is NOT strong enough to use in a practice sword fight. This sword is best used as a display or part of a costume. It is easy to modify and looks authentic if you paint it silver and wrap the handle in leather.
Wood sword - Not for real practiceSep 18, 2010
By Andreas Schneider
This sword is a good sword to use at a renfest if you dont want a real one, but it is NOT a real practice sword. OK, if you practice without making contact, this sword will do fine. If you actally want to have contact this sword is not made to last.
