1.0 out of 5 stars not too durable, May 14, 2010

This is similar to what I have used back home at my dojo in outlook, but is far less durable than the ones I have used before.
Being a sparring sword in nature, it should be able to take certain amount of abuse, but this broke in first 20 minutes of hard sparring. Left with one sword I decided to use it for cutting news papers for practice. This lasted me about a week until I decided to cut multiple newspapers at a time hanging from string, and it broke on paper. Gotta say rather unreliable. Both snapped just below tsuba. Seems like the PVC pipe used inside the foam is not very strong.

My 8 year old daughter had a lot of fun with these but one broken on the second day. Not meant for more than light contact. Probably what they are intended for but kids will play harder with them so be careful.
