otaku gearFull Size Medieval Foam Practice Sword for Cosplay LARP Costume Halloween

I did compare it to a sword I got from Spirit Halloween a while back.I have one complaint about the sword. The description said 45 inch blade. I didn't know if that refered to the blade or the sword as a whole, I was expecting an about 4'2 or 3'8 sword, only to get 41 inch (3ft 5in) in total sword. (The other one is 3'3 total) —— However... while I did not get the size I wanted... the sword itself makes up for it.The other sword, along with the other foam weapons I collect, I like to add an additional layer of foam to so I can hit unarmored children with them (the children are either my younger siblings andor willing).But this sword is actually soft and flexible enough that I don't even need to do that! Which is an additional plus because now I don't have to cover the good looks of the sword!Weight: The sword is suprizingly light, almost half the weight of the other one. Very easily maneuverable!Grips: with the other sword, I can hammer grip and handshake grip just fine, finger grip, decent, and thumb grip, not too well. —— This sword however, all four grips work and feel great!Two-handing: with the other sword, two-handing puts both hands against each other, which is all fine for a one-handed sword, — but this one has good two-handing! And the hand grips feel great!Half-swording and Mordschlag: First off, half-swording and mordschlag are both techniques used against plate armor. – Half-swording is where one hand goes on the blade for more precise control from getting the cracks of plate armor or fighting in a confined space. – Mordshlag is where you hold the sword upside-down, by the blade. Used for against plate armor to deal bludgeoning instead of slashing or stabing.The other one does good, but this one even better!Guard: The guard is nice and wide! Good protection!Pommel: The pommel is also cool! And wouldn't hurt to hit with if need be.Overall, I really like the sword, how it handles, looks, feels, hits.

Bought this for a Halloween costume. Well made but not sturdy enough for light sparring but it looks great. Especially for a fan of The Witcher.

Perfect for my cosplay!

Looks really nice, high quality and seems like it will hold up well for costuming/cosplay. Doesn't look cheap or dull like some fake swords

This is hard foam, not a soft foam. It will be rejected at official LARP events. Best for cosplay, or for Renaissance Fair, or halloween. Kids can use it but expect SOMEONE to come back crying. Don't worry, though, bruises only teach kids to get better at swordplay. Remember the battlecry "not the face!" during games and it should be fine. Unless if the other person is just trying to hand out candy. Then you should probably stop whatever your kids are doing.Durable construction, decent design (the guard is pretty sturdy), good size for one or two-handed sword, and decent price. Just not good for LARP.

Looks great on the wall. Would also be great for cosplay/Halloween/etc. Looks cool, but safe.

If you are looking for a costume piece or even a cheap display piece this foam sword is great! I looks pretty good for a foam sword. Faithful to the sword used by Ciri in The Witcher 3. It has some wiggle to it but I believe it has a fiberglass core that gives it a decent rigidity. I'm not sure if it would be acceptable for fighting LARP stuff because of that. But it's great for my renfaire outfit, light and safe. And for the price you won't be disappointed!

Bought it for a costume party. Cool toy or prop. Looks good.
