[sumo]

do you sharpen the swords you use in your videos or are they out of the box ? :)]

[Jason Moore]

All of the swords from our videos are straight from the box to the videos.

Welcome to the forum.;)

LOL. Mako, I really tried hard to think of the right way to answer that question, but that was just brilliant.

To be serious though, welcome to the forum Shinobi, this is my favorite spot for sword related info and the perfect place if you have ANY questions.

As far as the individual sword sharpness a great place to find out is the sword review section here:
http://swordsofmightforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16,
The review section gets updated very often right now because we have an awesome review contest going on.

Keep in mind some of the swords reviewed are from various sword companies, but you can get a great idea of the products available through S.O.M.

ehh, thats too bad. I guess Is it possible in any shape, way or form to purchase one of your reverse blade swords unsharpened? I am looking for a high quality costume prop, and yours look very nice. However I need an unsharpened blade for safety reasons. :-/

[Brian Brazier]

you could take the edge off, not sure how to do it (I'm sure someone can tell you how)

just out of curiosity, why do you need a reverse blade?

Welcome to the Forum Rurouni!

He said he needs it for a costume (and his name is Rurouni) so I would guess he is going as a reverse blade wearing guy.

This one is not very sharp: (But still has an edge)

The edge can be taken off with a file or a grinder/dremmel. Cool the blade so you do not aneal the steel on the cutting edge and it can be resharpened again. Don't let the steel change color to a blue or black, yellow is about as hot as you want the metal to get before ruining the temper. That is my 2 cents for what it is worth.

You could just get one of the decorative reverse blade swords. They aren't all that sharp. If your going to cosplay the convention will most likely tape your sword to its scabbard anyway.
