Constructed from lead and phthalate free material, this heavy grade polypropylene of this training weapon closely replicates the weight and feel of the real thing. This broad sword features a black polypropylene blade with a pointed tip and has an 8-inch curved handle. This training sword is virtually indestructible and offers a safe way to learn the craft of weapons training. Review: Well made for the price point. A lot of thought and creative effort put into its construction. - I was skeptical at first. Hard plastic swords over the internet tend to be hit or miss. Pros - Solid construction. I haven't practiced against hard surfaces or other weapons yet but it feels really good in the hand. It's not your typical toy store plastic sword. This is weighted to be as close to a real sword as possible. The balance I initially thought would be more towards the pommel, surprisingly it actually balances over a third of the way into the blade. Effectively making it sufficient for decent sword play. To that end this is not for kids. As a 190 lb 6 foot man who lifts weights regularly rapid striking and thrusts come easy but I would hazard a guess and say that for others the weight would be a lot more difficult to handle. I really admire the fantasy elements incorporated into it while still making it suitable for sword fighting. It's a mini buster sword or in some ways a mini original Zangetsu(the main weapon in the first arc of Bleach of the protagonist Ichigo) in a lot of ways. That's actually exactly what I was looking for as I'm coming up with a custom Bleach cosplay. Cons - As many have already pointed out it did come with a slight curve, likely damage in transit. It's not very noticeable and probably can be fixed with a weight over time. The box was also opened but the product was intact. No idea if that was customs or just some nosy neighbors. If the latter they better not mess with me now that I'm armed with this. =) While I appreciate that it was made in Taiwan for various sociopolitical reasons, it is emblazoned on an awkwardly prominent place right above the cross guard in noticeable font. Probably not something a good sanding can't fix. In my case I'm incorporating a tassel into that area so it will cover it up no problem. Various minor imperfections like scratches and the like. Being fully black in color covers up for a lot of them and quite honestly any artistic minded folk could find ways to cover them up or improve on them. There isn't a proper photo of the current version that is being shipped out just an angled shot. I attached a picture of the look of the new one and not the one that is the the main photo on the desertcart page. I honestly like this design more as it fits into the more modern aesthetic I needed the sword for but it is a con as its not the one that I thought I was getting. Overall there isn't a lot of negative to say here. Do you like swords? Do you like play fighting or actually learning swordsmanship? Do you wish to waste your enemies with the quick flourish of a blade they did not see coming? This is the sword for you then. I'm eagerly awaiting another blade from the same brand and if the quality stays the same I will gladly be recommending this to anyone who will listen. Also worth noting though I am but a novice to swordsmanship the shorter than average length compared to most other swords plus the weight to me suggests that this one would be quite versatile against a lot of different weapons. The pommel is long enough for me at least to utilize it similar to a hand and a half sword. It can be easily gripped at the back of the blade with the off hand to break guards and move into an opponent and the pommel is large and strong enough that it likely can be used for striking effectively as well. Review: Great practice sword that more closely simulates a steel sword than using a wooden one - I've had one of these, an earlier version, for the past 2 years. Great sword and can easily withstand faster sword forms like Sen Cye Sword. I use it now for my practice and was even allowed to use in in one seniors competition and no one could tell the difference until they looked closely. The reason mine looked so real is that I went to the store and got some brass and silver metallic silver spray paint and painted it up nicely. Paint adheres well unless you want to do some sword fighting, then you have to repaint a bit. Sword looks real with the paint job and has nice detailing. It has the weight of a light sword and handles well. Takes a little getting used to at first if all you are using is a wooden sword. Balance is good. The thing I really like about this is you don't have to worry if someone steals it due to its low cost and there is no worry about using it in the rain, rust, or it falling apart (as it consists of only two parts the guard that slides over the sword blade and handle and snugs in place). Only complaint is that if you leave it leaning on the wall the blade gets a bit curved and you have to bend it back the other way a little to straighten it out, not a real problem. Blade is thick enough to withstand mock sword drills with another person having a wooden or polypropylene sword. Great buy if you are starting out. I don't use my wood sword any more since I started using this one for form practice. If I needed another practice sword this in my opinion is the way to go instead of a wooden sword. ## Features - HIGH QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Made from durable black polypropylene that is highly resistant to denting and breaking, manufactured in Taiwan with lead and phthalate free materials - OPTIMAL BALANCE: Features perfect weight distribution for effective martial arts training and conditioning exercises - SAFE TRAINING DESIGN: Rounded tip and no sharp edges make this ideal for armored sparring, practice drills, and training sessions without risk of injury - VERSATILE USE: Perfect for martial arts practice, conditioning drills, cosplay, and various training applications with durable polymer blade construction ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0088BANBY | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,383 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #2 in Martial Arts Practice Swords | | Blade Length | 28 Inches | | Blade Material | Polymer | | Blade Material Type | Polymer | | Brand | MASTER USA | | Brand Name | MASTER USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,646 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00805319218159 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Polymer | | Included Components | see description | | Item Dimensions L x W | 41"L x 2.5"W | | Item Type Name | BladesUSA 1606PP Martial Arts Training Broad Sword, Polypropylene, Black, 34-1/2-Inch Length | | Manufacturer | Master Cutlery LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1606PP-MC | | Model Number | 1606PP | | Product Dimensions | 41"L x 2.5"W | | Product Style | Arabian Swor | | Style | Arabian Swor | | UPC | 805319218159 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 28 Inches - **Blade Material:** Polymer - **Brand:** MASTER USA - **Handle Material:** Polymer - **Style:** Arabian Swor ## Images ![Master USA Polymer Training Equipment, Black Polypropylene Blade, Martial Arts Training Gear, Rounded Tip- Practice, Cosplay - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sip9o8+zL.jpg) ![Master USA Polymer Training Equipment, Black Polypropylene Blade, Martial Arts Training Gear, Rounded Tip- Practice, Cosplay - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+cD7j+pWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made for the price point.

This ended up being the ideal length but I had a slight concern about it being all black, as I needed it to look like a real sword. I figured I might be able to paint it and make it look more legit, and the price was low enough I decided to take a chance. So glad I did!! This prop is solid polypropylene, so has quite a bit of heft to it. The blade edge is rounded so there is nothing even remotely sharp, though if you really wanted to you could file the edges to create the appearance of sharpness (again the entire thing is one solid piece of injection molded plastic). I left the edges as is, but it will still cause serious damage if you hit someone with it simply due to the weight. To paint it, I used simple rattle can primer over the entire thing (just make sure you use something that will bond to plastic), sanded, and repeated three times to get a nice base. For the blade I used a "steel" spray paint, again doing three separate coats and letting it fully dry between each coat. The pommel and guard I used an airbrush with a brass acrylic paint...also three coats...followed up with a black wash and then some additional highlights. The whole thing was then covered up with three coats of satin varnish. The picture shows what the end result looks like. I will wrap the handle with some dark maroon leather to give it a bit of flair. If you are looking for a nice LARP or RenFair sword, and you have the patience and means to paint, I can't recommend this item enough. ## Frequently Bought Together - BladesUSA 1606PP Martial Arts Polypropylene Sword Training Equipment – 33.75-inches Overall, 8-inch handle, Self Defense, Training, Safe, Easy, Fun, Cosplay, Martial Arts Black - Cold Steel Training Dagger Polypropylene Handle with Blunt - Polypropylene Katana Sword - Japanese Training Samurai Sword, Blunt Longsword, Martial Arts Practice Katana for Men and Women, Cosplay Sword, Safe, Easy, Fun, Durable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1402977-master-usa-polymer-training-equipment-black-polypropylene-blade-martial-arts](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1402977-master-usa-polymer-training-equipment-black-polypropylene-blade-martial-arts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
