I'm not a straggot and engage in physical hobbies not metal Funko pop collecting. So my swords actually are practical and see use. Wipe down and oil after use is all you need to do.
They're for HEMA. Historical European Martial Arts. You study longsword techniques from either Germany, or Italy and put them into practice through tournaments, sparring etc. It's kind of an expensive hobby because you need a bunch of protective gear since you're doing full strength blows with steel swords. It's why the one is so chipped up and dinged.
Gear wise it's like fencing gear but more intense so you don't get killed.
They are completely dull. Edges are rounded. People buy sharp longswords to cut reeds or pumpkins just to see if you have your cuts and edge alignment right. It's fun.

Na it's embarrassing, I keep it in a closet lmao. Bought it when I was giga drunk (along with an Anduril replica). I probably would hang it up but I'm scared my dog would rattle it and kill himself somehow by making it fall, it's quite pointy actually.
It would probably be a centerpiece for widespread chatter if you were to mass-murder with it.
Imagine continuing the carnage after it's already been bent into a banana shape. There would be discussions about physics, leverage, the carni menace and the possibilities of downtrodden men.

HEMA looks like a lot of fun. I would try longsword fencing if I had the time

Learning a language is also a very good thing to do. Unless it's Norse runes: then you're just larping. Same thing here.

Yes. Either practise an approved Olympic sport, or stimulate the economy by eating 20,000 calories per day.

I'd guess the edges aren't very sharp then?

The 'sword' in that image looks like a carnival prize made from pop-metal. Glenn Danzig could probably also sue for copyright infringement.
You'd be better off with a decent tire iron or a pool noodle.

It's hilariously poorly weighted, it's definitely just a replica dumb prop. It probably weighs about 15 lbs or more
