I bought these to play "ninja turtles" with my two sons. They really enjoy running around and "fighting" the bad guys (me) with these foam swords. The swords are nice and soft and have not sharp or hard points anywhere on them, they are soft enough to get hit with in almost any part of the body. I recommend them for kids who like to roughhouse.
Bought it for my son's 6th birthday and he lives it. He loves ninja turtles and runs around the house With swords in hand. The sword is perfect, foam blade and durable but not so hard where he could hurt himself or others.
