Most of what I've seen are pretty horrid. They handle about as well as a pool noodle with a PVC core (since that's basically what they are). They certainly have no realistic feeling in the bind. And plate will definately rip them apart. I can't recommend them for any WMA type of use. They might be fine for film, LARP, or something that doesn't require it to handle like a real sword.
