Cold Steel's polypropylene hand and a half training sword is a tough, sword-shaped prop that works well for cosplay or ren fest setups where real steel is restricted. It is durable enough for hard whacks, can be painted to taste, and pairs with the matching buckler for a fuller medieval look. The tradeoff is that it is very tip-heavy and cannot cut like a real sword, so it is better for practice, display, or controlled sparring than for casual rough use. It still demands respect because it can cause serious injury if mishandled.
The training sword can work well for cosplay or ren fest setups with restrictions on carrying full-length steel swords.
The polypropylene training sword can be used like a tough, sword-shaped baseball bat without cutting like a hardened blade.
The polypropylene training pieces have been tested in Cold Steel's long-running official test video to show the material can do damage.
The sword can be paired with a matching buckler accessory to create a more complete play setup.
The training sword is relatively tip-heavy, which can make it awkward for training use.

The girls will never get to you now!
There's also this whole subculture of the largest paramilitary organization in the world [they displaced the Boy Scouts a couple of decades ago, when Scouting was being destroyed by petty legal b.s. by sh!theads who wanted their androgynous daughter to be in the Boy scouts, because they failed high school biology (which incidentally, directly led to their getting knocked up at an early age, but I digress...)] called the SCA [Society for Creative Anachronism." They get together and have these big wars in armor; this wouldn't be used for that [what they actually use are more like wooden clubs w/ sword grips] but they have all kinds of other festivities going on alongside the war, so I'm sure there's some theatrical demos there that would use something like this...
