Hello!
I have a sword (which i'm planning on altering the handle into a prop)
it's edges are NOT sharpened
but it has a pointy end
It is made of metal

Will this get taken?

No. We don't peace-bond metal swords.

...so why do you say "live steel" rather than "all steel"?
thanks for the update
(although i am a little depressed)

Any sword which is made of metal is made to be potentially sharpened. It's the way they're designed. So all metal swords are "live steel"

What people have done in the past to still have something to carry is cutting off the blade and attaching the handle to hilt. That's your choice though. Other people have substituted bokken, because they basically look like sheathed swords-- unless your sword would be a western-style sword rather than a katana-- and they can be made to work.

"handle to hilt"?
a hilt is a handle isn't it?
well i guess thanks is order (it would have sucked to finish the prop and then figure this out)
i'll just make the whole thing out of expandable foam and be done with it >.>

So to be clear on the sword, as long as it doesn't have a sharp tip and not metal it can be peace bonded right?
Therefore Rukia's white sword (wooded) would be okay?
