Yeah honestly this sign just screams "I don't understand my audience". Like, you're selling nerdy swords to nerds in a store that seemingly caters to nerd stuff - of course the nerds interested in your products are gonna do nerdy stuff with it.

One presumes that idiots have broken several it hurt each other by the time this sign came about.

I check the heft and balance of sticks I throw for my dog, not because I'm an expert stickmaster, but because it's nice to know the weight and feel of something before I start swinging it around and throwing it.

I'm judgemental towards you, also please buy my stuff!

Way to communicate contempt for your customers. If you're in the business of selling decorative replicas of cartoon swords, you need to be in on the kayfabe. Nobody is expecting to take one of these to a real swordfight. What they are expecting, however, is to have a cool prop to show their friends, and it's not unreasonable to expect the cool prop to feel like it's not trying to fly across the yard if you swing it around.

If you don't want people to touch the merchandise, the second sign is all you need.
