can you cut big nettles with them.

They laugh at nettles - why, they'd even take on your brambles and wade through your ivy like it wasn't there!
Might make the neighbours nervous though?

Two questions.

The katanas; tempered to take an edge, or just training swords?

The viking: reneactment as in "few back then would been able to tell the difference", "looks good on your hip" or as in "steel demo fighting blade (i.e. soft temper, no edge)"? What kind of tang is there in it?

IIRC the katana blade manufacturer stated the blades had an edge of approx 65Rc with a spine of 45Rc so they will take an edge.

The Viking sword is a re-enactment quality sword with blunt edges - it came from the same place as these ones:
