Can this sword be used to defend my village from barbarians?

Yes, if the barbarians have used up all their ammo.

Does it come with cold steel proof papers so you know its really from cold steel

Negative. However none of the large blades from cold steel come with "proof papers". if you are buying this product from Amazon I am very certain that they would not be selling fake reproductions which would hurt their credibility.

Is there a way to strap it to a bug out bag?

If you sewed straps to your bag to hold the sword it could work.

Yes the Grosse Messer does come sharpened. It is not hair popping sharp but not many swords are. The factory edge in mine was more than "battle worthy" though. One could make the edge extremely sharp with a little elbow grease.
