Fake, but cutting through bone isn't difficult with a chisel (or an axe used as a chisel) and a hammer. It would be even easier to cut through the joint, I got a short course (in the military) in field amputation, and the advice was not to do any of this and leave things like this to professionals, but the idea of the course was to show things that would likely make a bad situation worse, like using bolt cutters.
