Katana Sword, Fully Handmade Real Japanese Sword High Carbon Steel Samurai Sword with Wooden Scabbard Alloy Guard

Delivered quickly, packed seemed well protected although there's a chip in the coating on the sheath and a few minor imperfections on the handle. Still looks great on display though. Haven't really used it for any actually tasks that would indicate the use of a sword. In fact I'm not sure I ever will be in a situation in which a sword will be the best tool to call upon. Yet, if that situation were to arise at least I'll be well prepared. I did however slice a papaya with this sword, probably more difficult a task than using an actual kitchen knife, but also more fun this way. The papaya was delicious. It's possible the sword actually made the papaya taste better but I only had one papaya so I was unable to perform an experiment with a control group. Even if I had more papaya to cut with other swords and knives all papayas are different so the reliability of the study would be poor.I recently moved and I keep the sword in my bedroom, it actually provides some piece of mind at night in the event there were an intruder. I like to imagine that if someone were to break in with thoughts of robbing or even raping my fiancee and me those thoughts would quickly dissipate once they saw me standing naked with my shaft in one hand, while I clutch my sword in the other. I think a sword is the last weapon an intruder would expect to encounter, perhaps not as fatal as a handgun but definitely as intimidating if not more so because seriously who owns a sword? I do, I own a sword.

It isn't really that sharp from the factory. I sharpened it and then cut down about fifty thick sumack. some of it was 3" thick. It cut through everything. You can purchase a better quality sword right off of Amazon for half the money. For $299 through another place that distributes swords you can have custom made swords. There isn't as much value at the moment in these. Purchase a nice sword with certifications and someday soon they will be worth the investment. Shop wisely. I enjoy the swords I have. Damascus steel I find more interesting. I've found this one to be pretty much indestructible. It has a heavy 1060 blade. I have two acid etched katana. One was $130 with certifications. The other was only $110. That was custom made. In Japan they would be worth thousands. I consider them artwork. I love all of my Swords. When I can. This is heavy. It's well made. I like my 1065 carbon steel katana that weighs a little less. I've cut down small trees with this sword!

This is my first katana & I was concerned I would be getting a lesser version of what I saw in the pics but I'm happy to say the least. This is a work of art. It definitely won't be used for much beyond display but that's not because it feels cheap. This sword is solid ! It came fast too. As I mentioned, this is my first sword but I looked it over & I can't find a flaw. The only reason I didnt include a pic of the blade is because it came high oiled & I still need to order a display stand . The only thing you might want to consider is that this sword is a bit flashy with the gold .

My son likes it so I’ll give it 4. I don’t know much about swords, but the handle was wrapped in cellophane with a big “made in China” sticker on handle. Kinda odd for a “handmade Japanese” sword...

This was a gift for my husband who collects swords and sadly we were both displeased with this one. The coloring is beautiful. However in the pictures it shows it having an edge on it and ours very clearly did not.

Sword is well made and in excellent condition. Very well put together and has no loose parts. Sword had no hamon, but is a great addition to my collection.

Very loose. Blade came semi sharp. It's not bad

I almost got the $40 kill bill replica sword but instead wanted something more real. It came crazy fast and sharp. The plants in my yard got a slashing and I broke some pots on accident but the thing was solid! I got the Blue sword (there was a black sword and a red sword)My friend was over at my house when it got delivered and immediately got on Amazon and bought one too.My next move is some YouTube tutorials so I can be ready for Zee Zombies. I already feel safer with it in the house. Haha

Excelente!!! Es justo como en la foto.
