Real Samurai Sword Hand Forged with T10 Steel Clay Tempered, Full Tang Katana Sword Sharp, 41-Inch

The sword is a really great deal for the price. I wasnt expecting much when I ordered, but the sword was sharp, and nicely polished with a good hamon. The handle feels solid and the wrap is nice and tight. Its really hard to beat for the price.

Excellent craftsmanship, sharp, very exceptional quality. Scabbard is top notch for fit and finish. Comparable to more expensive swords in the $500-600 range.

Very nice and very well made sword.

Beautiful and well made

This was my first purchase I made from Amazon and was super excited when it was delivered. Everything about it met or exceeded my expectations until I noticed that the blade was not aligned straight with the tsuka. The replacement was quick and painless though. They shipped and I received a new one before I even had a chance to return the original. Out of my collection of katana, I call this one "the Boss" because it's blade is a fraction thicker and the tsuka-ito is also a little thicker in my palm. The overall feel is just a little more than my others. The weird thing is they all weigh exactly the same. This is also the least expensive in my collection but it's also one of my favorites. For the price you can't afford not to buy one. It is very well built and a very beautiful and fully functional piece of art.

I did a bit of light research into what kind of metal to look for in a"battle ready" usable sword and came down to either a high carbon spring steel or t10 tool grade steel as nearly equally sturdy blades. When i found this one for this price, I did not believe the specs, but it came with the Amazon return refund policy. I ordered this, and I do not have any regrets. This is a stunning full tang genuine clay treated t10 steel blade. I have been swinging it around for several days and done some yard work level chopping, and this thing holds strong. First of all, it comes razor sharp so watch out haha. There is no give, wiggle or rattle to the blade what so ever. Absolutely worth the $119 I paid for it. Beautiful and fully functional.

Honesty in marketing is very important to me, and this company did not disappoint; it is exactly as advertized. I'm no expert on Samurai swords, even though I'm proficient in their use. This one certainly seems to be the genuine article, capturing the feel and essence of ancient Japanese tradition. The sword is sturdy and elegantly attractive. From the first time you hold it in your hands there's a sense of, "Wow, this is the real deal". Construction is carefully thought out, effective, well made and beautiful. The edge is acceptable as a product for public sale. Every blade I obtain (many), requires my own personal razor-edge sharpening, just like dad taught me. Sorry I have no pic for this one; my camera was stolen yesterday.

Looks well crafted and display quality. Handling it is surprisingly light weight compared to others I've owned and practiced with. Edge is sharp. Has a very slight bit of play (almost unnoticeable unless you're used to swinging these around of varying quality of craftsmanship). Is balanced well for circular maneuvers. For precision techniques, the lighter weight of it, (if you trained on heavier blades) takes some accommodation in technique. I have yet to test cutting, slightly hesitant because if it is a knock off, that's an easy way to earn a trip to the hospital. The light weight of it is what arouses suspicion in quality steel. It's at the middle point between being spring steel (technique practice only- no cutting) and a heavy combat blade. Eventually I'll get around to performing a hardness test (this puts a minor indent on the edge of the blade for microscopic view of composition and folded layers). Upon those results I'll update review for those interested in cutting application.
