CTU.24 :: The Clock is Still Ticking ::

After doing a lot of research on the types of steel and the way it is made, I settled on the mid range steel in this sword which is not as brittle at the higher rated steel but also maintains its edge better than the lower rated steel. This is a nice trade-off for optimal flexibility and sharpness. The sword itself came with a certificate of authenticity, which was a great touch since this made a beautiful gift for my friend.

Excellent sword for the price, I use it for Iaido practice and is great.

Well finished. Durable. I own more expensive swords and this one holds it's own. If you're after an entry level or want to have fun without risking an expensive sword than this is perfect for the backyard or the dojo.

Wonderful Sword!!! Very High Quality!!! Love It!!!!!

Cold Steel does it again. Everything I have bought from Cold Steel has exceeded my expectations and more. You can never go wrong with cold steel.

This is a real Katana made with real Katana materials, features and techniques. The quality is good enough for use as a practical, usable Katana for any and all purposes. I highly recommend buying this Katana for this reason. If you want something to worship and just look at, then buy one for a few thousand more and just stare at it. Otherwise, buy this one and you'll have no worries...

Very worth the money!! Only let down was the wrapping isn't awesome, but it's great!!

I like the feel of it, it goes well with my other two bokkens from cold steel. It barely fits one of my hands, but it works and is really fun when using the bokken at the same time.

Beautiful Blade!i like it!!!

Purchased as a gift. The recipient was very pleased!

After reading the reviews and answers from other people, I placed an order to this katana nd I have to say, it is a really well made katana.

this is a great looking sword and based on the sword alone it was good. Mine got damaged in shipping because the box it was shipped in was too small, so the hilt end is "rubbed" and the blade is very difficult to get out of the scabbard. I hope that they can fix this for me. If they can, then i'd change this to a 5 star. :)

I just wanted the wakizashi for a photography piece I was working on. I didn't know that this came as two swords that fit together. I was pleasantly surprised! The edge was a little sharper than another prop sword I had, so be aware of that if you have kids. I will say it's not as shiny as it looks in the picture, but maybe that's because I didn't polish it or something.

It?s really a great and helpful piece of information. I?m happy that you simply shared this helpful info with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thank you for sharing.

very impresed this is my first sword and i cant wait to buy another

This sword is really cool! It is a really strong sort of plastic material. It is strong, and doesn't seem like it will break for a long time. It also came in like 3 days...with standard shipping! Would definitely buy again.

This sword came just as shown, and is in top quality. There is but one minor complaint, but it doesn't affect the product in any way: There is a slight flaw where the cord wraps around the saya, and a small scratch going up an inch along the saya, from that point. Again, it's nothing to worry about. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase, and I will buy from the seller again, if I see another sword I like.

Great sword for the price! Solid and sharp!

Great sword, but not the sharpest, need to buy a whetstone with it

beautiful and extremely well made sword. Bought two of them one for myselff and a collector
