Now I may be mistaken, but this looks just like the Musashi Bamboo Warrior katana. Which in that case isn't a pretty awesome bugmdget katana with real carbon steel and hamon. But it's also like only a $100 sword. Soo... Look for the authentic Musashi stamp or Smith signature on the tang.
Very pleased with this high quality product. It is a nice weapon and can be sharpened to the point you can shave with it! For the money, it is difficult to find a better blade. Enjoy!!
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.
Can't beat the price for a functional katana. Has been used in demonstrations and makes the perfect fruit ninja devise for summer picnic watermelon serving, as well as melon, cantaloupe, turkey, chicken, apple pitching, pumpkin devastation and heck, home security!
If you ever want to buy a starter sword for a decent price this would absolutely be the best choice. The packaging was great with no damage in site and it came much faster then anticipated. The sword itself is finely made and was pretty sharp on arrival. I am not experienced with swords but I am very happy with my purchase.
Believe me...it's an outstanding sword... Worthy in every way. I've tried several other products (all more expensive), but this one is exceptional. In some months I will look for the Emperor sword. I'm just afraid of paying more forthe same or less quality.
Awesome quality sword everything is tight and good quality especially the scabbard I was super impressed with this product for the money thank u so much Amazon I love this item!
Very well balanced. Good weight, good feel to it. It's durability will be tested I assure you but so far it's been a great practice weapon. Came sharp enough out of the box to cut through bamboo as said but definitely could be sharpened to a razor edge if you need it to be.
