Great sword for the price beautiful in every way not real sharp but sharp enough recommend this to anybody who wants to get a sword but not pay the high price
Full tang Authentic everything including beautiful hamon! I would recommend this blade to anyone looking for a cheap but well made and truly battle ready. I have put this blade through hell and back and it still looks amazing. However I have polished and sharpened along the way I have had this blade for about a year now and it is my favorite. This blade could match just about anything you see a warrior class cold steel katana do. the only thing better than this blade is one that has been deferentially hardened for authenticity but as durability is concerned for most people mono steel is fine, when made of high carbon steel.
I bought this as a gift for my brother, having a few other damascas and 1060 carbon swords of my own that i maintain regularly. Im a little jealous, this sword is beautiful, balanced and strong, durable and sharp.
Great sword, expecially for the price. The blade looks great and feels very high quality. It came sharp, but not razer sharp. You can still cut paper with it if you wanted.
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.
This is perfect. Its made with nice strong damascus steel. They didn't over do it on the oil they put on the blade its not to heavy, and its well balanced. Its a high quality sword for an affordable price.
Honestly I love it I just got it today, it's a beautiful sword nice and sturdy but there's a few minor problems (which is why I only give 4 stars) 1.) one of the clips for the belt is broken 2.) the blade is slanted to the right a bit. Other than those minor problems i love this sword a lot.
This is a pretty nice sword however for the money there are better swords. When i received mine i saw on the blade that it appeared to have 2 hamons... yeah one was much more prominent than the other and its hardly noticeable and blade also looks scratchy. the tsuka was very nice and all the fittings were nice. All in all this is a good buy, you will be satisfied
I was worried about a 29 inch blade affecting the balance, but I don't even notice. Well made, put it through a few tests and nothing came loose. Cuts like a champ.
This shirasaya sword is a beauty, is very strong. can cut thru bamboo and I'm in love with this sword. I recommend this katana sword who collect o battle to buy it you will love it.
