This sword is beautiful in the very traditional sense of the samurai. The samurai found beauty in all things in nature. Carved into the scabbard of this sword is the kanji for "Honor " the summation of all that a samurai is. The blade of the sword is HQSS stainless steel, already sharpened, with the hamon along the edge of the blade.
Good for the PriceReviewed by Alexander J. Kim, 2010-01-24
I think this sword is well worth the 15 dollars for it. I have many high end swords as well, but for the 15 dollar price range this is great. Its a stainless steel blade (which in most cases is much narrower than the handle making it look rather ugly) but is a good width. If you want to hang it on the wall, it'll look great but i actually use it to trim the garden. its nice to have a sword i can practice with and not worry about if it gets damaaged. if you find that it gets loose, remove the cam on the bottom of the handle and tighten the bolt.
Good sword for practiceReviewed by M. Stark, 2009-12-24
This is a good sword for practice and katas. It is a true work of art with its designs and whatnot. For practice and workouts it works well. It is slightly blade heavy in my opinion though. If I am correct, this is a MOVIE PROP sword so don't be surprised that it has a false edge. The wax or grease everyone is talking about is a protective coating of grease that is applied to protect the sword from oxidation, or rusting, while in storage prior to sale. Almost all bladed weapons or tools are stored in this way at some point. If it bothers you, you can just wipe it clean with a cloth. No big deal. Dont forget to clean it and regrease it with the proper kit to prevent it from rusting. As a decoration it is a work of art. The stand is real light though so dont be surprised if it falls over alot if you live near railroad tracks. But this sword is solid so it shouldnt hurt it. This sword is definately worth the price. Buy it.

Decoration Only!Reviewed by Michael Hambrick, 2009-12-06
I imagine it should be obvious to most people but this sword is not meant to actually be used. It is for decoration purposes only. It may look nice and that is fine for most people but the fact is that there is very little about this sword that is authentic. More than likely it is machine made and sharpened. If you are looking for the real thing and not just an imitation I suggest looking at a different sword, maybe something from Paul Chen (Hanwei).
Samurai SwordReviewed by Peggy B. Olney, 2009-07-07
The sword is perfect and just what I wanted. However, the stand that came with it is very cheap and does not hold the sword. It keeps falling over,so I am not very happy with that.Otherwise, the service was good and I like the sword itself.
