Miyamoto Hand Forged Katana Sword - Samurai Sword - 1060 High Carbon Steel Full Tang Blade - Self Defense Weapons - for Collections, Gifts, or Straw Mat Cutting Practice

The sword is beautiful and very sturdy, no loose parts. It has a real hamon. The blade was very sharp but not razor sharp so I will be sharpening it, but it still cut through the box it came in like it was paper. The top of the blade has a triangular shape which fits into the matching triangular shape cut into the inside of the saya which was a nice detail I wasn't expecting. The Tsuka and all parts we very tight and sturdy. It has real ray skin. The craftsmanship I literally cannot believe for $125. Like others have said in Muashi reviews it feels like a $500 sword and I will buy more from this company.

Very decent sword for the money. It’s definitely an entry level sword. Not super sharp but definitely not dull. Handle is solid. Wrapped well and hamon is attractive. Can’t complain for the price.

Sword is a very nice piece, but I did not receive what I ordered / what was advertised. I received a “Bamboo” style Tsuba instead of the Miyamoto Musashi style Tsuba as pictured. Slightly disappointed

I just received this and upon first inspection.........five stars ! This is a nice sharp decent blade. I've paid a bit more for a lot less. I will be purchasing more from them as I haven't seen or held anything better under $300. Come get some zombies !

I have just received my sword both are beautiful, very sharp,don't care about "razor" sharp, everything on the swords are perfect from the Saya fits very tight , sageo soft cotton shoelace kind off but nice, Tsuba very small I love it and Tsuka ito nice and tight, Same real ray skin. and I must say that dealing with Musashi /1sword, has been a pleasure, before ordering I called Musashi directly to verified the item specs. spoke with Peter (salesman) it was a very pleasant conversation, he eased my mind so much so that I ended up buy 2 swords from them. great customer service. Thank you.UPDATE: 7/23/2020. Once again Musashi/1sword customer service just blew my mind" there was a little snag with USPS both of my sword were scanned but forgotten about it for 5 days I called Musashi spoke with Lisa she immediately went into action contacting the local post office... long story short I got my swords 1 day ahead schedule. sadly there are only 5 stars.

One of my favorites

Comes with a decent edge. Not razor sharp. I'm thinking that it is possibly more designed for combat with armored opponents than being razor sharp for cutting tatami mats perhaps? Extremely sharp katana in a certain price range tend to get damaged more easily in my experience. It displays well. I imagine that depending on the Chinese smith that made each blade there might be some variation in workmanship (since I suspect that these katana are made in a number of different production facilities.) Mine is great aside from some minor issues with the ray skin that I was able to fix quite easily and a slight bending that I was able to correct. The menuki are on the cheap side (no surprise there given the price). I will be replacing mine. The habaki wasn't as finished as I would like. It was rough and lined as if it was shaped by grinder. This resulted in the saya becoming a bit loose. But as others have stated for this price it's more than decent! Note: In the photos attached to this review I over-oiled the blade to compensate for dust while displaying it. It looks as if there are imperfections but it's just the excess oil.

This sword is amazing! I’m really happy with this purchase.I looked forever for my 1st sword and I couldn’t be happier!
