This is the first sword I have ever purchased, and am glad I chose this one. I couldn't believe the packaging when I took it out of the carton. Very nice. Showed it to my friends and relatives and they were impressed. This is my favorite purchase from Kennesaw. Thank you.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

As I said with the White Knight katana and probably a few more in the future, "Great sword for the price!" Again my complaints are that the "same" of the "tsuka" feels like plastic. That's the grip under the braid for the non-sword enthusiast. The steel is lower quality although it is folded. I guess what frustrates me about the shinwa swords is that they could produce an excellent sword for another $40 of cost which I would gladly spend $500 for. Overall an excellent sword for the price. Not duel temper, lower quality steel, not quite full tang, not ray skin, or leather on the grip. Great for zombies, bad for invading europe. Probably should take the "made in china" off the blade also.

I just have to say that the hand guard isn't meant to be strong because the samurai did not actually clash there mighty weapons but killed in one fluid motion and if necessary blocked with the side or back of the sword... And Damascus is just a folding tech that gives the blade a beautiful design

I went out in the woods with this monster and I blazed my own trail. I went where there was no path and made one with ease. I owned this for about a month came sharp out of the beautiful red cloth box and a month later is still as sharp as I received it its the heaviest blade I own and is very durable. I stabbed a tree and the tip was in tact when I pulled it out, went in about 3 inches. Plus it looks really nice on your side. I can rely on this blade.

This is a solid sword arrived in nice packaging wrapped in cloth blade needed to be clean and the tsuba feels very brittle. I wouldn't sword fight with it, but it does feel solid enough to maybe try just be careful. Just because Budk has it in the battle ready section doesn't mean you can take it to war.

I snapped this thing in half in half an hour really its just for show and tell. But they replaced it no questions asked. So I'm happy.
