Beautiful katana for the price.
"Beautiful katana for the price. Everything was very solid feeling. Nothing loose. Everything was in mint condition except the Saya had 2 small scratches on it which both were on the same side so no big deal for display purposes. Other than that very, very pleased with this low budget katana."
Dear Sirs, I would like
"Dear Sirs, I would like to review the 1060 carbon steel Musashi line of Katana. As far as value goes,these katana are a great deal for the money.With a real ray skin same and a true temper line these katana are a great budget entry for someone who wants to buy a katana and not break the bank. These swords have bohi or blood groove and are a bit light for heavy cutting but for Iai Jutsu or Pool noodles and water bottles these swords are great. The saya could be tougher as there is no protection for the bottom of the saya.I dip mine in a liquid rubber used to coat tool handles that can be found in most hardware stores. Remove the handle and you will find the mei done with an engraver.The blade is numbered as is the handle and come with a certificate. The handle is double pinned with bamboo mekugi. Enjoy this blade,I enjoy mine."
My starter sword, however having
"My starter sword, however having handled many battle ready and very expensive swords in the past I could not be happier with this Bamboo Warrior. I've watched videos on it and they've all been positive and so is my review. It feels very quality, it doesn't feel like an $80 sword, it feels like a $300 sword. Balanced and sturdy. Love it, you can really feel the quality when you're holding it."
It's Musashi....what else can I
"It's Musashi....what else can I say? If anyone reading this owns any 1060 musashi katanta you know this is amazing! But for those who don't, with a flick of my wrist, this will cut inch thick rope clean! and with both hands, any tameshigiri mat is toast! Plus it's beautiful in every way a sword can be! It's a functional work of art for under $100...buy it!"
the extra twenty bucks really
"the extra twenty bucks really does go quite far, as the scabbard is laqured, the cotton wrapping is suprisingly tight (thats important to me), and the only thing thats seems machined about the blade is curve at the very tip of the blade. the tsuba and hilt cap are exquisite! domo arigato gozaimasu!!!"
This is a pretty good
"This is a pretty good sword for the the money you are spending. there are acouple of things that i would like to point out in this review. For starters, to the ones that are watching this is the truth. The sword is of pretty high quality for a sword priced at 80 bucks, i wouldnt mind paying 150 for this. The blade has one of the most natrual hamons i have seen on a sword this price. The ha-saki is sharp straigt out of the box, all that needs to done is wipping it down and polishing it. Mine was a little dirty. The ito was pretty tightand the kashira was settled nicely. Now on to why this sword is not a five star. The tsuba is small, it doesnt cover my hand like over swords do. The sword it self is quite light and i found out that the blade is about 2mm thinner that a traditional sword. This worries me becuase the blade seems a little fragile and not able to withstand a lot of force. It can cut through light targets but nowhere near battle ready.On than that the sword is great for backyard cutting and maybe the zombie invasion."
Absolutely incredible! I haven't seen
"Absolutely incredible! I haven't seen such workman ship since I was a kid living in Osaka. Beautiful! This will be a treasure I pass down to my children."
BEST.DEAL.EVER you get a high
"BEST.DEAL.EVER you get a high end sword fer 80$.....nuff said"
I can not find words
"I can not find words to describe this sword, I have been dying to get a Musashi sword and I am not disappointed. There really is nothing to say, if you are looking into this sword, expect highly of it, and it will still impress you, sharp, reinforced steel, perfect curvature, and stunning looks overall. If you are going to buy this sword, buy the Musashi cleaning kit aswell, because a sword like this deserves to be well kept. 5/5, Just Perfect."
