I was excited when my sword finally arrived in the mail. Only difference with my sword than what I was expecting is that the blade isn't white like what is shown, and what I've read in the reviews. Maybe they changed it later on when it was once white. It's still a very pretty sword that is mostly an exact replica. Maybe I can find a way to turn the blade white later on. But I'm gonna be displaying it in the wall with the 8 sword wall mount with my other swords

Amazing sword, especially as a collection piece. My only issue is that even though its almost a perfect replica from afar, I am not a huge fan of how plasticy it feels and looks up close. I think with a little more care it could look and feel even better, compared to the other 8 or so swords I own from bleach, this one feels the most like a kids toy, even though its beautiful and fun to hold and show to friends and fans o the show. A great sword 9/10 but if your extremely picky, you may not love this one as much as you would other swords from this site. Still a must buy for bleach fans. (Note: the Ribbon is extremely long. Longer than the sword by like 5 inches, so if you wouldnt like that, might wanna buy a different ribbon)

Great sword. I bout it for my girlfriend and she loved it. It came in great condition, only a little dirt from the box (nothing that couldn't be cleaned off with tissue) and the streamer/ smiley face being a little loose but other than that, it is a great buy.

It's okay overall. Looks great if you don't notice the fine descriptions in the katana itself. The handle is not perfectly aligned and the bell could easily snap off. Also I was kind of expecting the sword to be slightly sharpened but seeing it was hand crafted in China, would rather do the job myself as to someone else doing it for just 5 cents.

Well, The Ribbon Is VERY Long, And I Stepped On It While Playing With It And Pulled It Right Out So Its Not Very Secure, But Other Than That, Its A LOVELY Sword, Gorgeous And The Quality You Would Expect From A $28.00 Sword.

Beautiful sword to add to my collection. Don't think it'll hold up in a real battle, but awesome to practice with and to look at.

I got it for my girl, and all in all, she likes it. But, we are both kinda sad that the blade is white, like the anime. Also, the holes in the guard were kinda over looked. One of the holes still has the material in it. As in, we have to carve out the metal ourselves. But, I guess all in all, it's pretty cool.

i just got mine today and the picture does not do it justice this sword is beautiful and well worth the price even my girlfriend likes way to go budk

truely a magnificeint sword to have in your collection easy to wield, balanced nd overall stunning. thank you trueswords.com for providing such a great product nd i plan on buying more from this site

This is really a great sword! It is beautiful and easy to maneuver and the ribbon doesn't get in the way like I thought it would. I feel like I can really use the power of Sode no Shirayuki!
