Product Description
You will feel like an ancient emperor when you wield this mighty Midnight Emperor katana! The black-coated, carbon steel blade will slice through the night as you maneuver this massive katana. At 43 3/8" overall, it has a lot of presence. Details include a custom guard with midnight emperor silhouette, and a nylon cord-wrapped handle with a gold tone emblem accent medallion.
i read all the reviews before i bought this. I love the fact that it is a solid piece of steel. The gold emblem were stuck on rather well and it took quite a bit of work for me to get them off. The emblems were not placed directly across from each other. The quality of the blade is not bad and if you take those weird gold emblems off it is beautiful. t came duller than the back of a butter knife and has taken me about 10 hours to get it to the point in which it cuts. The guard is solidly attached which is more than i can say for some of other budk katanas but it is a good sword. I have not tried using it in any real combat but the weight is nice and it is a good one to get for practice.

Midnight Emperor Carbon Steel Katana
This sword is a solid piece of carbon steel! I bought this to use around the store property for some fun landscaping, I have a pair of the more expensive Damascus Dark Dragon Katana and Black Shinwa Odachi which I cherish and keep safe. Handle on this is wrapped very tight, Gold emblem on handled is well secured. My only problem is that it came very dull, I mean I ran my hand up and down the blade and couldn't cut myself if I wanted to. BudK didn't say it was Sharp so that's why I didn't take away a star. Worked a little Blade magic and now it cuts like a scalpel! You need to buy this, for the Price and Quality you can't go wrong. Keep your show pieces Sharp and Safe, and have some fun and Beat this up instead! Thanks BudK!! Joe

Midnight Emperor Carbon Steel Katana
Indestructable sword! A solid bar of lethal iron, this sword is no toy, or replica trash, but rather a tool for combat! While it doesn't come razor sharp from th factory, it has enough of an edge to render it highly effective, and once you put your own edge to the weapon, it holds it well. I am neither dissapointed nor sorry I invested in this sword...it has the potential to become my favorite! Try one for yourself, the price certainly can't be beat, and I guarantee you won't find a sturdier buy out there. Thanks BudK!

the sword is looks good but my sword is crooked a bit.it also came dull which is kinda lame. It is also very hard to actually get the sword out of the scabbard.

A little disappointed
I bought this sword a few months ago and was a little disappointed. It looks nice and felt good at first (The small gold decorations are actually metal) It says carbon steel and I was like no way, for that price! But I can see now. The sword is very very delicate, like don't use it, DISPLAY ONLY. I made the mistake of trying to cut a weed and barely tapped the ground, I looked and the blade was bent quite a bit, I did eventually get it kinda straight again, but still if you buy this sword, hang it on your wall or cut some fruit or bottles and that's it. BudK? You should really say how much carbon is in the swords. Over all a good wall hanger but other than that its junk.
