Product Description
Heat-forged from the sword masters at Shinwa comes this masterpiece of a sword, the Black Dragon Shirasaya. Its scabbard and handle are constructed of lacquered bone with an exquisite dragon inlay made of real natural pearl. The 27" heat-forged Damascus steel blade was hand folded to create more than 2, 000 layers.
Beautiful display piece with what seems to be excellent construction.

I received this sword through the grab and go. And although, of course, it was a little beat up it was still beautiful. The sword is balanced perfectly and you can tell real care went into it's crafting. Truly an amazing weapon.

Beautiful Piece
This sword is a beautiful piece of art. Extremely well balanced and very sharp right out of box. For my first big sword purchase over a year ago now, by far is my favorite and most beautiful piece to add to my collection. I look forward to buying another Damascus sword in the near future!

I was not sure how much I'd like this, but I must admit I'm impressed. This sword is elegant as it is deadly, with a blade that I cut myself on almost immediately. The Scabbard, with it's dragon design, is lovely. The Damascus steel is sharper than I can honestly do justice with words. Also, just a side not, but it comes with a nice box too. Overall, great sword, both as a piece of art, and a weapon.

pearl nadachi sword
I recently purchased the Shinwa pearl Nadachi sword. The Damascus steel layering is superb.The sword has a very nice feel to it.The mother of pearl on the saya or scabbard is beautifully done. Another hats off to Shinwa and budk.

This sword is beautiful overall. The pearl dragon makes it look absolutely stunning. The box and bag it comes in are simply stunning and I was fairly pleased with the purchase. However I would like to point out that although it looks great and it isn't a super cheap sword, the sharpness is simply non-existent. This sword is not one that you would use to cut anything. For the price I paid I'm not really sure what I was expecting, however I was disappointed that it could barely pierce cardboard or even make a cut in it.
