Shinwa Dark Knight Damascus Steel Katana

Wow. Most likely Shinwa's best.

I have many swords, most of them katanas. This Shinwa katana is by far the best quality sword I have purchased from the company. Very well put together with a beautiful Hamon line. You can tell it's not a fake Hamon via acid etch because it's only visible in the right light. Just like it should be to reveal a true clay tempered Hamon. The fit and finish is amazing and feels fantastic in the hand. I've done martial arts from child hood holding several black belts and even an international ranked 2nd Dan black belt with the Kukkiwon world Taekwondo federation. I don't mean to brag just want you to know I've held many weapons over the years and this one is by far the best katana for under $500.00.

I bought this sword a few weeks ago and it is absolutely fabulous. Taking price and quality and performance into consideration it's an amazing deal and is worth the purchase for anyone who plans to use or display it.

The Katana is absolutely beautiful. Everything fit nice and tight and the Damascus waves make it stunning. The only down side was the scabbard doesn't fit very tight so the sword comes out super easy and sometimes gets hung up. Plus the display box that came with it had a crack and the cleaning kits oil had leaked out obviously and soaked the uchiko powder so it was worthless. Would have been nice to have that stuff in good shape but for the overall price I can over look that I guess.
