Shinwa Hand Forged Imperial Samurai Sword With Scabbard

I have many swords in my collection and didn’t hesitate when adding this as my second Shinwa. The blade is both supple and durable with a nice sharp edge right out of the box. The handle and guard are tight with no wiggles and zero play. The shiny scabbard fits snugly and does not rattle one bit. Finding something of this quality for a lower price would be difficult to say the least.

To my understanding, the straight blade and square guard is more in tune to be a Ninja sword than a curved Samurai's sword. Other than that, it's a solid well made sword for the money. I'm sure it will get the job done without a problem.

This was my first sword, and I must say it will be hard to find a better sword for the same price. This sword is absolutely beautiful! Ray skin, carbon steel blade, nice handle, the guard is stunningly beautiful. I love the square guard it's not too big not too small, just perfect. And the length is perfect for someone my size(5'6,150Ibs) this is the best sword on the market for the price.

I've been very happy with the products I have ordered from BudK. The less expensive sords were a great deal, but this one was worlds ahead of the others, well worth the extra money.

Very good sword cuts well comes sharp looks amazing light weight overall 4.95/5.00

Great buy ever thing came looking good no lose parts sword fit well in the holder was not super sharp but sharp enough

This was my first sword and I am well pleased with it, it has good strength, and very sharp out of the box, however to me it seemed a little inbalanced in my hands and there was a lot of wax in the scabbard that seems to keep finding it's way to my blade. All in all 4/5
