Shinwa Imperial Knight Black Damascus Katana Tan

I did a lot of research before I bought these, as it was my first sword. I felt confident when I pulled the trigger on these and I absolutely love it! I have sliced a few odds and ends and it is holding up perfectly! I would highly recommend these!

Previous review is totally valid, this sword is even more stunning when it has a fresh coat of oil on the blade. The sword stays in the scabbard fairly well, can spin the scabbard an the sword doesn't come out, but its close lol. One of my other swords from BudK sits super tight and I really like that.

I am new to collecting bladed weapons, and I have been on this site building an extensive wish list. It paid off this past birthday when I received this sword as a gift. From the pictures on the site, this sword was aesthetically pleasing, but when I took it out of the box I realized just how beautiful this sword really was. I'm 45 years old and I was acting like a 12 year old boy over this gorgeous weapon. This thing is razor sharp and ready to perform as intended! I have my eye on a couple of other higher end swords offered by BudK.
