Ten Ryu Hand Forged Samurai Sword With Decorative Gold Tsuba

Just received the sword a day earlier than what the shipping date was posted on the tracker, upon examination everything looked perfect. No loose parts, no scratches or rust on the blade, no chips or smudges from unknown sources, just an overall taken care of sword & sheathe. Not to mention the great price for a piece such as this, I even took the opportunity to engrave it for a measly $5 more. I'd recommend this as a great gift to a friend who's into owning swords or any type or weapon.

I got my ten ryu today i must say it was worth every penny i recommend you buy this beautiful katana thank you budk

I bought this Ten-Ryu for my wife, as a mothers day gift (she's not really the flower type). I also had it engraved with her name. She absolutely loves it!! And the engraving is flawlessly laser etched (5 star). This really is an amazing quality katana, 5 stars all day long. We also own it's cousin (46 MC4574) with my name also flawlessly engraved). Hats off to budk and their staff... And as for Davids review below, all true and well written. So I'll leave the rest for you all to read. You can not get this quality katana anywhere else for this great price (to my knowledge anyhow). I've already recommend to several of my friends. Signed ham'rd skull

Another great Katana from Ten-ryu and I'm very happy that BudK has it listed among the other fine Samurai swords they carry. The longer Tsuka allows for a deeper, more powerful cut & allows more body weight to be applied behind the swing, reminiscent of how traditional Katana used to be made prior to 1868. This sword is definitely battle worthy, durable, has a great weight & balance, is thick enough for Tameshigiri practice, and comes razor sharp. I highly and without question recommend this sword, or it's hand-forged, long-handled cousin (item 46 MC4574) not only due to it's quality, but also it's beauty and inert spirit imbued within.
