Ten Ryu Hand Forged Sword With White Scabbard

I got this sword for my birthday and I love it! The blade is super solid and strong, it looks beautiful and is functional. The extra long handle is great for a firm grip and extra cutting power. It cut clean through the box it came in and feels great in your hands. I could take this blade into battle with complete confidence. I love the high carbon steel blade over the Damascus blades you see and it's half the price of other katanas you see. It's definitely worth the price and I'm recommended this sword and the brand to all my friends. Thanks budk for finding me a great katana for a great price!!!!

First i would like to tell you adout my experience with budk's customer service. I had a small issue with the sword. I called customer service and thay really went above and beyond what i expected!! My issue was resolved post haste. I would like to personally thank the manager, as well as the staff. It's nice to know they really stand behind thier products and treat you with respect! I give them 5 stars (10 stars if i could). This sword is high quality and very well made. The handle is nicely wraped and a few inches longer than my other katanas. Everything is tight and the blade well made and very sharp. It is a 5 star katana and battle ready. I also had my name engraved. The engraving is flawless, beautiful! 5 stars for the engraving. I would highly recommend this sword. Don't let the price full you. Your getting more sword than what you pay for. Thats why i love to shop at budk. Tks for reading. Signed ham'rd skull.

This sword has become one of my favorite series blades, not only for the smooth coloring & high gloss lacquer coat of the scabbard & contrasting wrap that adorns the Tsuka, but also because it came extremely sharp(far more than I've ever seen in most other swords I've had the good fortune to examine up close), and it's hardened & heavy enough to actually use in battle if need be. Like it's long-handled hand-forged cousin, ( item 46 MC3768), this has a more traditional, pre 1878 length Tsuka which make for a deeper, more powerful cut. Also, the Tsuba is thick, beautifully made and durable enough to take a blow that would otherwise do damage to your wrists. I originally expected good but not stupendous in the form of quality, but to my amazed surprise this sword greatly exceeded my expectations, and is something I'll cherish as a personal heirloom for a very, very long time to come.
