Musha Bushido Zetsurin Samurai Sword Black

This thing is so amazing. I bought it for my friend's birthday and he loves it. The blade is great, came sharp and oiled. The thrower is pretty cool but the tip bends a little too easy. Overall this sword is great and I recommend this to whoever wants to buy it.

This sword is in a word, incredible<br />tight fit into the saya, incredibly defined hamon. the sword is also EXTREMELY sharp, cutting the box it came into with a single stroke. the thrower leaves a lot to be desired in the practical area . . . . but it looks nice . . . that counts for something. <br /><br />While the thrower is crap, the sword is still incredible, and completely worth the price.

This is my third purchase, and it will NOT be my last. I ordered this sword on the 29th, and got it on the 31st. Again, very fast shipping. Excellent balance, nice weight, perfect condition, nice and sharp, no nicks or anything. A nice cotton bag and beautiful box. The saya is in perfect condition, nice shiny black. The thrower stays firm in place and is pretty pointy and really sticks with not a lot of force. (Depending on what you throw it at) Since there is no guard you have to be careful about it slipping out of your hand. I highly recommend this sword for beginners, novices and any sword collector. It's so frickin' awesome. :D

this is my first by and i must say it looks bad ass

Can't wait to get it! It will be an awesome sword to my collection! I know the thrower is cheesy, but I will sharpen it. This sword has all my favorite colors.

this a good item.good condition,perfect material itself,19/25 characteristics..no regret..this website ships the item realy fast..

I have wanted this sword for a long time, and it is not a disapointment. This is a must have, the blade has some small flaws but for the price it is perfect. Plus I think the thrower is pretty wicked.

very excited for this purchase from the other reviews i give it a 5 totally siked about getting it! hope the thrower is good!

This sword is awesome. I highly recommend it to any one who wants a bad ass killing device for an extremely good price. Its pretty sharp and was manufactured very well.

this is probably one of my best swords by far as alway shipping time was excellent I got it in three days, it is a very unique sword I love the no tsuba design the thrower or kozuka as said in other reviews it is a good letter opener and thats it. The blade is very sharp, but unfortuneatly is not razor sharp. the japanese symbols on the fuchi and kashira are realy cool.

The Zetsurin is an awesome sword for the price. I own a Shirasaya and without a doubt this sword is better mainly due to the grip that you actually have on the handle. You can't really review this sword on not having a guard because it's made not to have one and it's not like the description says it has one. With that said having a wrapped handle on this one is a benefit when it comes to say...doing katas and such. You really don't want a sword to go flying out of your hands while you are swinging it around.<br /><br />As for the thrower...well as one review said mainly just good for a letter opener. It mostly just gets in the way and I leave it out of the sheath.<br /><br />It came with a thick coat of oil on it which is good for storage but a little too much for me so I cleaned it off and oiled it up again to my specifications. Sword came really sharp so it doesn't need that much more of a sharpening unless you really want to.

I just got this sword yesterday. And i have to say, it is the coolest thing i own. The blade is sharp and i accidentally cut myself on it. It's hilt feels very solid to me, unlike many swords i've felt in the past; and it doesnt feel like it's going to break every time you hit something. This sword is not only pretty, but it's deadly, i would not want to be on the wrong end of it. 5/5 stars from me!

from the reviews this sword sounds awesome, I can't wait for mine to arrive. the thing that really grabbed my attention is the way it looks, its very pleasing to the eye. Another thing is it reminds me of a zanpakuto from anime which I'm a huge fan of. Also its made by musashi which you just can't go wrong with that. as I've said can't wait for this to arrive, and I hope it meets my expectations.

i just ordered this sword and i cant wait for it to arrive . at first i was debating with myself , should i get renji abarai's unawakened zanpakuto or the zetsurin sword by musashi . to me , they're both very unique swords because , for one , i'm a huge anime fan and renji abarai is one of my favorite characters and second , the zetsurin sword looks like one of the swords i''ve seen on a certain anime . for now i'll give this sword a perfect 5 for being a very unique sword and the fact that its by musashi .

this sword is awsome! 10/5 stars! it's razor sharp and awsome. i accidently got a small cut on my middle finger when drawing the sword! the thrower is also pretty cool. it looks like a kitchen knife, probably could be one too, excellent purchase, and my first Musashi blade. i recomend this to anyone who loves swords!

this sword rocks my mom who hates that i collect swords absolutely loves this one. the delivery time is great! razor sharp i have absolutely no complaint about this sword and recommend it to everyone. oh ya did i say this sword rocks.

I just bought this sword a few minutes ago and it hasn't arrived yet. This is the coolest thing that has ever hapenned to me. When I came to the website I already had in mind what i would want to buy. when I noticed this sword. I had been on the website a few minutes earlier and it had not been there. I decided to look at the details and found that it wass better than the wind dragon. Then when I looked closer I saw that there was a design on the end of the hilt (A.K.A handle) that was the same as a design I had seen on an anime show. But this is no anime sword. I put the pieces together and being the hopelessly superstitious person that I am I decided that God (or japanese anime) was trying to tell me something. So went and bought it. When the sword arrives and I test it I will write another review telling wether a the sword is great, average, or a divine force ( God or the anime) ripped me off. For now I will give it 5 stars for looks, and next time will be an overall score.

4 out of 5 for just a few minor reasons. The saya/sheath isn't made of the sturdiest material and the painted on black finish can chip away. The slot for the hidden thrower doesn't hold the thrower very securely and the painted metal around the hilt of the handle is pretty poorly done.<br />I received the $59.99 redwood shirasaya in a surprise bag and it seem to me to be much better craftsmanship for the extra $5. The best part of this sword, the only good part at least, is the steel of the blade and how strong it feels in your hand. It isn't super heavy either which is definitely a plus.<br />If you want a sword to play with that wont fall apart on you then I recommend this product but if you want a piece of art to impress people with you're probably going to need to spend a lot more.

awesome sword the only thing about it that could be better is if it would fit tightly in its case it slides out to easily and the throwing knife falls out to sometimes if your not care full on how your holding it but besides that great sword came sharp and ready to go this was my second buy from here and again i was not disappointed!

this sword is really sharp but it's not polished like in picture or in video i saw

this sword is very great, sharp edge, nice hamon, and all the crap like that. A few problems though, well as the ray skin is fake, it doesn't even go around the whole handle, (yes i inspected) also the thrower is crap, the actual thing is good except that the "sheath" for it is fashoned for the thrower to be upsidedown, the thrower barely stays in too, i recived it and was taking it out of the sword bag when it droped from the scabbard and stabbed by hand. the sword is also loose in the scabbard but all in all its good. I do have a weak spot for any nice blade, therefore i give it a four.

a great choice for any buyer. the thrower sucks but is individual. blade is lovable and amazing. here are the four factors.<br />1. Sharp-yes<br />2. Quality Metal- yes<br />3. Durable/long lasting- yes<br />4. Creativity- yes (thrower and handle design)

well boys this is my first sword. i looked on the net for days looking for an afforadable sharp sword. this one has impressed me so far. right out of the box i threw the box in the air and sliced it in half very cool. the thrower sucks but makes a great letter opener. i showed it off at my dojo, the master was impressed. we'll see how it holds up against some real cutting <br /> for now 4 stars<br />if it makes a good light cutter then a for sure 5 stars very pleased

Not a bad sword, though not as great as the reviews would say.<br /><br />Pro's:<br />-The delivery time was excellent, I received mine within the week I purchased it.<br />-It does come very sharp, and so far hasn't deteriorated with multiple cutting practices.<br />-The wrapping on the handle came fairly tight.<br />-The bamboo pegs securing the blade to the handle are bamboo, which tends to last longer. The pegs do wiggle a little bit, but it's not a real issue.<br />-It looks pretty out of the box, and the craftsmanship is decent.<br /><br />Con's:<br />-The wrap on the handle is almost identical to shoe string, but you can't expect too much for how much the sword costs.<br />-This is probably apparent in the picture, but never the less, there is no tsuba (handguard). While I don't expect anyone will be fending off blows, the lack of tsuba means that there isn't anything keeping your fingers from the blade as well as anyone else's. Keep a tight grip.<br />-The saya is actually a thin wood veneer covered by about three millimeters of plastic. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to be aware of.<br />-The sword is held in the saya with a friction lock. Depending on the what you use the sword for, and how often, this might not be a problem, just keep in mind that the friction lock will eventual fail with repeated use.<br />-The thrower is, as Pat P. noted, a good letter opener and nothing more.<br />-The actual blade had a few scuff marks on it, and the hamon (hardening mark caused by tempering, usually faked in cheaper swords) is not very attractive and appears to be grinded, although it well may not be.<br /><br />Overall, it's an cheap, medium quality replacement for the real thing. If you aren't willing to spend the money on a higher quality sword, this is right up your alley.
