Product Description
This stunning handmade Musashi Samurai Sword features a hand-forged 1060 carbon steel blade that was made using age-old clay tempering techniques, resulting in a beautiful, fully functional sword. Authentic details such as the antique-finished tsuba add elegance to this historic piece. The handle offers genuine ray skin with cord wrappings. Includes a hand painted hardwood scabbard.
A very nice, finely finished sword. All the fitting are tight and the handle cord wrapping were precise and tightly bound. The blade was reasonably sharp, but with a few gentle strokes of my sharpener brought the blade to a fine razor sharp edge. Nice Hamon on the blade and once I get home to clean it and oil it I am quite sure it will look even better. A very attractive piece. My only critical comment is that the blade does rattle some, if you shake the Saya, otherwise I am very pleased with this sword. I ordered this sword on a Saturday afternoon and received it on Tuesday, that's two day delivery....thank you True Swords

I have not received this sword yet, but I saw it when I went to a friends house, and I was pretty impressed that you could get a sword of this quality for this kind of price. A very good common man home defense weapon, or display piece I must say. I am excited and can not wait for delevery!

Wow nothing Feels Like Holding a Real Katana in your Hand! Nothing! and this sword is EXTREMELY RAZOR SHARP! Amazing Craftsmanship all around! and the weight is real! definitely wasn't expecting it to be as heavy as it is because i train with Bokken swords but this probably twice as heavy & twice as fun!

Very impressed with the quality for this sword. Everything is tight and well fitted. Ultra sharp. Would be hard pressed to beat at $80. Get the sword cleaning kit, it is a must have. Shipping time from True Swords was right at 30 hrs. Whoa that is fast.

Received this sword about two weeks ago, and trust me, the reviews do not do it justice. I own several swords but this one puts them all to shame. Well constructed, well balanced, sharp as hell, and came well oiled. The hamon is flawless and the details are amazing. Can't say enough about it....For the price, you will not find a better deal than True Swords. Highest rating is a 5...This one deserves a 10. Support team is great, hands down. Thank you all....will be a repeate customer.

I just received this sword today as a gift from Mrs. Ann here and out of the many swords I have either aquired or handled, this one stands out. I am only 17 but have been training with katanas for about ten years. I LOVE this sword. Its one of the sexiest Ive seen and cuts like a lightsaber!!!!<br />Anyone who is reading the reviews and researching so they can find the perfect sword like I was, this one is high quality, full tang, sharp as hell, and beautiful. Can be used to fight, display, or just play with( as in professionally)!!!!!

This is my first sword...I couldn't be happier with all aspects of my purchase. The product is great, the price was great and True Swords will be where I buy my next sword.

Price to quality is phenomenal. Unfortunately I have to make a koshirae-nuki in order to remove the blade from the tsuka. Hamon is not very defined.<br /><br />Customer service was AMAZING, answered questions super quick. Will be a repeat customer come this payday!!!

Well, you get what you pay for... and apparently I paid for an awesome sword! Which is weird considering how little I did paid for it. The tsuba and fuchigane look very nice, just like in the picture. Not shown in the picture, the kashira also looks really good, with a swirling cloud or water design on it. You can see a picture of what it looks like here: [ URL changed http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/ts-ftmusk83_detail.jpg ]<br />The blade is very sharp and it seems durable. The first thing I did was cut some paper, which worked fine. I then cut some large soda bottles out in the rain, and while wiping rain off my blade, I slipped and sliced my finger pretty bad.<br />Anyway, great sword for a great price.

I am so happy with this sword. It was more than what i expected and its at a good price. I'm very satifised with the service. They answer calls even on weekends, and they try to help you with your purchased as best as they can.

This is my first katana that i have ever purchased it took a week but i finally got the sword and its in excellent quality very sturdy, great detail, and really sharp. I will definitely come back to true swords to add to my new collection.

Excellent workmanship, razor sharp blade out of the box!<br />Also excellent service from this seller, I would recommend for anyone looking for affordable functional swords to shop here.

This is an excellent sword: a little lighter than I figured it would be, but full-bodied, well-balanced, and very comfortable to hold and to wield. I will agree that the draw is quite tight (I needed both hands) but I hardly consider this a flaw of the weapon. I am no collector, but I will say that the look and the feel of this weapon is nothing short of beautiful. <br /><br />Cheers to you, Musashi. I am impressed.

Oh.. my.. god... Ordered this thing YESTERDAY, and got here at 10:20am the NEXT DAY! Shipping is UNBELEIVABLE.. for $13 bucks of course.. but still. Ill excuse it lol. SWORD IS AMAZING! Ive never had such a beautiful blade out of the eight swords I own this is hands down the best one. The craftsmanship alone took my breath away with the detail and how solid this piece is! The sheathe alone felt extremely thick and solid unlike those other sword sheathes, the blade has a perfect curve to it, not even a scratch on it. The hand guard is nothing short of breath-taking with such minor but accurate detail. Kinda seems to stick in the sheathe really tight, dunno if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but Ill leave it as a neutral thought for now. BEST SWORD EVA! BUY BUY BUY!

This sword is a outstanding blade for the price, the durability, the sharpness, the looks and the quality are all really nice on this katana if you want a dope sword for under 100$ this is it.

I bought this beautiful sword and two days later it was at my door. Its a wonderful sword with tight fittings and a beautiful hamon. Only thing I thought could have been better was the sharpness but overall a great buy for the price! Ill buy another.
