"I love Bud K and have been very satisfied with my purchases in the past. I was under the wrong impression that all Shinwa swords are double pegged full tang. This one is NOT. The Blade is nice though."

Nice sword!!
"I have several swords, all fine, and serviceable,but this one is very nice, well worth even more than the price. A fine choice of a serviceable sword."
sword is perfect
"sweet sword"
Nice for the price
"The double edge and damascus patterns on this one are beautiful. I don't see how the chinese do it so nicely and inexpensive. Although not truly a full tang, the sword is farley well balanced, quiet strong and feels good in the hand. The display box I got with mine was made for a traditionally curved katana, so the straight dragon lord doesn't fit properly in the display box. I modified my display boxes styrofoam mold to accommodate the straight dragon lord and it fits better and is more secure now. I also noticed the kashira or butt cap on my dragon lord is upside down in relation to the picture on the tsuba and rest of the themed pictured story on the sword. This most likely was a mistake in manufacturing but, doesn't bother me. I love this one for the price and what you get."
Great
"The sword is great. First time owning a double edge. So I’m very happy with it. I’ve bought a lot of swords from you guys, absolutely love ur company!!!"
Great sword. i love it.
"Great sword. i love it. Well worth the price. it comes with a beautiful display box and a cloth bag as well. i bought a wall rack for my swords, but that wouldn't do justice to this sword. i am going to put it on a shelf to display the display box with the sword resting in it. Great quality and nice edges. Well worth the price. no complaints from me. highly recommend it to anyone that wants a fully functional sword for a great price."
pretty good
"well im her husband lol js.. I got this beautiful peace of art, when I did my tests it mostly was successful. I got cleanly through milk jugs, bottles, ex. But unfortunately the Damascus well, it is just a coating over the blade. I struck a peace of wood to see if there was any sort of warping, and it held strong, but the blade did have a bit of scratches over the surface that showed me it wasn't true Damascus. disappointment of course but I am very happy with the easy buy. if you're looking for a battle ready sward make sure its 1060 carbon, or true Damascus. thank you"
