I just got this sword today. This is an amazing ,very sharp sword,it is definately worth what it costs. Win for Budk.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday its a beautiful sword!!! I absolutely recommend buying from budk plus the customer service is really good that's if you ever need to use it... This was my first time doing business with budk and will not be the last.. Thanks

I was skeptical on what the quality of a $50 sword would be, but am I totally impressed. This thing is a beast. It's extremely sharp and beautiful. Thank you BudK, will be doing business again!

shinwa does it again. This sword is beautiful straight from the box, and sharp! on receiving this sword, I stood the shipping box on end balanced by leaning it against a laundry basket, no weight to hold it down. One slice cut it clean through, factory edge, 4X4 cardboard shipping box, and a clean cut straight through. I love Shinwa and BudK

So after owning this for around a month now with multiple uses I'm ready to give this guy a review. For those who don't feel like reading through details this sword is worth the price of $50, but if had been much higher (i.e. $80-$120) I can't say I would still recommend it. Pros: The blade is quite sturdy for 1045 carbon steel, and lasted through targets that were way above what a 1045 sword should be used for. The edge out of the box, while not hair shaving sharp, was still a workable edge that could cut through targets (though sharpening it would take away the anodization, so do so at your own risk). The hilt was well wrapped, and has not loosened or warped at all. The tang is also solid, with no welds or fractures to speak of, which is a blessing for a sword in this price range. Cons: Unfortuantely the sword I got had a loose guard right out of the box, though it did not loosen up any more than it already was even after cutting, so it's quite possible I may have just ended up with a lemon. The blade also does not at all in the scabbard. Even lifting the blade up by the hilt and not the scabbard will end in the scabbard falling away, revealing the blade, which can be quite dangerous depending on where the sword is and what's going on around it. Conclusion: As stated above, for $50 I absolutely recommend getting this sword, be it for practice cutting, or as a economical ninjato. If it had been much higher ($80-$120) I would not have been able to recommend it so easily. Absolutely not on par with a $150 ninjato, but it gets the job done, and gets it done rather well.

This sword is great out of the box, it cut strait through 2 inch bamboo with a cut so clean that it felt like plastic. The only reason that i give it a star less is because the handle tends to wobble and come loose over time and mine came with holes drilled through the handle like they messed up on the menuki.
