Now I may be mistaken, but this looks just like the Musashi Bamboo Warrior katana. Which in that case isn't a pretty awesome bugmdget katana with real carbon steel and hamon. But it's also like only a $100 sword. Soo... Look for the authentic Musashi stamp or Smith signature on the tang.

Cold steel awesome products like always. That is why I am a big fan of cold steel, they are a little high but have never been unhappy with the product.

I like it, I like it alot. very sturdy and heavy sword. I think I will cut alot of pig carcasses with this sword!!

My girlfriend bought this sword for me for Christmas but let me sneak a peak early. Katana is well built with a very strong blade. Very sturdy construction, the only thing I was disappointed in was the fact mine was not very sharp out of the box, and because of the finish on the blade I am concerned about sharpening it myself. Worst comes to worst I will pay someone to do it for me.

Wow I can't believe how sharp these blades are keep them lightly oiled to prevent rust, and store them away from children

It's awesome! it was packaged with extra care and arrived in two slim boxes that I tested the sword on. It's super sharp, not razor sharp but sharp enough to do damage. I wouldn't say you could cut through a person but definitely fatally wound them which I don't plan on doing.

beautiful sword. was NOT customized as per my request(they could have just said no, i still would have bought it), but whatever, i'll just buy more swords(probably not from this seller, tho). it is still a fine addition to my collection. on par with other swords in this price range, but barely. hamon appears to be real, as far as i can tell. beautiful, shiny finish, almost flawless. unique saya and tsuba. i got the sword in the pics and i am happy with it. it makes a LOUD chopping noise, which is very cool, but i think i would have preferred it without bo-hi, as i am more interested in devastating damage than sounding cool. i do not think this one will be getting much use in the bamboo grove.

I usualy love cold steel knives. This katana arrived a bit sub standard. There are rust spots about 2 inches long on the face of the blade.

Good as my $3000 Kantana and sharper

BEST BLADE FOR THE MONEY
