Cherry Blossom Katana, 1045 Carbon Steel Hand Forged Full Tang Sword | hand-sharpened for tameshigiri, wavy temper, bo-hi groove, openwork guard, black saya

This katana from handmade sword is really an incredible work of art. Shipping was lightning fast. I bought the cherry blossom design. Now into the critique. The craftsmanship is beautiful. The blade came out of the saya very sharp. The packaging was some of the best ive ever seen from an amazon seller. Cardboard tube into cardboard tube into a box with packing material. Other amazon sellers could really learn from these guys. The price soeaks for itself, honestly i couldve been fooled into believing that its a 1000 dollar katana. Beautiful showpiece, would recommend buying a stand for display.

The blade has some cutting marks like hair scuffs that look large and not finished nor polished. The round box is missing a white plastic cap from factory but it is okay, but the wood scabbard is cracked and damaged upon unboxing. It is a good value when it is on the 50$ range compared to the defects. Give this a chance it is well put together with some defects to be expected of course.

Very sharp, was carefully cleaning the grease off with a tissue and the blade rubbed against my finger and cut it open. I got blood on the bag it is stored in.

My first katana to start my collection. Based purchase on user reviews of seller. Very affordable, and delivery arrived 2 days sooner then scheduled. Delivered in cloth wrap, inside sturdy cardboard tube, inside unmarked boxed. Was able to find a design I liked from multiple choices available. Katana had heavy amount of oil/wax on the blade. But read that this was due to prevent blade rusting, and should keep on blade until able to clean and reoil blade myself. One negative, the blade is slightly curved, bent, to the right about a few inches from the tip, when looking down the blade from the handle. Overall, I like it and will continue to add to my collection. Just unfortunate about the bend.

Quality is about as expected for price. Looks pretty cool. Not sharp at all, my dullest kitchen knife is sharper than this blade. Over all, for the price... it's okay.

It said that was clay tempered but it wasn't. I tried to etch the blade and nothing appeared of it, and just a bit of sandpaper and the "hamon" is gone, it was made with some type of brushing. also the Yokote just disapeared anter I use a 1500 grit sandpaper to remove rust that formed after trying to make the hamon pop with acid. So I don't know, its something cool and cheap, but if I would like to pay a bit more at least knowing that I can get a real hamon out of it, at least with acid

Nice looking sword. Good for display. It was sharp out of the box. I can’t speak on quality as I don’t have sword fights often but it looks and feels pretty solid with its full tang

Grandson just loved this sword. Well wrapped speedy delivery. Sword was nicer than expected. Strong , Beautiful and Sharp. Didn't expect it to be so sharp. Not for children . Great purchase would re buy.

Beautiful sword. Every piece is tightly placed and you can tell it was built with care. The blade actually care very sharp which I was pleased with. The only issue I have with it is that the pins in the handle are visible.

Beautiful katana, fast delivery, but not sharp at all, as u can see in the video.
