1060 Carbon Steel Black Katana with Dragon Tsuba in Red and Black Ito - Full Tang Collectible Samurai Sword |
The two katana true replicas are of very high quality. The blades' color is showing the knowledge of forging. The Tamahagane steel piece is of higher quality than the other one, a fact reflected also in its higher price point (beyond $1000 or colloquially a grand). The handcrafting of the tsuba (guard) for the one that I've chosen with the erotic samurai-geishas' motif is a very impressive work of art (see photos) and I would recommend it for both historians like me and passionate collectors of the medieval Japanese civilization. Very good work on the two scabbards and the other guard also. My only concern in regards to fabrication and construction is the fact that I would have liked to see brass or steel pegs where the hilt is mated to the tang area and not the traditional wooden pegs. It's ok for display purposes but it would be a problem when one starts to apply pressure and force through the blade when cutting or striking. Other than that I would recommend the purchase of models higher than $1k for true aficionados and for people who really want to test the blades' cutting ability. I will also return soon with another order for some Shirasaya katanas (sleek katana models without a guard) that were featured so artistically magnificent in the two Kill Bill masterpieces by mr. Tarantino !

1060 Carbon Steel Black Katana with Dragon Tsuba in Red and Black Ito - Full Tang Collectible Samurai Sword |
I Received the Katana within 10 days from ordering. Pretty good considering it came from overseas. (Orient). Was packaged very well. It came completely wrapped for protection as well as a well oiled and protected blade. The Katana is razor sharp and beautifully crafted. As with my previous purchase this Katana fit into the scabbard perfectly and maintained a secure fit when sheathed. No slippage. The tsuka again, as with my other Katana, was very precise with a tight, clean weave over redray skin. The blade was a black 1060 steel with a hamon visible on the sharpened part of the sword. It did not appear to be etched or scribed. It looked like it was genuinely creatd using a clay mix and then fired in a forge. The saya was done in a high gloss black laquer finish. The tsuba is made from iron and well done. the swords balance point centers near 4-5 inches ahead of the tauba for a good feel with decent control and follow through. Almost effortless. Overall another great addition to my other Katana.
