Excellent quality sword blade. These swords come sharpened. The handle is low quality and made up of Styrofoam and 3 of 4 katanas have 2 nails in the handle that are exposed to the eye and touch when holding the katanas. Given this, I would purchase again even though the handles are low quality. The quality of the blades make up for the low quality handle. You get what you pay for and for 4 swords at under $400, these are in incredible deal. If you are a fan of Zoro's beloved swords, these are a great option while having functional capability. These are NOT to be brought to any type of convention and most local laws do not allow carrying in public. If you are looking to purchase as a collectors item that will not be brought out of the home these are a great addition to your collection. The shipping was as expected and was stopped in NY customs.

When opening the blades out of the scabbards for the first time BE WARNED... there are protective plastic sleeves on each of the sword blades, I presume to not damage the scabbard from the excess amount of oil that they are shipped in. Please make sure to not let the plastic protective coating fall into the scabbard as it is difficult or in some cases impossible to remove once you have sheathed the katana into the scabbard without realizing and the plastic will become stuck at the bottom of the scabbard.

All in all, I would purchase again if it was necessary or as a gift, but if you are looking for the BEST quality handle, you have to be willing to pay more elsewhere and may not find Zoro's swords made in a full katana's quality as these should cost $400 each and the market is limited on the buyers side.

Thank you for producing these and selling them. Great addition to a stay at home collection!

Handmade Japanese Hamidashi Tanto Sword T10 Carbon Steel Real Hamon

This is the second unit I purchased from TK ....the
sword is very hard to remove from the saya. The brass
fitting, once it goes into the saya, it becomes almost
imposible to remove without using a screwdriver and excert some torque to it.
Can you send me a UPS label to return and have it replaced..???
Thanks

Handmade Shirasaya Wakizashi Swords Without Tsuba With Rosewood Scabbard

The sword is solid but nimble with a more slender blade,but the red black leather handle with the solid suba and the cool red blade combined with the flawless wood saya makes this a piece to just show off. It's a beaty.

Very nice, well made sword. I never considered its weight, but I can feel it is solid.

Hilarious "do not use for" rules on the enclosed card. (Ex. - Do not groom your dog with this sword")
