The shikomizue is a medium-length, single-edged Japanese sword that is characterized by its unique method of mounting. The shikomizue mounting style consists of a cane-like scabbard used to conceal the sword. The shikomizue was designed to look and even function like a cane. To use the shikomizue, a samurai warrior would pull the handle from the scabbard, revealing the medium-length blade. Upon wielding the shikomizue, a samurai warrior could use to perform piercing thrust attacks or slash attacks. Its moderate length and discreet design made it formidable weapon for close-quarters combat.
First, I was surprised at how fast it came, less than a week. The wood is rich in color, very smooth, excellent quality. The steel is a little thicker than some of my katanas, but its excellent steel, forged very well with an obvious harmon, very sharp. An excellent wakizashi, especially at this price point.

I love this sword;the fact it came early on the Sabbath, I actually prayed over it and had it blessed. I love the color, the lightning, the sheath,the character of the blade overall regarding design, even the leather grip ,feels amazing.
It feels like a full tang in the blade, great weight for me and working on my forearms. Haven't done a cutting test quite yet but I felt the edge slide against my finger and I know for sure it's sharp, yet it didn't cut me to cause bleeding.
Awesome blade, I recommend.

Handmade Chokuto Ninjato Straight Sword High Manganese Steel With Blue Lightning Blade |
Sword over all is great quality for the price. Super sharp, beautifully crafted.
However the saya (sheath) is much brighter than it looks on the site, almost like glitter. I was expecting a more forest green.
All in all very satisfied.

Handmade Wakizashi Sword T10 Folded Clay Tempered Steel With Brown Scabbard |
I admittedly bought this sword and its shorter companion with the intention of cannibalizing their koshirae to be put on another blade, so I wasn't particularly concerned with the utility of the sword. However, I'll admit that when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised by it. The construction seems pretty tight, the blade while flat ground and through tempered has a pretty good geometry and feels solid. For the money I gotta say this is a really good buy.

I wasn’t sure what to expect because this was an anime based katana for my son. The sword is made excellent. It has good balance and it is actually built like a real katana. I was worried it would be like something from a pawn shop or cheap knock off store. I’m extremely pleased.
