Experience the quiet power of the Shirasaya Tanto. This masterfully crafted blade seamlessly combines samurai strength with zen simplicity. The unadorned, minimalist mountings belie the blade's sharpness and precision, a testament to centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship. But the Shirasaya Tanto is not just a tool, it's an embodiment of elegance and heritage. When you hold a Shirasaya Tanto, you hold a piece of history.
I don't have a pic of the sword only a video but I do have a pic of what it did to my thumb when I dropped it and reached for it mid-fall. The sword obviously came super sharp, it looked just like the pictures on the website. It cuts good (not just fingers) so please be careful. Cuts bamboo like butter. It's definitely carbon steel not stainless. The weight is good not too heavy but with enough heft it'll swing good. The hamon is beautiful, the saya feels good and durable. I've bought swords for about $200 that weren't anywhere near the quality of this sword. I got it on discount from the website, TrueKatana also upped the discount after it sat in my cart for a week so I couldn't pass it up at that point. Took about 7 days to get it even from outside the US. The only issue I've found is it needs two mekugi (pegs through the handle and tang) instead of just one. I got it for use not for show so two would've been preferable for rigidity. Also if you plan on sharpening you need the right stones to polish or it will scratch the blade. I felt good with my purchase, definitely got my money's worth. I will get another as soon as possible. Also I'm giving 5 stars because this is the first one I've bought at this price range and with only one thing I considered a con (the single mekugi) I have no reason to not give a full 5 star rating. I hope this helps anyone considering making a purchase.

IT'S COOL AS HELL. It came in on time, and I was admiring the scabbard and the hilt and all that, then I pulled out the actual blade and holyyyyyyyyyyy it was spectacular. It's got a real nice weight to it and the quality is amazing. I quite literally come home and admire it for like 5 mins straight every day. So yeah, great sword, great look, I love it.

Really happy with this set. Purchased for kendo kata (mainly demonstrations etc.), and they certainly fit the bill! The fittings are solid and the handling is excellent. An excellent choice for kata!

Good weight and a razor sharp blade! My only complaints are about the guard and the metal just below the guard dig into the hand/finger when in use.
