This is a top quality weapon that matches up very well with swords costing many times more. The only problem was that the tsuba is so tight that it is very difficult to remove to disassemble for a proper cleaning.
Swordaxe was great! We got the shipment which came with oil for the sword, well due to packaging it leaked and there was no more oil to clean the weapon. We contacted Swordaxe and they replied back in five minutes and sent us a new package of cleaning kit. There are great and will do business with them again!!
Great, battle ready sword at a great price. I'm tired of hearing from people who say that "If you didn't pay [X amount] or more then you aren't getting a good sword. It's bull. I have known people who make swords and they agree with me. It's not about cost it's about results...I got great results with this sword.
One of the strongest blades I won that isn't truly Damascus steel, but is very close to the strength of such. This blade has a good weight to it, which makes it very easy to cut through many things given it has a sharp edge, which mine does. The design and construction are marvelous and I would definitely give this blade some consideration if you are looking for a good sword.
The sword came in faster than expected, and met my high expectations. It is razor sharp, there are no knicks, and it feels as if it was built to last. In my opinion, this sword is worth the money.
This shirasaya sword is a beauty, is very strong. can cut thru bamboo and I'm in love with this sword. I recommend this katana sword who collect o battle to buy it you will love it.
This is one sweet blade! The balance and feel in your hand is awesome. I hesitated on this before buying but couldn't be happier with the purchase. All the Cold Steel quality that I expect and more!
bought this katana along with 5 others (3 from LQ-Swords) Customer service is great, the swords are amazing and i look forward to buting more swords from this seller.
For anyone interested in buying an affordable katana, I suggest that you do some homework first. There are several major manufacturers, mostly in China, making swords these days, but quality is going to vary.
I purchased this Katana to protect myself from zombies. You can imagine my disappointment when shipping was so slow that zombies had killed my whole family before it finally got to me. However, when it finally got here I was very impressed with the attention to detail. It is very sharp and light weight. The colors are beautiful. I have already used it to kill 7 zombies. One of which was the UPS man who had me sign for it. I didn't get a good look at him before I struck, but he appears to have turned back into a human after my fatal blow. I am currently hiding in a window well and spying on the zombies to learn their ways. When the time is right, I will strike. 5/5 would buy again!
