Shinwa Imperial Knight Black Damascus Katana Tan

i got this sword as a BOGO and they are both Outstanding. solid construction. beautiful swords. nice weight. very sharp. had one little hicccup with delivery, but as always TS came through incredibly fast. only one regret is that i didn't buy more while they were BOGO.

With help from customer service I was able to find out these have an HRC of ~45. This is a beautiful sword. Very well put together and the tsuba (guard) has a very cool design. The wrap is very tight and looks good too. Came sharp right out of the box but could have been sharper I think. I got this during the bogo deal and am I glad I did. Only real complaint is that one of them curves ever so slightly to the left and the other slightly more to the right. These are my first swords so I don't know if this is something that just happens and how much it will affect cutting.
