Very happy with this sword.
"This is the second time i purchase from True Swords. I is just what i wanted to practice Iai Do . Since it is not sharpened, very well balanced, good weight,stability,and control. Perfect for practice with my students. I Highly recommend this one. Delivery was very fast ,just a few days. The blade is very well made/forged,full tang. (not for cutting,just practice)."
Amazing product!!!
"This was my first ever purchase from TrueSwords as well as my first Musashi product ever. I have had it for almost a week now and it is amazing for kata practice. The blade sings beautifully when I get the cuts right. Ito is wrapped very tightly and nothing rattles. Saya and blade fit extremely well. Highly recommend!!!"
Musashi Iaito
"I just received this a few days ago and I am very pleased with it. The Musashi Bushido line has been known, for the most part, to deliver quality swords at extremely low cost, and this item is no different. The shipping took about a week, and there were no dents, dings or scratches to the product when I received it. The wooden saya is a matte black and the sword fits into it perfectly. The fittings are tight, leaving the sword with no undesirable rattling. The sageo and ito are of cotton. The fuchi, kashira, and menuki seem to be of cheaper materials, but the tsuba is solid. The same is in panels instead of a wrap, but it still allows for a tight tsuka-ito. The point of balance is a bit higher than normal leaving the sword more blade heavy than what is traditional, but nothing bad enough to make it unwieldy. In my personal opinion, this iaito would serve any student of iai who wishes to have the feel of a shinken quite well."
The sword is beautiful and
"The sword is beautiful and well balanced. My only qualm is that fhe cotton storage bag has a must smell to it and it seems to have imparted that to the scabbard and cotton wrap on said scabbard. Other than that, I am very pleased with the speed of the service quality of the blade. I will be purchasing more swords from True Swords."
excellent blade. you can sharpen
"excellent blade. you can sharpen it when you want even though it comes unsharp but that's good because you can sharpen it how you want the blade is sturdy and perfectly durable for killing zombies burglars and thugs true swords you'v done it again."
LOVE this sword :D Its
"LOVE this sword :D Its nearly perfect for what I need it for. delivered right on time as expected as always. trueswords has never let me down ^^ I may have to re-wrap the hilt after a few months of use though. but thats not the swords fault. its mine, practicing 3-5 hours a day :P it handles exactly like a real katana minus the edge. only complaint I have is that the tip is still vey very pointy. if that was rounded a bit more it would be absolutely perfect. maybe I can fix that myself though, idk. anyways. Its stunning how awesome this simple Iaito is for a measly $50. the musashi/musha brand is simply the best! and Im glad I order their products from the best online retailer! :) arigatou gozimasu trueswords.com! ^^"
Overall a great purchase, exactly
"Overall a great purchase, exactly the kind of sword i was looking for to start my Iaito lessons. First sword i received was bent though, but true sword quickly replaced it and gave me free shipping to send the bent one back. There is one thing that you have to keep in mind when purchasing this sword, high carbon steel will rust so you have to clean and oil it after every practice."
The katana is nicer than
"The katana is nicer than expected for the price,the salesman i spoke with was very helpful and it shipped fast. My first experience with this site was great, I would recomend you shop here first. ( I am not a paid spokesman ha-ha)"
I'm don't know much about
"I'm don't know much about swords, but my karate instructor said a sword like it would be $100-$150. (Lucky for me, he taught me how to use it a little.) :)"
