Update 04/18/2026

"I felt this bad boy deserved and update and teueswords a shout out. I bought this blade in 2011. See photos. Aside from minor saya cosmetic issues she is practically flawless even after 15 years. Although I have cared for it, that is still a testament to the blade Smith and twueswords. I am blown away how a katana is paid $70 for is still this nice. I have used it a few times and the edge dis not chip even once. I did however have to use a whetstone on the edge. I am flabbergasted. Even at the current retail, do not hesitate to trust this katana. I may replace the tsuba on mine but that is it. A+++++++"

Beautiful sword first and foremost sadly missing paint though

"Really solid feeling with no rattle. Sharp as can be right out of the box. Goes into the Saya easily but stays in snug in a good way. Unfortunately the Tsuba is missing paint as if it chipped. So there’s a big silver metallic blemish where the paint should be that is a bit of an eyesore. For the cost not an absolute deal breaker but I’m still a bit disappointed with this being my first purchase on here and all. However the sword itself is nice I just was unlucky I’m sure. Shipping kept getting delayed too but I’m sure the current situation with covid is the reason."

Actually good

"Looking through the reviews for this sword, all I see are five star reviews. This did scare me a bit because I was thinking there was no way for this sword to get only perfect reviews, however after purchasing it I can see why. This is my first sword so I guess I don’t really know what to look for but I can’t find any defects and I am pretty impressed with how solid and clean everything feels about it."

Amazing

"After researching handmade/forged swords for hours and many different sites, I was amazed to come across this Musashi clay tempered Katana for such a reasonable price. I bought it for my husband as a gift. We are both "Forged in Fire" addicts. This sword arrived in perfect condition. The blade is straight and extremely sharp. Everything about this Katana screams quality. Don't let the price suggest something different. It's a beautiful work of art, well balanced with a full tang."

Very pleased!

"I purchased one of these recently, and I have to say that of all my swords (I also have 7 European style swords), this one is the best regarding both quality of craftsmanship and materials. Some of my other swords cost twice as much, and are made of 440 stainless and the grip constantly loosens on the tang. Nice for hanging on a wall, but could never be used for "home defense" unless you wanted to beat someone with a metal stick :o) The hamon on this one is just subtle enough and is clearly "organic" and irregular, as it should be. Definitely not wire brushed or fake. Everything is tight and well assembled. The sword slides easily but then seats snugly into the scabbard. The packaging was very good as well. The blade was oiled and wrapped in cellophane. The cardboard box and cloth cover were also good quality. The sword arrived in perfect condition (no scratches, fingerprints, etc). The only thing that looks or feels a little cheap on it is the cord wrapping on the scabbard (feels like thick shoelace material), but it's such a little detail compared to the rest that it is easy to forgive/ignore. I can't bring myself to cut anything with it for now because it's too beautiful, but it is very sharp indeed. Handling is light and this sword is nimble, exactly NOT like my European swords that feel slow and blade-heavy. 4 weeks later, and I am still amazed at how good this sword is for the price... Definitely recommended. No buyer's remorse. In fact, I'll be buying more Musashi swords!"

BEAUTIFUL!!!

"it was love at first sight with this blade. I opened the box and was very impressed straight from the beginning, and when I drew it from the sheath I fell in love. the blade is just gorgeous, polished and so sharp I cut 1/4 inch thick leather with ease. simply put, this is a must have for any collector"

best sword ever

"This sword is the best"

— Martin J. (5/5)

The pictures don't do this

"The pictures don't do this sword justice. It is absolutely stunning and feels very sturdy and well made. Comes with a certificate of authenticity as well, which I wasn't expecting. I haven't cut anything yet but after seeing how beautiful it is, I don't think I want to anymore. It didn't have a scratch on it and came with some grease that you just wipe off. So worth the money!"

This sword is beautiful, and

"This sword is beautiful, and every bit what I expected. It came razor sharp, and finely polished. The handle is tightly wrapped, and does not feel like it will come undone, even with heavy use. The tsuba looks very will made, and the attention to detail on this sword is amazing."
