The Last Samurai Musha Bushido Sword

The Musha blade is very well made. I like the engraving that it has which really gives an inspiration "I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new.” The handle is very well made, which makes the sword really easy to handle and hold. I love the wrapping that it has, feels very realistic. The blade has a very nice gloss which in any case was a great presentation when I opened the box. The blade wasn't bent and the carbon steel feels very strong, which makes it last longer. I would recommend this product 100%

Saya came broken, didn't want to go through Their return policy. Liked the blade, ok sharp is double pinned.definatley a weapon

First time buyer but it looks like a hit the jackpot. Great sword with nice balance and nice detail. Many more purchases to come. "Too many swords, not enough time"

Another sword add to my collection. And just like it descrided and it is very sharp and got great weight to it. A pure and true craftmenship to this sword and love the translation. I'll be coming back!!!

Bought this sword at Christmas time. It's quite a beautiful sword. nice balance, tightly assembled, Thank you True swords!. It's too bad you don't carry the wakizashi to go with it.

Other than chopping up the cardboard box that it came in, I haven't really used this sword for cutting anything but it feels great in my hands. The blade is sturdy and powerful (Full tang, after all). The handle is sturdy as well and beautiful. The engraving is masterfully done, smoothed perfectly and with no jagged or rough edges. The scabbard is wood so it's nothing really special, but still excellent for the purpose it serves. All and all, I extremely recommend it. I love it, and it still remains one of my favorite purchases from Trueswords. Love it!

I have been into sword collecting since I was 17. I have owned alot of Katanas. I am quite adept at handling them. Most swords I have purchased, no matter the price have never been "out of the box sharp". Well folks, this one was.<br /><br />It came with a razor sharp edge, my first test cut was of course the big ugly cardboard box it was shipped in. It cut through like butter, perfect cut. That being said, the fittings are extremely tight, nothing rattles. The blade took no damage at all after hacking the box up into pieces, and no level of sharpness was lost. <br /><br />As always trueswords had extremely fast delivery, ordered this katana yesterday, and it arrived this afternoon while I was at work. It arrived very clean, no wood chips on the blade from the saya (scabbard), it wasn't drenched in oil like some companies do, the sword bag it comes in is very nice and high quality, with a silk feel to it.<br /><br />The Hamon is wirebrushed but that's fine. I will say it is extremely light, it's the lightest Katana I've ever held. Obviously at the end of the day however it is a 59 dollar katana and it's not meant for heavy duty cutting such as anything wooden, or metal (which...you shouldn't try and cut with ANY Katana). But for light cutting, plastic bottles, pool noodles, light tatami etc it's perfect.

Excellent sword, for both display and use. Recommend this to anyone who's looking to get their first sword.

Great product at the price point, cane sharp clean and most of all STURDY!! Definitely a good buy for collectors maybe not cosplayers though it is sharp so be careful. Awesome design, blade fits nicely within scabbard and did I mention the functionality due to full tang design? Best part of my 1st order from Trueswords.com

A friend of mine ordered this sword and recommended I order one to add to my collection. Based on what I've seen, and held, this sword is of excellent quality and a must-have for any collector.

Had this for a While now and It's an awesome Sword, Took a while to get here because I was in Hawaii but the wait was worth the wait. Feels good on the hands and pretty light, Although it's battle ready....I don't Recommend anybody to chop trees with it. It's Sharp,Full Tang and Pretty Light, For any gift for a sword fan or Martial Artists I Highly Recommend This Katana from Trueswords.com

Very nice Samurai sword. It's nice & light weight the engraving is detailed it's my first item i bought from this website & from the excellent craftsman ship I'll be buying a lot more thanks True Swords.

Amazing sword! It has a nice sturdy heavy feel and it comes sharp. Love it, great buy. My only complaint is that theres no throat on the sheath

this was my 1st sword from true swords and i love it i will be ordering soon.

LIKE TRUE SWORDS FAN PAGE I JUST ORDERED THIS SWORD AND IT IS A LEGIT SWORD LIKE FACE BOOKS FAN PAGE TO TRUESWORDS.COM AND HELP THEM OUT <br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/Trueswordscom/198274756938297

This was my first purchase and boy am I liking it! The sword shipped quickly and looks just as it does in the pictures! If all True Swords are this high quality, I expect to be a frequent patron!

You know how sometimes something will look great in the picture, then in real life its not so good? Well, this sword looked even better than the picture. I bought this sword for a sword ceremony at a wedding and boy is it classy! I just wish I could get something as good as this at the price for the bride, but I had to settle, as the Musashi sword in white is out of stock. If you are thinking about getting this sword, don't hesitate. Shipped right to my door in a couple of days. Absolutely great order management! Bookmark TrueSwords as your first place to order, they really are on their game.

Perfect thats all i can say. Very sharp very very very minor imperfections. you cant beat it for the price. Beautiful engraving. Definately a great buy for anyone beginner collector or advanced.

This is my first buy from True Swords and im thoroughly impressed!! I fell in love with this thing the moment i opened the box. This sword is amazing in many ways! The blade is high quality, very sturdy, the fittings are very nicely done and the saya is thick and has a very attractive lacquer. <br /><br />True Swords service is fantastic. I live in MN and I received this blade in about 4 days (not counting sunday) which is very fast. This is a very good buy especially for the money and I would recommend this sword to anyone. Thank you True Swords! You can expect more purchases from me soon! :)

my sword just arrived in the mail. it is absolutely beautiful. as expected of a bushido musashi brand katana. its everything i hoped it'd be and more. the blade is very sturdy and the grip on the handle is great. not only that but this thing is sharp. it can surely be used (not that i would use it) there isn't any fault with this sword what so ever. it is probably the best katana i currently own. the sword itself is pretty light so you can maneuver well with it. The sheath is stunning, they used a special polish paint on it. the kind they use on pianos if im correct. this sword is a definite work of art and is a great new addition to my collection. Trueswords, once again you have made me smile. i will definitely be ordering from you again someday soon.

I just received this sword today and it is absolutely awesome. Excellent product great quality, super sharp and nicely oiled. Speedy delivery. Thanks will order from trueswords again

Recieved this sword today.rugged,sharp,shiny,good looking.My 2nd from trueswords.Very satisfied.Very nice battle ready Katana.

Order wed. got it friday. No complaints at all on shipping. Fantastic. In love with this sword. Very good buy. A must have

Aewsome, service and fantastic product.<br /> I love this sword I thank you for your quick response and great swords.

I have never orderd a product from you before but i have seen swords that friends have gotten and i am very impressed.

Vary nice better thin I thought.

I'm picky, so this will be a bit over described :)<br /><br />First off, ordered on late Saturday, arrived Tuesday! Of course I live 30 minutes from TrueSwords heh. Very well packaged inside and out, so no worries about shipping damage. The first thing I checked for was to see how snug the sheath fit. It is a tad bit loose, but enough to catch on the Habaki. After playing around with it the same day, I noticed it didn't catch quite as well, hopefully over a longer period of time this won't be a problem. REMEMBER, you could always create non-noticeable modifications to solve this problem. Also, Be careful in sliding the blade in and out of it's sheath. If your careless about it, it will start cutting slivers off from the inside of the sheath.<br /><br />The next thing I looked for, with the sheath both off and on, was it's weight, balance, and overall sturdiness. It has weight to it, that's for sure...but definitely not too much; you want that bit of weight in a good sword. This is a very important thing when deciding on a sword, especially a Katana! It is also very sturdy! I love the solid feel to it. You definitely recognize the fact that your holding a sword, and it feels gooood. The balance is nice, but is one of the only things about this sword that I have a problem with. It does NOT have a bad balance, just not that of what I'd expect for a Katana. Just a tad bit too heavy near the base of the blade. But also to it's defense, the sturdiness nearly makes up for it. In both swinging and retreating of the blade,it has a real nice feel and the balance issue is nearly forgotten about. Let's just say you could definitely handle incoming blocks from other blades or what have you. Very sturdy with the sheath removed. With the sheath on there is only one sturdiness issue, and that there is a very slight movement of the blade within...which is why it's important to insert the blade patiently and accurately.<br /><br />The blade is nice and thick which makes me really happy, and from both the edge and the tip are extremely sharp! The blood groove is awesome and without it, it would almost look naked. The engravings in the blade are flawless in every way, and adds tons of elegance. The engraved symbols also seem to be smoked, adding almost a gunsmoke tint to them, causing them to stand out just right.<br /><br />From the Habaki and the Tsuba down, it is absolutely flawless and absolutely no wobble of any sort. Note that this could change if you disassemble your Katana too frequently and without care. The nylon wrap is as tight as could be, and since the nylon strap loops through the Kashiri at the end of handle, it also has a very sturdy fit. The only negative opinion of mine concerning the handle is the pins used to disassemble. They almost look like fake wood and are not completely symmetrical and seems like overtime they could begin to slide out. Once again, if you disassemble your sword too frequently. There's no need to take it apart 3 times a week :)<br /><br />So overall I rate this sword 5of5. I noted some imperfections and possible issues for the future, but the overall quality and incredible price alone makes this sword an amazing buy! Besides the minor things listed above, this sword was received in flawless condition, with no scratches of imperfections of any kind. I am extremely pleased with Trueswords, and I hope my review has helped someone who has been contemplating to buy this Katana!<br /><br />God bless!

Perfect! Great purchase. Very good blade and very comfortable tsuka. For this price it's hard to get better katana.

this sword was my first trueswords buy. I ordered this thursday night arrived tuesday morning. straight out of the box this sword has an amazing feel to it. has a nice edge and just looks all around sexy. when i took it out of the box and after cleaning the blade i had to put this baby to the test i had my roommate toss an apple at me and i would slice the apple in the air, the results were just amazing it was a perfect clean cut right through the middle without any fail, can't wait untill the pumkin test for halloween. this sword being my first buy has convinced me this won't be my last from them. Good job guys.

alright let me just say I love this sword it is just great there is nothing bad I can say about this sword it comes in razer sharp and if you are wondering about the oil that on the blade its suppoust to be there to to keep the sharp and damage free when shipped this sword can be used for real cutting or just be a collector item you will love it and if you are new to this site "true sword" will keep you in the loop about any thing that has to do with your order

This was the first true sword i got, I love it. Well balanced, beautiful, flawless razor blade, and very sturdy, Id recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful sword, great weight, and an excellent peice to be proud to own! Thank you True swords!

WOW heres are customer that is completely blown away!<br />Amazing sword for the price! Battle ready, Razor Sharp, Everything is there I'm completely satisfied with it and will be purchasing more from this company. Thanks True Swords!

I got this sword a day before scheduled delivery even with a last minute address change. The sword was in exellent shape I had to do a double take, I thought this much quality for less than 100 bucks. The finish is flawless, the blade is extremely sharp, The sword is well balanced and has a good feel. Will Make a nice addition next to my higher priced swords. Thanks Trueswords.

This sword is awesome! The Japanese engraving is so beautiful and the sword is well made. Very pleased with this product!

Beautiful, greatly crafted has all Musashi katanas are sharp and movie accurate except the hilt and tsuba contains no red excellent for fans of the movie.

THIS IS A GREAT SWORD!!!!! EVAN I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THIS GOOD BEST SWORD EVER!!!!! 5 OF 5 STARS

WOWWWWWW. like it says love at first sight! you know how some swords are wobbley at the hilt or the gurd or sometimes even the blade?? This is NOT that kind of sword.

A very wonderful sword good for any sword collecter came with a few minor knicks but beyond that it was extremly good and i would have to say it's a must but for any sword collecter and thank you true swords you just got another customer.

The sword is awesome ! not too heavy, quite sturdy, has a nice sharp edge, and overall looks really cool !

AWESOME SWORD! I LOVE IT! it's exactly what i was looking for. YOU ARE AMAZING TRUE SWORDS! i will definately buy again from you!

This is one fine sword. I received it as a present for my 18th birthday and I was most impressed by it. The Last Samurai is hands down my favorite movie and having Nathan Algren's sword is a dream come true :) It's slightly heavier than I thought it would be, but that's a moot point considering that this sword is pretty much flawless. <br /><br />I will definitely be coming back to trueswords to expand my collection.

First off, I cannot believe this sword was as in-expensive as it was to purchase! A great buy!<br /><br />Also, I *knew* I would love "The Last Samurai" before it ever hit the big screen, and when I laid eyes on this sword in the movie for my first time, I said to myself "I have GOT to own that one day!" And now, here it is, in my home, as a VERY special part of my collection. This sword will be my new "crown jewel" weapon in my collection as well, not just because it's a movie replica; but because it's a replica with finesse. You guys have created not just some cheap knock-off factory made piece of junk, you made a REAL, and very authentic replica, that is both eye-catching and functional. Not many sword collectors I know near where I live will be able to say they have a blade this nice among their weaponry, but now I will! Again, Thank You, True Swords, for an awesome and Traditional Style piece of art!

Relatively nice sword especially for the price. It is quite sharp. I collect items of the Japanese culture and have gotten a good amount from trueswords. As always a good buy from trueswords.

I just received my sword today, this is my first order with true swords and I am already waiting to order from them again. The sword has a good feel, very sharp, minor wobbling-but excellent full tang functional piece. I especially love how you can track your order and it coming when they said it would!

Received my Last Samurau Sword in a few days after ordering.<br />This weapon has a great feel , extremely sharp and is well worth the money and then some. It is better than advertised and I would recommend this to anyone getting started in a sword collection or for those that have been into swords for awhile as nice display or even for some light cutting.<br />Think I have found a home here at True Swords , I have been well pleased with all my purchases and will be purchasing more in the future.<br />Thanks True Swords.

This sword is by far the best in my growing collection. It shipped fast and came in perfect condition. The blade really is sharp, and the engravings are flawless. I will certainly be making more purchases from TrueSwords.

Though the sheath has a very minor damage, the sword itself was in perfect condition though. The blade is razor sharp and has a very nice finish. Excellent buy. Definitely worth every penny.

I have had this Sword for 2 years now and I must say it was definatly worth it! I have Used it many times and only minor chipping in the blade. But from cutting everything my blade is a little stained. Over all for 60 Bucks its the best sword I ever had for a cheap price. And its awesome from the movie.

The sword is pretty awesome ! There was only one thing that I didnt like so much was that the sheath was loose, but I've seen that alot on the Misashi/ Musha swords ! I will order from true swords again !

This was my first katana and i have to say i'm pretty pleased with it. i thought it would be a little wider in the blade but it it rather durable. Just a few scratches here and there but over all a good buy.

Got my sword Yesterday, and I have to admit I am fairly impressed, the only issue i saw is that the faux ray skin is slightly punched out near the pegs, but that is negatable. overall the sword is excellent, a very traditional looking katana and not some cheap movie replica spinoff, this thing is functional and VERY sharp. another issue which is not True Swords fault is Fedex wasted time getting it here, 5 days instead of the predicted 2
