Shinwa Regal Purple Damascus Steel Katana Sword

This thing is breathtaking right out of the box. When I received it it was in mint condition blade sharp and oiled. I ordered a couple Shinwa swords before but this one came in an ornate box wrapped flawlessly. I recommend this one if you’re looking to buy a first blade or just an amazing piece of steel.

Katana was exactly how described and sharp right out of the box.

This is my 5th Shinwa Katana. It is perfect. Balanced to perfection. Cuts like a dream. I highly recommend this Katana.

ive wanted a katana for years! Not a stamped steel POS. A battle ready Katana. I just got done cutting every plastic bottle in my house! I must say after 20 plus bottles. The blade is still tight in the handle. No nicks or blowouts. I could not be more pleased with it. It looks cool and is functional as a weapon! My wife already told me to put it away before I hurt myself!

It took a wile to get here but it was worth it, its a beautiful blade with tight wrappings and well painted sheath. The blade I got was sharp but not all the way down, what i mean by that is that the tip is vary sharp but the farther you go down the blade the less sharp it is until you get to the bottom and its dull.the quality is just as its being told by the company, the only complaint i have is that when it came to my house the paint at the bottom of the sheath was scratched off. all in all its great, and for the price of a hand forged sword its amazing

I love this sword the blade could be a little sharper but it does have a real sharp blade the weight is perfect the blade is beautiful I haven't cut any thing with it yet but the quality is apparent

All I can say is a pictures worth a thousand words hats off to all those at Shinwa this sword is awesome even better in person then the picture makes it look matter of fact its so sharp I think I might just try to shave with it beats the heck out of a Gillette and they said that was the best a man could get they were wrong its a Shinwa would recommend to anyone weather your just starting out or a avid collector thanks Bud K you'll be seeing me again soon in the future.

I own a lot of blades & Shinwa swords are among the best I've handled. Unlike most companies Shinwa delivers as promised by far the sharpest right from the packaging. And definitely not those garbage pressed blanks.

I got mine! The photos here do not do this sword justice! It is so beautiful,the detail,the layering in the blade and the handcrafting!The blade is so sharp,be careful,this is not a fake sword only good as a decoration. This sword is a fully functional,deadly weapon,meamt to be used!!! Get one,it's sure to become a family herlome.

The Shinwa Regal is one of the finest swords you will ever own. It's not just the beauty of the blade or entire sword it's also a very strong and powerful sword. Just so you know the tang of the sword is not Damascus,this is normal Damascus steel takes so much time to produce they do not waist it on tangs,this includes Damascus knifes as well. You can't go wrong buying a Shinwa. Thank you Daniel of Nebraska.

Ordered this sword for my wife's birthday. She has another katana, but the beauty and quality of this Shinwa Purple Damascus Katana was amazing. It was plenty sharp out of the box, the layers and color of the damascus are SWEET. She loves it, me too. Not all women want a katana, but for those special few this is worth every dollar. Thanks Shinwa and BUDK..........

Beautiful sword, only bad part is its extremely dull. I can saw it across my arm and it wont leave a mark.

Its not real black Damascus steel its just been painted to look that way. Im not happy with this sword any more.
