Tiger In The Garden Samurai Sword

Great design and sword for your collection . Looks beautiful and you cannot beat the price. Don't think it's a sword for practice or fighting . But if you want great looking display this ones it .

This sword is a beatiful and it shows how swords should be!

Overall A VERY Good Display Sword, Im Pleased With It Generally, Not Sharp But For $25.00, I Wasnt Expecting It To Be, It Is Thick With Grease But I Guess Thats Just To Preserve The Blade, A Little Hard To Get Out Of The Saya But It Seems That After Removing Alot Of grease Its Getting Easier, My Only Real Complaint Is, The Ito And Saego, (Sword Handle And Sheath Wrapping) Arent As Crimson Red As The Picture, Its A Bit Darker And Kind Of Dull Looking As Opposed To The Shiny Red Pictured, And The Longer Thinner Blood Groove On One Side Seems As If It Wasnt Ground Out All The Way, But None The Less, Its A WONDERFUL Display Piece, But If You Want One For The Functionality Of It, Get The $90.00 Version.

Its So Beautiful I Love This Best Choice For My First Sword

Nice sword ! Got it yesterday it looks very well made..... Fast shipping

Love it love it love it love it

I got this originally to have a neat looking sword that I wasnt afraid to get damaged. I would like to point out several things i found wrong with it. While it looks good for decoration, the blade is super thin in my opinion, probably the only thing that doesn't make its lack of a significant spine dangerous is that its made from carbon steel. Second, mine had clearly alot of machine tool work on it that nearly ruined the asthetic a bit. I've been told this is not true in all cases though, so take from that what you will. Thirdly, its light. Super light. I have a wooden sword heavier than it. I guess over all, get this for a display piece or to teach a kid how to properly care for a sword (no edge on it either out ofthe box) since it is carbon steel, maybe use it forform practice. I'm not really disappointed in this because it never once claimed any sort of functionality, so its basically what it says on the box, in a manner of speech.

very nice looks very nice sterdy

Sword came in time, Though the blade wasnt exactly a blade. Nothing a half hour with the accusharp didnt fix. Other than that sword looked just like it did with the picture. Cuts stuff very nicely once sharp, and the point is very.. pointy. I recommend this sword.

This is a great sword. Contrary to other reviews mine was actually quite stable and sturdy. No rattling or loose parts. However it did come coated with thick grease which took a couple hours to remove from the blade and saya. Not full tang but if I sharpened it I'm sure it would at least cut through 3 maybe 4 inches of straw or grass. Not a bad sword for the price.

I purchased two sword on 4pm thursday and i received saturday at 2pm how fast is that?TRUE SWORD and FEDEX are the best,only one problem is one of my sword the cotton wrapped handle is black color and not match color purple on the wire knob scabbard though,this swords is beautiful with blood stain on the scabbard so elegance and blade is sharp,i hang it on the wall with display stand got JAPANESE logo look awesome and i felt like a samurai warrior now,thanks TRUE SWORD and i will order again soon.

It is what it is, a cheap version of the kissaki morha Zukuri style. I own a $300 version of this style and purchased this one to use as a blunt practice sword.

First off, This sword is not a functional sword. By that I mean it can not be taken apart, the ito wrap on the tsuka is very loose, and the blade it self is in what seems a half finished state. By unfinished I mean it seems the central fuller on each side end near the tip just before what is obviously drill holes part way into the steel. As for the edge, while not sharp there are some parts that are sharpish. I will have to file the edge down and re wrap the ito to make it a safer practice sword.

As first stated it is what it is. I did not expect much for this price and so am not disappointed. I do however feel it is important to let it be known in this review what to expect if someone is buying this, especially since the reviews I read for this were not very informed. This is a sword you might expect for so low a price, nothing really functional and no real display qualities.

Very impressed with the quality of this sword. Solely used as a display piece. Definitely a great piece for the $$$.

I just got the sword a few moments and I've got to say the sword looks beautiful. The tip is very pointy, almost stabbed myself lol. But it's very well done. My only problem is the white powder around the area where the sword goes in the sheath, but then again it's minor so I can just clean it. This will not be my last purchase from trueswords.com.

this is a good beat up sword....only because when i got this sword the blade was really beat up. the sharpening jobe on it was not the best but i fixed it up. although one of the times i swung the sword the blade bent....and i didnt even hit anything. but other than thoughs things its a good sword.

absolutly beautiful. the saya and hand gard look so nice! very light weight too. not sharp at all but thats easy fixable. by far the best sword ive ever seen. deffinitly worth its price. ide pay double!

I like it but its not sharp but its cool looking so if you want a wepon DONT GET IT but if you want some to display or show of GET IT.

Just received the sword and can say that I'm very pleased with the quality considering the price of the blade. I took a file to the blade and just dressed the edge a littl bit and found that the steel is a little harder than I expected ,so this should be an effective light cutter providing the tang strength is adequate. For the money plus shipping, this is a good deal and if kept within its limitations, should be a good little fun sword.

Just got it, about a week after order. It took so long because of a shipping problem. However it was mostly my fault. Otherwise it would have arrived in 3 days time from order. It is a beautiful sword, the art work on hilt and the colors of the sheath and sword really make it beautiful. The quality is much better than i would have expected for 20$ A must have sword to any ones collection. Thanks true swords.

The sexiest 20 dollar sword I've ever seen. Perfect display/training sword.
