Musha Bushido Zetsurin Samurai Sword Black

Received this today. It is a good value for the price. Mine came sharp. Everything fits nice and tight. Beautiful blade. The little knife that comes with it is okay for its purpose. No damage in shipping.

Gorgeous Blade Thank you so much :)

I recieved this sword several days ago and am extremly impressed, first with the beauty then with its deadly aura (established by a gruesome cut across my thumb). This blade came sharpened, sharp enough to cut through a 3' pine tree (probably larger but i am inexperienced in the ways of the blade). This is my first blade/purchase from true swords and i am very happy to say i will be buying another sword.<br />On the subject of the throwing knife it came as sharp as a butter knife and probably not the best throwing knife, granted i only through it into some jello and a pumpkin.<br />P.S my name isnt Tina thats my mom im just not 18 yet but getting there in a few weeks

sword just arrived and again i really didnt think it would look and feel this great, its very sharp and the hidden throw fits snug into its slot, but the blade is remarkable, i look foward to my next buy.

Love this sword! very sharp, and it has a great look and feel.

As I sit here and try to do a level headed review I still can't help but think OMG! Anyway, I'd like to say right now that this is my first Musashi/Musha brand purchase; and I am impressed to say the least. Now onto the review.<br /> Zetsurin Sword Pros:<br />Full tang, good steel, RAZOR SHARPENED (by hand I might add), fully functional, and also a very nice piece of eye candy. Also this blade has no tsuba which I consider a pro but this is personal preference.<br /> Zetsurin Sword Cons:<br />Blade needs to be wiped down with a soft cloth to get it looking shiny. Somewhat difficult to pull out of the saya at first. The wrap is as some have said similar to shoe string but I don't mind at all. <br />Overall:<br />Other than the minor issues I had it is a beautiful blade and currently the best in my collection. If you like the look and price then simply buy it. As for me, I hope purchase all three styles of this Zetsurin Sword.<br /><br />On another note; the 'thrower' is a nice extra, and it is fairly sharp on arrival (I made it razor sharp), you do not want to throw this (except maybe into cardboard or a ballistics gel torso. The blade is thin and bends easily. It does have a very aesthetically pleasing look to it however. Either way, it is a bonus item so don't let it affect your decision to buy the sword.<br /><br />Thanks Trueswords, not just for your quick shipping, but for providing us with a reliable way to purchase high quality, inexpensive products.

First purchase I made from true swords, won't be my last. Great buy, fairly sharp blade

i bought this sword monday it arrived early wednesday morning. for all you sword enthusiest out there this is a must have sword. my sword came with not one defect it was spotless n clean a light caoting of oil, it is perfectly balanced n very sharp, the only thing from making this sword absolutley perfect is that the thrower isnt realy sharp altho it is pointy!<br /><br />i removed it from the box n took it out of the bag n i almost yelld out in amazement i then perceded to turn the box it came in into confettei! i slices threw a bottle of water like it wasnt even there, a gallon jug like it was a asheet of paper, it is not a replica it is a true sword! guess thats why its from trueswords lol but seriously if ur into swords it is a must have! so buy it!!!

Wow... 5 stars all the way. First off: It came in a beautiful Musashi box. Inside the box was the other folder I bought, but the sword was in a wonderful black bag, and I was in awe as I pulled the sword out of it. The first thing I pulled out was the thrower. It's really thin and wasn't sharp. Nothing more than a little stabber (with suprising penetration power) and letter opener. But, I didn't buy it for the thrower. The sword itself was lightly oiled, which was good. It feels amazing in hand, well balanced, and very sharp out of box. Of course, the first thing I did was destroy the shipping box (not the Musashi box, it looks to good) and it had no problem tearing it to shreds.<br />Overall, well worth the money. Beautiful craftsmanship, strong blade, and wonderful overall sword.

I purchased this sword based on other reviews I have read.. and I couldn't be happier. The quality is outstanding for the price, out of the box its one of my nicest looking swords. It's extremely sharp, and very easy to use. I would recommend this sword 100%, and the quality and service will make me a regular customer of True Swords.

Beautifully Made. Love The Designs, And The Feeling Is Jus Right. From All The Swords That I Bought From Trueswords This Is The Best By Far In Beauty, Handling, And Price.

This is a very well made sword for the money. When i recieved it today i was very impressed with the detail in the handle. the blade was very shard, not razor shard but still sharp, the razor part i can fix with no problem. This sword is well balanced and feels great in your hand. it will have an up front location in my collection. Kudo's true swords. i will continue to shop here.

This is the best sword on this site!!!! Igot this sword just a couple hours ago and already I love this sword. It is razor sharp right out of the box. When I got it I tried to clean off all the oil protecting it with a towel and it sliced right through the towel and gave me a half inch deep slice right in my hand. I was more worried about my blood staining the blade than about my hand. Overall I give this sword a 5/5. BUY YHIS SWORD!!!!

this is one awsome sword, DO NOT let the price fool you, this is not a cheap wallhanger sword, and it can CUT. the first thing i did was cut the box it came in clear in half, just like the box was nothing but air, its unique in the way that it not having a tsuba. all in all its a great light/medium cutter that looks good doing it. and once again, true swords managed to ship it to me in only 2 days

This sword is an incredible deal. I was amazed with it's striking hilt and saya the moment I pulled it out of the box. The blade comes pre-oiled and shimmers with beauty. This sword is excellent for any collector. Amazing purchase. <br /><br />The blade comes very sharp, but not quite razor sharp. I did a test on a small piece of bamboo and it cut through it, but not as cleanly as I would have hoped. (It is possible it was just "my" sword though) The throwing dagger is passable. Nice decoration for the scabbard though. Either way. Still an amazing purchase for the price.

This sword is great! I just received it and I am completely happy with it. I give it a 5/5

This sword is amazing. It is well balanced, offers an excellent grip, and is beautiful to see. Also, it may have just been me, but the thrower it came with was actually pretty decent. It was a tad flimsy, and difficult to draw, but it WAS sharp. Overall, an excellent buy.

I just got this sword yesterday and it is the coolest in my collection. Also my first Musashi. The "thrower" isn't what I had expected, but it still is sharp (and I found out the hard way when it fell on my foot). When I say the thrower is sharp, I only mean the tip. The rest is boring and dull. The blade of the katana is razor sharp, and the wrapping is soft on my hands when I swing it around. Not much else I can say, but the decorations on the hilt are pretty cool too.

I'm glad I bought this sword, but I must address one thing. The blade is more crooked than what I expect from the Musashi line. When you look down the blade from the pommel, it's a little out of line. HOWEVER, I would say that after buying other full tang Musashi's, I believe this is the case for this one sword I recieved, and not all of this particular model. It isn't bad enough to impede function though or be noticable without knowing what to look for, so I won't be sending it back.<br />I love the handle. I read a review where someone said the wrapping was comparable to shoe strings. That may be, but man does it provide a soft, sweat-free grip. Much better than nylon wrapping. I love the sleek, no tsuba look.<br />I think the thrower has gotten a bad wrap in the reviews most likely because it was called a "thrower". You automatically think "weighted, balanced death!" Not the case. I don't think it would throw well, but it is as sharp and tough as any kitchen knife I have. Perfect utility knife for the samurai who travels. Plus, for close quarters combat, think about the look on an opponents face when he goes block the Zetsurin blade, then having the tiny hidden knife shoved into his throat. Not a bad knife when you think about it like that. If you want something to throw, they have stars and spikes all over this site.<br />Overall, besides wishing for a straighter blade (which I really should buy Cold Steel if I'm gonna be that picky about it) I think it is well worth the price.

This is a badass sword its my new favorite its light weight but strong and the noise it makes when it slices is awesome too

The only problem with this sword was that the pocket where the hidden thrower is was poorly made. There were lots of air bubbles that made it really rough. The ito seemed dirty, nothing I can't take care of though. As a whole the sword is great and did well in my cutting tests. The light weight feels good and doesn't seem to make it less durable.

The most elegant sword in my collection. Wonderful crastsmenship and it came sharp. It also comes with a sword bag, but whatever you do, do not use it on this sword. Its far too intricate to be covered up. Very well balanced and capable to slice in half the box it came in as soon as you take it out. This is probably the best sword and the best deal on this site. Thank you TrueSwords!

This was a nice sword for the money... doesn't come razor sharp as stated in description. Blade is flexible and ready to use. I sliced a Orange reflective barrell up pretty nice. Gave me some difficulty but over all very nice. The thrower is flimsy but to be expected. I like the fact that it has no tsuba. Good buy if using for light cutting. If cutting heavy material/items the blade with flex and bend.
