Product Description
This Raging Waters Katana was named after the unique tsuba design which features intricately detailed samurai art of a raging storm at sea. This battle-ready katana features a 1045 carbon steel blade that was hand-forged and then honed to a razor's edge. A hardwood handle is double-pegged to the full-tang blade and then wrapped in faux ray skin and traditional cotton cordage. While this sword could be displayed proudly with your sword collection, it is truely at home slicing through rolled grass mats and bamboo stalks. Get yours today and we promise you won't be disappointed!

wife said she'd like a katana, so I bought her one. well made, sharp enough to cut but not razor sharp out of the box. good balance and well appointed as for as the wrapping of the handle. good entry level blade

The steel is nice and springy, it is indeed the tempered carbon steel that is advertised. The blade does not have a tacky looking fake hamon printed on it like many lower end katana, a fact I am grateful for. The one I received has no rattle when swung and even fits very snuggly into the attractive saya. It has an accurate curve and is very straight. The tsuba is thick bronze (or some mettle close enough to bronze that I can't tell the difference), and the handle and it's fittings all fit nicely and look good. It handles close enough like a higher end katana. The tip on mine had a slight bur on it that needed to be honed off but its a much more minor flaw than I would expect from a sword in this price range. Overall I'm impressed with the level of functionality here for the price. This is the perfect weapon to go out and make cuts with while your nicer swords hang safely on the wall.

One complaint I've owned this sword for nearly 2-3 years. When it first arrived it rattled a little bit at the hilt but not enough to cause any problems. It's starting to rattle a lil bit more now. But it's been through (pun intended) all kinds of fruit, so many water bottles, thick sticks through thin trees (which I know is not recommended but yolo) and it's still holding up. So easy to sharpen. No matter what it cuts it goes through like butter. Out of everything I own and all of its flaws it's still my go to sword. I first got when it was 80. And seeing it now at under 60. Bruh. Get this freakin sword.

Got it in like a week and was so stoked to see it outside and was even more stoked once I took it out of the box! It's an absolutely beautiful sword everything was right it came with oil and a handy cleaning guide! The bald is so straight and very sharp! I was extremely satisfied and will absolutely be purchasing more and more from True Swords thank you so much for an outstanding product! A++++++

This sword is unbelievable for what you pay solid construction. Full tang and sharp no frills no fake hamon just an excellent hand forged blade with blood groove all you have to do is razor sharp the blade and you have one hell of a fine weapon that can take whatever you throw at it worth every penny.Great Sword....

This sword it is easily as good as some three hundred dollar swords I have seen so as far as I am concerned this sword is a must have for anyone who likes sword because it is cheap enough to beat up but sturdy enough to stand up to what ever you have to throw at it.

This thing is a very solid sword. Splits through cardboard like air. Only one problem though, the tsuba started to click up and Down after awhile.

I'm very impressed with this blade, it's very well made, sharp right out of the box, sturdy and simply gorgeous. with the factory edge I sliced through a 4X4 cardboard shipping box cleanly. when I ordered this sword I was expecting a $40 sword, what I got was surprisingly well made and of excellent quality. for anyone looking for a good blade for practice and doesn't want to use their higher priced blades, you need to buy this one

This sword sells under several names, but it's made by Musha of China. It is a good carbon steel , full tang (nearly to the end of the handle) heavy duty, well balanced blade, comes sharp and is a full service sword with a wooden scabbard and a well wrapped handle. I would say that this sword is one of the best buys on the web now. I purchased two of these on a 30% off sale at True Swords,,it is also available on other BudK company sites under the code PCSS125 and in a Golden Bamboo design model as PCSS047BK I highly recommenced these swords as it is one of those rare bargains that are only found with much searching time. Just make sure you buy the blade with the heavy blood groove as there is a substitute model that is slimmer and inferior that also sells under the same product code.

This is awesome. I got this and the bamboo full tang model at the same price. This is razor sharp, very well balanced and about 2-3 inches shorter than other standard size katanas. Have cut the box it came with while it was standing leaving it static. static cuts on empty water bottles and milk jugs. simplistic but appealing design scheme, fittings are all very tight on the one i have recieved, no rattle, blade fits securely into saya which is in itself very nice with a little motiff and a textured finish instead of the usual piano black lacquer Get it why not or two use for practice or light cut practice on soft targets like water bottles/jugs newspaper rolls/sheets. Practice kata get it! :D

Wow! Lightning fast shipping. Shipped on Mon at 11am and was delivered to my house Tuesday at 10am so 23hours and the sword was in my hands. The sword is fantastic. Tight, nothing rattles. The only noticeable issue is the bamboo pegs used to hold the tang in the handle go in high on one side and come out about half a cm lower on the other side. And the sword is quit heavy. But I'm 100%pleased. Can't beat it for 40$. It makes me excited because if a 40$ sword is this good imaging what their 200$ swords are like. Will definitely purchase more katanas from trueswords. Thank you so much.

Just received this sword, while it IS my first sword, it's AWESOME in my opinion, the fittings are all tight, the sword fits snugly in the saya, the blade is sharp, cuts bottles with no effort. The only downside is that the blade is like a giant knife, it will cut soft things just fine, but it will get nicks in it if it's hit against something hard. I got a minor nick in it from hitting a fairly thin tree branch, like 1/4 an inch think, but it's only $40 so you can't expect the blade to be any better than this for that price.

The price tag is all the incentive you need. High quality steel, a sleek and sexy design, and a full tang assembly. The blade is razor sharp out of the box, the designs are beautiful, and it is perfectly balanced - and with the price tag you have plenty of possibilities. It can be a great display item, a sturdy training weapon, or just something to cut those disobedient hedges out front in style. <br /><br />Just be warned: this is not a toy, this is a weapon. This thing will go through whatever you want to cut, so keep it away from children!<br /><br />All in all, though, a beautiful piece with an unbeatable price, just like the other Samurai Special blades. If you want the best quality katana for the lowest price, this and the other blades are your best bet!<br /><br />And as always, thank you True Swords for the amazingly fast shipping!

This katana is beautiful. The overall quality of the sword is fantastic. It cut through the box it came in like butter. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to buy their first sword, and I think you can't do much better in terms of quality for cost.

This sword is amazing when I pulled it out of the the box 1st though to come to my mind was how gorgeous it is. Very sturdy very Sharp, best buy ever. Will more than likely buy more swords from TrueSwords

This isn't a katana. This is a piece of art. I'm not a serious collector (I have a few swords) but this is sturdy and very sharp. Right out of the box I was able to cut a 2 liter bottle of water clean in half. And shipping only took 2 days for the cheapest shipping they had. This was my first piece from trueswords and it will not at all be my last.

This sword is Amazing! This is my first purchase from True Swords, and it will definitely not be my last. This sword came extremely sharp, I've been cutting for a couple days, and it is still just as sharp as it was out of the box. The tsuba is a little wiggly, but this sword is an AMAZING deal at only $40. I strongly recommend this sword.

the pictures truly do not do this katana justice. it is a pure work of art, from handle to saya. and the tsuba is one-of-a-kind, and for 40 bucks its an absolute steal. make sure you definitely get a decent stand and a sword cleaning kit. you'll need them. definitely not my last trueswords.com purchase!!

Yea yal, I'm back with my review of my most recent purchase of the "Tatsu Maki Full Tang Katana"! <br /><br />1st of all, this blade really is RAZOR SHARP!! I ran an empty envelope across the whole edge and made a clean cut!<br /><br />This swords weight is more than I expected. Its not really that heavy, but compared to my all wooden katana, its heavy.<br /><br />There are no flaws with this sword what so ever. Nothing is loose, nothing is crooked. <br /><br />This sword is like the "Beyonce" of my lil sword collection. I wish I could give this sword a 200 out of 100, but looks like I have to give it a 5 out of 5.<br /><br />SHOUT OUTS TO ALL TRUESWORDS CUSTOMERS AND FEDEX AND TRUESWORDS.COM!!!!! YEEEAA!!

Got this sword in the mail today. First off, great customer service from True Swords, fast shipping, everything in my order arrived secure and perfectly. On to the sword... It is an awesome blade, for a 40$ sword. You are getting a great, well built, sturdy Backyard Beater for sure. The blade looks great, and came sharp right out of the box. It feels good in the hand, has a decent balance to it, and a nice weight. You can certainly feel the strength and durability in the blade itself. Now... complaints. The faux ray skin on the Tsuka feels cheap, and doesn't look that great anyway. After holding the sword for a few moments the wrap on the Tsuka had also shifted to reveal the wood underneath. Wish it was a bit tighter. The Habaki is also a bit loose, which is fine, but was alarming to hear rattling the first time I swung the sword with any force (I was afraid that the blade was loose). Overall this is about as good as you are ever going to find in a Katana for 40 dollars.

A good katana for $40, probably the best you can find (though I've heard very good things about the Red Spiral). Love the tsuba design. I wish they took the extra step to have the standard saya that are on most, but for $40, oh well. I just hope it doesn't crack since it does feel kinda cheap.<br /><br />The blade is a little loose inside of the saya. You can press the handle up and down and feel the blade shift inside. It draws with minimal effort, if you grab it by saya and have the handle hang downward, it will fall out, just a warning.<br /><br />My biggest gripe with this blade is, 90% of beautifully sharpened, nice, clean, soft edge that slices and dices. But the last 8-9 inches of the blade have a jagged edge. It loses it's buttery smooth sharpness for a choppy, almost beat-up feeling edge. Not a huge deal, still it can still cut but I was a bit disappointed. <br /><br />Just to mention, I cut through a vinyl advertisement sign, sliced through like butter but I didn't realize there was a very thin metal piece through it, it made a small chip in the edge of the blade.<br /><br />Overall, not a bad purchase, get this for a beat around Katana, don't expect a beautiful piece of art like the Bamboo Warrior.
