Product Description
This sword measures 41 inches in overall length, with a 27 inch blade made of 440 Stainless Steel, and an 11 1/2 inch black nylon cord wrapped handle. Includes free display stand! The tsuba (guard) is a simple black cast metal ring design. The saya (scabbard) is finished with a deep black lacquer and made of wood. The sageo (wrap around scabbard) is a solid black nylon cord. This is a reverse blade sword, meaning the edge of the blade is along what is traditionally the back side of the blade. The purpose of such a design is one in which one has sworn to no longer take a life but must still defend their own life.

 good sword, 1 minor flaw September 18, 2008
J. Richards
The sword it's self was in good condition minus the glue on the handle charm showing. The only part I didn't like was that the Tsuba kept coming loose. This is a shelf and cosplay item. As such it makes for excellent decoration! If you enjoy the anime Rurouni Kenshin or its forefather show Samurai X then this is the sword for you! Get it, you know you want it, what are you waiting for! lol seriousely though, it's a good sword and even with rough handle it can last a good long time.
 As happy as a little pig August 9, 2008
Rahne Kirkham (Federal Way, WA USA)
I couldn't believe the price. Even after reading the reviews, I didn't expect a sword of such quality. I expected something light and flimsy, something that would not feel like a sword in my hand. However, as I was buying it more as a symbol for some life choices I have made, I thought it would do. After all, a price I could actually afford! When I went seeking a sakabato like Kenshin's, I thought I would have to make do with putting it on my wishlist and looking at it longing for the rest of my life.
Then, it arrived. I unpacked the sheath first and thought it was the sword sent sheathed. I was disappointed but not too bad...then I found the blade. Feels like a sword in my hand. The blade catches the light and looks deadly and sharp. It is solid and real and I love it! A perfect symbol a woman who is a pacifist but still a warrior. Truly, I am as happy as a little pig (P-chan?)
Awesome price for a good display sword. October 17, 2007
Kok Wei Ming Lester (Singapore)
The sword arrived in mint condition, really solid with the edge reversed. Its made outta 440 stainless steel. its handle is slightly longer and the blade slightly shorter den most standard 40" katana as the blade is only 39".
Overall a good buy for its price and worth as a collector's item...
Great October 12, 2007

This is a great looking sword that is very stable. The metal is good but easy to damage so don't hit is off the blade of another sword. Also be careful not to hit it on something really hard because it's not full tang and it can break easier than other swords.
Overall the sword is a great buy, it looks awesome and it's not too heavy to swing! Though I recommend for beginners to get a smaller or lighter one first.
Good sword September 16, 2007
Blaze Hellfire (Maryland)
This sword is awsome. I don't know what to say, but when it arrived it was sharp as heck. This sword can cut through an 8 inch branch, and the blade doesn't bend or dent. It stays sharp. Good idea. Get it.
