Handmade SwordFully Functional Hattori Hanzo Katana Sword, 1045 Carbon Steel, Hand Forged Heat Tempered, Full Tang, Sharp, Black Scabbard

Such a well balanced, well crafted piece. I admire the detail and smell of real leather that is already breaking in nicely. It is such a beautiful thing to treat yourself to. For the money you spend, you are getting something that will last a long time and give so much more in joy. Sharp, weighted well & by far one of my favorite thing I've opened from the post. Set yourself aside time with this daily and you'll realize it's value is deeper than money.Thank you for shipping it so fast, packed so well...I am so happy with mine.

It looks great!! I wasn’t expecting much for the price point. But it actually looks pretty good. The blade fits fairly well in the Saya, or scabbard. Doesn’t fall out, has to be pushed out with your thumb. Not much blade rattle. The grip is sturdy enough. The leather smells like real leather. The ray skin is probably fake, but that’s ok at this price point. Has a nice hamon on the blade. The engraving on the blade is decent. There’s a few small little blemishes on the blade, but it’s probably from shipping. Cuts paper just fine. Overall it’s most definitely worth the money to me. I need to buy a sword stand next so I can properly display it.

Very well worth buying either display or use for filleting fish, steaks, zombies have at it. Came very sharp no need for sharpening. Ready to use. HMS makes beautiful blades!!!

Sword seems nice, but the tsuba wrap was sloppy, and the sageo wrap was untied and hanging. This is a gift, so I'm going to try and fix it myself

Comes in a box. In the box is a round box open it up and see the clothed wraped sword. unwrap sword and see a nice sheath take that off and see the beauty of this sword. Very nice work. Don't be fooled though by her beauty. She is sharp. Would by over and over again. no regrets.

I recently watched the KB duo again and re-caught the bug. When if first came out there were lots of "Official License" KB swords about. Most were 440ss and cheaply made which is why I never bought one.I started looking for KB swords and found this one ( Handmade Swords ‎657) here. I researched around and found many different discerptions of it, even the reviews here had different information:( I posted a question and received confused information. What follows is my honest, semi-informed review...The blade is carbon steel, it has a hamon line and a Demon chop. The one I received is straight without any twist. The sword has been sharpened but not polished. The Same looks and feels like Ray skin. The black Ito on the Tsuka feels like leather. The Tsuba & Saya look like the ones in the photos. All in all, I'm extremely please with this Sword and the people that made it:) We'll do business again. Cheers!!

This katana is even better in person! All the detail is there and you can tell a lot of care went into making it. It does not come with the stand. We thought it did but we made the mistake of assuming. The blade is extremely sharp, which was a very nice surprise. Overall, this product is exactly as described and worth the price even if it is cheaper than some katanas that are being sold.
