Makoto Handmade Razor Sharp 41" Black Samurai Katana Sword - Dragon Tsuba Blue Blade

Used as a going away gift. Great quality for a display piece, though was sharp enough you good in theory use it functionally. Just not sure how long it'll hold an edge. Only down side was the gold highlights on the hand guard were poorly painted. But as this is just a display piece, it's hardly noticeable.

Matches the quality of other affordable swords ranging $100+.... Not saying they are perfect, not saying they are garbage. It's full tang. It's sharp. It's half the price of those..... I was more than satisfied.

Used for decoration. Was surprised the sheeth was plastic. But still looks good.

Sturdy and sharp but I am only using for display so take with a grain of salt.

You get what you pay for... Not battle ready i was teaching a friend swordfighting and we taped the blade barely all the blue zinc is falling off (I figured) the first tap and the blade edge is bent not even full swing a tap to the edge and bends..... Not razor sharp at all. Couldn't even cut threw bamboo matting very disappointed the only thing thats sturdy is the tang in the hilt. I do not trust it to fight or spar i believe it will break or shatter if i did a full impact. If I buy a sword and it says battle ready it better be i cant trust the sword to fight

I only paid around 50$ so I shouldn’t have expected much to begin with. The blue rubbed off, the scabbard is rough, and it overall rushed overall. It’s a cool FIRST sword, but if you want good quality look at the more expensive blades.

This is greatly made and worth more than $50. It looks just like the picture.

small crack at the end of the wooden sheath. feels a little wobbly when going for a swing. it's a display piece not really a weapon or razor sharp
