if you have the hundred or more dollars to spend on a sword, buy a better one...

i did NOT have that money, but i was surprised that this sword offered more than it is worth. i know i started off sounding like it's not a good sword, which compared to some real master peices it can look shabby, BUT it's totally a functional sword.

which if you are into ninpo is exactly what you want. the ninja used shorter blades for closer combate that allowed attacks from blade and body combined, and they favored a straight blade also. that is exactly what this is, a function over fashion sword, i was thrilled.

the handle is nice and long and allows adequate grip for lots of muscle into your swings,

only problem is the blade is stainless steel or something, it is not made of the iron and whatnot that traditional samurai swords were made of before they were scavenged off the battlefeild by ninja and remade into ninja swords.

but that's not really a 'problem' probably just different maintenance needs.

it was made in pakistan, which isn't a problem but it says pakistan in english on the blade itself so i'm going to scratch it off or something. kind of weird, but whatever.

also, when i bought this sword i already had a sheath so i don't mind that the sheath it came with was definitely NOT intended for this sword, the sword does not even fit into it all the way, but that is the only flaw, so if you want to buy a sword and throw away a cheap sheath it came with (but doesn't even fit into) then buy this sword

I can say this is s very solid and functional Ninjato sword. When I first got it, it didn't come very sharp I had to do that myself with an Accusharp tool since regular knife stones didn't work for me since the cutting edge is very long.

Also the shoulder holder I needed to fix since one of the attachment rings to the holder fell off.

I would say this was a good buy overall.

this ninjato is beautiful. and probably the only non expensive ninja sword size for less than fifty$ the sheath is alright but its manageable. and it does say pakistan, but dude, in very small letters so it doesn't matter. this is a nice sword =)
