Sword is not of the best quality, but certainly worth the 15 dollar price tag. For a wallhanger, I have no complaints. The kanji script carved into the scabbard is very attractive and adds to the traditional look of the sword. All the wrappings are nylon, but look nice enough. The blade is fairly dull, it barely passed the paper test, I might try to sharpen it later.

My only real complaint is that when the sword is removed from the scabbard, there is a greasy film that collects on the blade, but I think it will go away after a while.

it's a rat tang sword and came with the tsuka loose. you can take the plastic cap off of the butt end of it and tighten up the nut on it.
dull blade . took about 30 minutes to get a good edge on it. on the whole it's worth the money. just dont expect something extaordinary. it's pretty nice for 15 bucks.

The sword is beautiful and exactly as expected. The sheath is a black matte. This is a sword that can be used beautifully for decorative purposes. The only reason I did not give it 4 stars is because the blade is not stainless steel. The description said it was but unfortunately it is not. I was interested in a stainless steel blade for concerns over any rusting that may occur with any other type of blade. The stand is simple but does its job. It displays any sword in an elegant manner.

This an okay sword, but they gave me the wrong stand. in the picture the stand had the same markings as the sheath, but on mine they're different and I don't know what they mean. Also in the description they said that the sword was "already sharpened" this is not the case, it simple has a false edge. (an edge about 90 degrees, not good for cutting anything.)

I imagine it should be obvious to most people but this sword is not meant to actually be used. It is for decoration purposes only. It may look nice and that is fine for most people but the fact is that there is very little about this sword that is authentic. More than likely it is machine made and sharpened. If you are looking for the real thing and not just an imitation I suggest looking at a different sword, maybe something from Paul Chen (Hanwei).

I think this sword is well worth the 15 dollars for it. I have many high end swords as well, but for the 15 dollar price range this is great. Its a stainless steel blade (which in most cases is much narrower than the handle making it look rather ugly) but is a good width. If you want to hang it on the wall, it'll look great but i actually use it to trim the garden. its nice to have a sword i can practice with and not worry about if it gets damaaged. if you find that it gets loose, remove the cam on the bottom of the handle and tighten the bolt.

This is a good sword for practice and katas. It is a true work of art with its designs and whatnot. For practice and workouts it works well. It is slightly blade heavy in my opinion though. If I am correct, this is a MOVIE PROP sword so don't be surprised that it has a false edge. The wax or grease everyone is talking about is a protective coating of grease that is applied to protect the sword from oxidation, or rusting, while in storage prior to sale. Almost all bladed weapons or tools are stored in this way at some point. If it bothers you, you can just wipe it clean with a cloth. No big deal. Dont forget to clean it and regrease it with the proper kit to prevent it from rusting. As a decoration it is a work of art. The stand is real light though so dont be surprised if it falls over alot if you live near railroad tracks. But this sword is solid so it shouldnt hurt it. This sword is definately worth the price. Buy it.

sturdy, nicely made for the price... better then some of the others i got on amazon for over 40 bucks. nice job guys, thank you!

Seeing as I'm Japanese, I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend, to extend cultural ideas, and she loves it! Actually her whole family was trying to get me to buy them one now!
This is a DISPLAY piece. Don't be disappointed if you go chop a tree and your sword breaks in half.
The engraving on the sheath and blade are also nice touches, and the included stand is nice too!

This sword is a good sword i may also say i love the work of art on this is fantastic.But the only flaw with this sword is that the tip of the sword is only pointy part on the sword thats it.Its not that good for cutting though unless you get a professional to sharpion the sides or blade for you so it can cut great but otherwise it doesnt cut great.I still yet have to try more cuting test to see if its good.I rate this a 4/5.
