It is not a Katana. Its a Ninjat' (ninja sword). Quality is pretty good though. Very sharp, no loose parts like other swords that I have purchased. Not exactly what I was looking for but for the price and craftsmanship that I got, not a bad deal. If it were a Katana I'd give it a full five stars, but since I got the next best thing that I've wanted and at an unbeatable price, I'll give it a four.

This may have been called a katana but it is, in fact, a Ninja-to. Not a typical fan of Stainless steel versus Carbon yet the weight and balance of the tool is in good response to handling it. The leather wasn't necessary even though it was a plus for gripping the tool.

This thing is solid as tank. It might even be more solid, but I haven't a tank to compare it to.

I read the reviews and thought for the price it would be nice to have a hedge trimming sword around, i was wrong. This blade is not the 27 3/4 inches as stated but only round 20 inches, it shakes in the scabbard and doesn't even fit in all the way. Not to mention the return label is for budk, and if anyone does research you will find out that there goods r cheap because they are damaged or rejected by the main co. for some reason. Also the blade is pressed and pretty dull, so no forging here. It doesn't even seem to be full tang, so if you do get it, don't use it, it's only a decorative piece and not even that good of one. Just don't buy, if you want cheap nut quality look into masahiro, or musashi.

you can tell just by looking at it that it is not a katana, its a ninjato ( the guard is square shaped, unlike the katana that has a round guard, the square guard was used by ninjas as a stepping platform to scale walls) but aside from it being misnamed, it is a very good sword, and for such a cheap price, it is a definite buy.

This is an incredible buy for the money. Saw same sword in a local store for a 100 bucks. Was a good buy for that price. For 25 dollars it is a steal.

Just got this sword and when I pulled it out, I was suprised with the quality. For 37 bucks I was expecting a joke but the sword really feels sturdy and looks nice. I've never owned a katana before but I would say this is well worth the money.

I have bought two "functional" swords over the last few months, this one for about 25 and another for about 60. The 60 dollar sword is 1045 carbon steel and for whatever reason the sharp edge chips and dulls very easily after very little use. It is also slightly shaky near the guard of the sword when swinging.

This 25 dollar stainless steel sword, after much more use, has hardly dulled at all and has no chips. It is also very solid feeling and swings without any shakiness to it. The sword fits tightly in the scabbard near the guard, but the blade moves around up and down more than I would like towards the middle and end when sheathed. The leather ribbon design on it is also not adhered very well and tears away easily.

Overall the actual sword, minus the scabbard, is very nice and worth a 5 star rating considering the quality and price.

the sword is awsome came on time and every thing, the only problem was i cut my leg off when using it...just kidding but seriosly it is sharp im only fifteen and i can tell when this should only be used on trees ,bamboo,and pratice dummys.the ones for swords of coures.
