Remember to keep the sword away from water and avoid exposing it to wet or direct sunlight areas to prevent rust. Exercise caution due to the blade's sharpness, and never point it towards people or animals. When cleaning the blade, wipe it in a direction away from yourself, taking care to handle it safely. Review: Just buy it. It's a perfect first katana that isn't from Chinatown for $8. - Being poor, but also a weapon loving nerd, this product was attractive to me. Upon arrival I noticed the nice sheath, the oiled up blade and the sharpness. I immediately went outside with it and slashed through a watermelon and the box it came in. It sliced nicely. Here is what all buyer's should be aware of: 1. The blade is full tang and of a decent steel. It comes sharp but not "cut a man in half with one slice sharp." Upon sharpening it I noticed that it was very easy to sharpen because of the type of steel and the blade shape. This is not an incredibly hard steel like some of my $400 blades that I bought when I wasn't poor, but it is hard enough for basic play. I sharpened it with a ceramic knife sharpener and it peeled off steel very quickly. That means this is great for cutting watermelons and playing real life fruit ninja but not great for hitting against other swords or armor. I currently have it scary sharp. 2. The balance isn't quite where I'd want it. It balances a bit farther up the blade than I consider ideal, but I'm no Samurai, so what do I know. Perhaps a longer, heavier haft would have made that better. 3. The blade is the perfect length and I'm 6'4" so unless you're name is Shaq or Sephiroth you won't need a longer blade length. 4. The brass looking piece that connects between the handle and blade seems a little cheap and says it's made in China. Buy some glue if it flies off at some point. 5. The handle feels nice and could be a bit longer but certainly is satisfactory. It isn't legendary quality but definitely surprised me in how good it feels and I believe that under light use, it will hold up just fine. Don't smack things with the handle, don't light it on fire, don't regularly soak it in swamp water, and don't fight walls 8 hours a day and the handle should be okay. 6. It came quickly, was secured with Styrofoam inside its sheath. The sheath was pretty good and the sword sits snugly within, requiring a slight tug to remove. I love it and the price made me skeptical but it exceeded expectations. Just buy it. You will feel like a bad ass, have a nice decoration, feel more secure with the knowledge that you could cut an intruder in half after a little sharpening, and you'll definitely be able to make your neighbors uncomfortable as you live your sword wielding fantasies. Review: * - Hello all. This is a thorough review for this sword. I bought this sword around a year ago and I still have it. I've decided to come back to give a thorough review for anyone considering this product. I'll say; it is a good sword for the price. Yes this is NOT a nihonto f"ú-{"f meaning it is not of true origin from Japan with authentic components. Nether less this sword is a great starter for anyone who is studying Kenjutsu or even Ninjutsu who is ready for a 'live blade'^*f j. The blade in my opinion is not sharp... some people say "OH WOW OMG, its razor sharp!!! O_O!!!!" But razor sharp in my opinion means you can cut yourself and not notice it till feeling something wet slide down your skin through the hair of your legs or arm. Here is a break down of the sword....

All in all this sword is OK for the money Its good for a present...cossplay....display...or a new beginner to seek his or her form. If you are looking at this sword and you have experience with martial arts and you want a real blade I personally would get a better more expensive sword or wait if you simply don't have the funds thus looking at this. Thank you all for considering my review upon your purchase if you do! ^ê"Nã 1 YEAR LATER review... I've had this sword now for about a years time; now I would like to include pictures and also address all the problems I have run into with this sword, so new buyers can get a more thorough idea of what 'might' happen to them in the future. The ito has completely been shifted and is a pain to grip so I simply took it off... Upon taking the ito off I was able to observe the menuki and the fuchi as well. The menuki is ok nothing special but both fuchi easily came off I looked inside and there was old rotten glue keeping it together. The same-kawa is fake with panels. The tsuba has also began to rust. After the sword is completely re-assembled, I noticed with the factory mekugi that the tsuka is loose...to fix this problem I created my own d.i.y seppa. Other than these small problems there is nothing else to report...There are more problems however I myself created them by being careless such as rust spots from not cleaning it often. I do enjoy this sword and I have done months/days/and long hours worth of research and I think for the price this sword is the way to go. *I can not review the sharpess of the blade because I do not perform tameshigiri, I practice shinkenndo and iai but no tameshigiri.* ## Features - Handmade Full Tang Battle Ready Sword - Blade is made from high quality carbon steel (28.25") - Features decorative hamon and bo-hi for audible feed back while swung - The quality of this katana is very good and is well-balanced, perfect for practice and demonstration. - 38.75" Total length ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07SWHQD3Z | | Best Sellers Rank | #766,973 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #1,499 in Martial Arts Swords | | Blade Length | 28.95 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Material Type | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Ace Martial Arts Supply | | Brand Name | Ace Martial Arts Supply | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,429 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Included Components | sword with a bag | | Item Dimensions L x W | 40"L x 4"W | | Item Type Name | swords | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Ace Martial Arts Supply | | Product Style | Musashi Ring Tusba- Brown | | Style | Musashi Ring Tusba- Brown | | Warranty Description | 30 Days | ## Product Details - **Blade Length:** 28.95 Inches - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** Ace Martial Arts Supply - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Style:** Musashi Ring Tusba- Brown ## Images ![Handmade Carbon Steel Japanese Katana, Daito Samurai Katana Sharp Sword- Battle Ready - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618oI8VV2BL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just buy it.

I wanted a solidly-made, sharp, carbon steel katana for display, iaido, and light cutting - and I didn't want to spend several hundred dollars on a Hanwei or other higher-quality blade right now. The only reason I took a chance on this sword was the other nine positive reviews. I'm really glad I did. For the price, the quality is very good. The sword is solid, no vibration, no distortion in the blade. It's definitely sharp enough to cut for practice or self-defense. I like the deep bo-hi - wasn't expecting that. The wrappings are beautifully done and the crane tsuba is pretty as well as functional. My one gripe is that the sword is somewhat loose in the saya along the length of the blade, and it rattles while being moved. A little annoying, but at the cost, I can't complain. Overall, good product. P.S. - Adding this several months after buying. I finally did some backyard water-bottle cutting with this, first time I've tried that after seeing others on Youtube. This blade went through individual bottles like they weren't there. Very impressive, especially since I'm sure my technique was lousy. If only tameshigiri mats weren't so expensive . . . ## Frequently Bought Together - Ace Martial Arts Supply Handmade Carbon Steel Japanese Katana, Daito Samurai Katana Sharp Sword- Battle Ready - Ten Ryu MA-2SD Two-Tier Sword Stand, Black Lacquer Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/138297782-handmade-carbon-steel-japanese-katana-daito-samurai-katana-sharp-sword](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/138297782-handmade-carbon-steel-japanese-katana-daito-samurai-katana-sharp-sword) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
