MURASAME Katana Sword 41" T10 Steel Clay Tempered Razor Sharp Blade Full Tang Handmade

The first thing I noticed when it arrived was how well it was packaged. It was very secure. Removing it from its silk wrapping, I was immediately impressed. It looked great, and felt very solid. It felt substantial as well, but not overly heavy. There is a lot of attention to detail in this blade, and it is scary sharp. Everything is tight as can be, and the grip feels awesome in the hand. I know enough about blades in general to know when I see something nice, and for the money, this is an amazing Katana. I would happily purchase it again. In fact, I like it so much that I bought their Wakizashi as well. To me, the value of an item is the sum of it's quality, features, and price. Using this formula, I can say that I am extremely pleased with both swords, and if you are looking for something in this price range, Murasame is the way to go.

I can't say enough about this katana. It arrived in super-secure packaging and was in flawless condition. The fit and finish far exceeded my expectations: the blade was very sharp, straight and had a mirror finish with no waves, scratches or sharpening marks. The tsuba and other fittings were beautiful and tightly locked in place. The saya (scabbard) was finished and outfitted with precision. Everything was exactly as pictured on the Amazon web page. On top of this, the sword is fully functional as well as an impressive display piece. I will definitely buy from Murasame again. How they can deliver a sword like this for the cost of a large kitchen knife is a wonder. This is one of the best products I've ever purchased on Amazon. If you want a replica katana and don't have $4,000 to spend, this is your ticket. Highly recommended.

Great looking and seems to be a well built sword. Tight secure fittings, sharp, looks great Also the sword was delivered extremely fast.

I bought this sword mostly for self defense, quality, and to pass it on to my son. Hopefully it never will see action. I was looking for a quality sword that didn't hurt my pocket too much. At $165.00, this sword did not disappoint at all, and I highly recommend this sword. This sword looks and feels like a much more expensive sword, because the quality is truly of a more expensive sword. It is a full tang sword with a genuine hamon across the blade, and all the traditional wrappings on the handle. The handles are held together by wooden dowels, which is correct. The blade has been hardened, and it is very clear that the blade was given 100% attention. I would not dare to use this sword for practice, as I do not want to damage it. But, I did a simple paper cut test, and the blade is razor sharp! It cut paper effortlessly. It is not on the level of cutting silk as it flies in the air, but this is definitely sharp enough, and it impressed me. Handling this sword kept me very aware that I was holding a true weapon. My grade for the blade: A+ (Blade was flawless, made very well, great balance, sharp, and has a genuine hamon. The Yakiba, the hard part of the blade is just wide enough to have an efficient cutting edge, and has great coverage throughout the entire length of the blade. The blade is not polished to a mirror, but that was expected. For this reason, this genuine full tang blade gets a perfect score.) My grade for the handle itself: A+ (Genuine high quality ray skin, and is so high quality that I initially mistook it to be a high quality faux ray skin. I thought "this is too good to be real". To ensure the accuracy of my review, I decided to take a chance and I did the red-hot needle test to poke the ray scales, and the ray skin did not at all react. It was firm and hard, as genuine ray skin should be.) The lacing on the handle is tight & well done. Nice Menuki ornament that was tightly held in place by the wrapping as it should be.) My grade for the Tsuba/Guard: A- (Has nice details, good quality, but the edge all around the guard has some light sign of machining and is not as finished as it could be. If you took super fine sand paper to it, you can smooth off the grind marks, and it'll be amazing. Expect to spend a couple of minutes doing this if you are fussy.) My grade for the Habaki/Ferrule: B+ (Solid, but could tell it was somewhat hastily sanded, as all sides are not 100% equal. Quick shaping work from a mass production scenario. If the workers slowed down a little bit and took more care, it would be A+ Honestly, this is not a big mark against the sword. Just nitpicking here.) I suppose you could take the Habaki off and sand it off so it's equal then polish it and put it back on if you're bent on absolute perfection. My grade for the Kashira/Pommel: A+ (I was pleased to see the nice detail of the handle cap. It is tied very tightly against the butt of the handle, as it should be. In a situation of an emergency, I would be confident to use the Kashira as a head butting weapon.) My grade for the Saya/scabbard: B- (Solid, wooden, nice laces. But, the mouth of the saya was not 100% finished. No brass protection. If you looked down the hole, you could see glue and imperfections. On the surface, there was one small area where the veneer was somewhat rough from a knot in the veneer sticking out somewhat. I was a little bit disappointed that they overlooked this. This is the biggest mark against this set. But, personally, I bought the set mostly for the sword itself. My grade for the weight, feel and handling: B+ (I am a big man and am stronger than most men. This sword feels just perfect for me, but might be slightly on the heavy side for a small person. The balance is there, and very close to a $1,000 Samurai sword. I am honestly impressed.) It is my observation of the particular sword that I received-- All the parts were made of good quality material. The blade itself really is what is the most impressive thing about this entire sword/scabbard combo. It is my gut instinct that the person that makes the blade is a skilled metallurgist, but the person that shaped the ferrule was unskilled labor, and probably shaped as many as 10 ferrules per minute or something like that, on an assembly line. And that's why the ferrule isn't as perfect as it could be. The sword was assembled by somebody that has good skill. The ferrule is my only true complaint about the whole sword. Overall grade for the sword for the price: A+ (If it was priced at $300, I still would give it A+. It will drop to A- once the price reaches $500.) Based on Amazon Shipping Quote, the shipping was quoted to take 4-5 weeks, a quote which disappointed me initially. But, they surprised me and I got it within 3 weeks! Fast shipping direct from China! Thank you!!!

Excellent quality and super sharp. Worth the buy!

I have 13 Katanas of various price points, including several 3-4 times more expensive, but they all pale in comparison. The attention to detail, quality of craftsmanship and striking beauty of this sword/sheath is beyond what was expected. I can honestly say if I could only pick one katana to keep out of my collection, this would be it. While the craftsmanship is obvious, the English tag has to be the comedic icing on the cake, as it reads....Do not use it for children and do not conduct violent tests... Haha! A+ to the sword smith.

El producto está muy bien, bien presentado y protegido. Esta conforme a las indicaciones. El proveedor estuvo pendiente de que lo recibieramos bien. El problema fue con el servicio de mensajería de Paquete Express quien nos quedó mal en tres veces de intento de entrega pero al final si lo recibimos. Es un buen producto.

Super buena calidad. Se nota que las hacen con cariño y cuidado. Viene con su estuche de tela y un cepillo y aceite par su cuidado. A mi novio le encantó.

Honestly . I've looked everywhere for decent katanas at a good price and murasame is amazing for what it is . This sword is absolutely stunning and legit . 100% recommend and , i will buy other from murasame . Thank you so much !

Quality of steel and manufacture is much better than I ever could have hoped.!! Definitely recommend this seller !
