siwodeHandmade Full Tang Sharp Sword, Alloy Monkey Peach Tsuba Japanese Ninja Samurai Katana (High Carbon Steel 1060) Bo-Hi 40-Inch

My first sword arrived with a broken sheath but it was replaced without a problem. The sheath is made of a lightweight wood and does not feel all that durable. It didn't survive the first shipment despite a thick styrofoam case. The orange speckled metallic finish looks good from afar (or mounted high on a wall) but up close, it looks a little plastic-y and cheap. I wouldn't go to war with this sheath but it's fine for display purposes.The sheath is a mild disappointment but the sword itself is impressive. The handle is crafted elegantly with an artistic grip pattern. The guard is all-metal with a nice design. The blade is shiny, straight, sharp, and intimidating. I am no sword expert but this looks like a fine sword to my eye and hand.

I got this siwode Handmade Full Tang Sharp Sword, Alloy Monkey Peach Tsuba Japanese Ninja Samurai Katana (High Carbon Steel 1060) Bo-Hi 40-Inch in today and opened it immediately and it’s a beautiful sword.First it’s just awesome. It’s packaged very well in a nice box and is in between to thick pieces of styrofoam. I love that it’s hand made with a full tang. A full tang is a absolute must for any sword or knife. It’s 40 inch long and comes with a sheath. The sheath is good quality and looks great. You can definitely tell work was put into both the sword and the sheath. The sword is very sharp but it’s not razor sharp but it will still cut you so be careful handling it. The sword has good weight to it and is very solid.This is made with high carbon steal not stainless steal. Stainless steal is worthless when it comes to making real swords because it becomes brittle after about 12 inches. Carbon steal is a must when making real swords that you could actually use.These 3 main types1045- if made right can be good but is considered the weaker of the 31060- is considered by sword excepts as the best because it’s durable and can also hold a edge1095- very durable but may not hold as sharp of a edge as the othersAll these are good but this sword is made with the 1060 high carbon steel witch is what I was hunting for.The pictures I shared if you look closely at the blade there’s still sword oil on it that I hadn’t wiped off yet so the blade isn’t smudged it’s the oil. I didn’t read the book it came with til after I took the pictures.Overall this is a great katana, very high quality and looks great as well. Perfect for killing zombies during the apocalypse.I very highly recommend this

I would give this sword 10 STARS if I could. I purchased another Katana sword over 4 years ago. It was 1080 steel, which is slightly better, but didn’t have a fuller like this one, and also had a slight warp in the blade. This one is dead straight. I paid $370 for that blade and this one beats it in every way.I have tested it on multiple jugs of water and large fruits it cuts effortlessly! Almost like nothing was there. It had very little drag.
