I love how this sword looks and feels. It is strong and the blade is flexible. My only concern is that the cross guard is a bit loose. This is a small issue that can be fixed with a little rigging.

This katana is a must have item whether you are a sword collector or just a fan of 47 ronin I would highly reccomend it. I give shipping an A++ it arrived earlier than expected and was not damaged. When I opened the box i was like a kid on Christmas morning. It looked amazing and had a great weight and feel to it and it was very sharp right out of the box. The description doesn't say if it's full tang or not but I would say that it is because the pegs are placed pretty far down on the handle and it feels very sturdy and battle ready. The handle is made of real ray skin and tightly wrapped. My only minor problem with the sword is the saya or scabbard fits a little loose but it's not too noticeable especially if you are just using it for display that's why I only have 4 stars I would've given it 4.5 but u cannot rate half stars. And the saya (loose or not) is beautiful with a very nice paint job and gold cord wrap. I give this 4.5/5 stars only because I'm picky, and would reccomend this to anyone.

I am using this sword for a pirate costume and I love it. It's got a good heft to it without being overly heavy. The wood looks nice enough on its own, although I will probably be painting it for an antiqued look.

This thing is a beauty. The one I received had no rust, no marks on the leather, everything in tip-top condition. It was a gift, so some friends and I had the sheath lasered with words (so much cheaper and faster than engraving, and it looks better in my opinion). The sheath is a rough-out one and is not as nice as the sword is, but still is decent enough. If you plan on wearing it, though, you'd better be over 6'5" or buy a frog belt for it. It's a beast.

I chose this rating because I like it a lot and it goes well with my other collection. it's different and unique. I like the design on the blade but the design on the handle part could have been more visible but other than that, it's the most awesome sword. If there is any other sword collectors like me, I totally recommend buying this.

I originally bought this for my friend at work, and let me say, I was really impressed when I got the box out to wrap it! Since I work at the warehouse that shipped this to my house, it made me even more ecstatic to know we do a good enough job that it got here safe and sound. I've seen pictures of others where you can see the sets of hands, the blue streaks for the sword and all that, you can't see those unless you take this guy out of the box, though I am hoping those parts are stored in the bottom where you can't see much. But when you get the box you can see the face and hair for action poses, the sword, the shield, Link himself, and if you peer past everything in front, you can see the sword sheath in the back. I really hope this lil' guy is loved and enjoyed by my best friend at Amazon. He really loves Legend of Zelda and deserves an amazing little treat like this for being a really great dude. If you want to buy this, I'd say go for it!

Just unboxed my necklace and it seems to be of good quality it doesn't weigh much, I thought it'd be heavier. The sword is sharp and it seems to hold well. I love it, I bought it for some friends and I really hope they like it!

I am so in love with this sword. It is beautiful and the sheath is really nice, which I feel is important when buying a knife or sword. Love this company so much. I have a knife of theirs as well and am very impressed with them!

I got this as a gift from a friend of mine just last night. Needless to say, it's a beautiful sword. Sheathed, it looks amazing. The kanji on the saya (scabbard) is actually engraved on it, instead of being cheap and have it painted on. The tsuba (hand guard) is circular, and is nice and tight (on mine at least). The sageo (wrapping) on the handle is done nicely, is flush, and tight as well; not loose to the point where it easily becomes undone. The blade is very nice; has a nice gloss to it, but not too much and most importantly, it's not crooked. On mine, it's as straight as it could be from what I can tell. The blade also has some kanji written on it near the base. Overall, whether you hang this on a wall, or place it on the stand it comes with, it really is a nice touch to any room you put it in. I have other katanas in my collection and this one is being added to it, a nice addition indeed.

It looks and feels awesome, it is numbered and it is sign, however after a whole year I started to notice some brown color forming Up on the center of the sword, probably a weak spot on the metal, I don't know much about swords but it doesn't feel like rust. Not saying that the product is bad, but I just wonder what that is

this sword is very sharp the sheath is wooden and they both look very nice i accidently cut myself with it and had to get 6 stitches from touching the blade witch is very firm

Love it, looks amazing and feels good. Also great price. Looks like I slayed a dragon and am wearing it's skin (now typing that, it sounds weird but it's still awesome).

This is a very nice sword. It is shipped in a Black Cloth which was a nice touch. The blade seems smooth with no defects.
Now onto the cons
* The hilt had a small crack in it but you really don't notice
* The picture is not the exact sword i received, mine had a gloss to it, a lacquer coating, it also has a black (non removable) black tape like wrap where the sword and sheath meet. I was hopping for more of a one color down the whole thing but this is not an eye sore just not my initial want
* Lastly there is a peg ,what appears to be bamboo, in the hilt to hold the blade more securely which is a nice touch as most companies opt for metal or plain wood, however this one tends to stick out a little to far. Will i have toyed with the idea of sanding this down it would then leave exposed bamboo with out a lacquer coat.

STILL it is a great sword for the price.

No complaints. Its gorgeous. The sword looks fantastic, not a blemish on it or anything. The mount is easy to install and it hangs straight and looks just fantastic.

I really like this sword, not only is it slick looking it seems entirely functional as a tool or weapon just in case.

Mine came sharp unlike a few swords I've gotten in the past which I was pleasantly surprised with. It's nice and light enough for me to use with one hand but the handle is definitely long enough to swing with both hands.

I've cut a bottle with it so far but I plan on cutting other things like bamboo and watermelons with it in the future. So far I love it enough to give it 5 stars before I put it to the test for real.

This sword exceeded my expectations. It has a good weight and looks amazing. If you are looking for an unsharpened carbon steel practice sword I highly recommend this one.

I received this as a present and was thrilled with it, the blade looks like an accurate length the the anime/manga. It had surprising weight to it, which I liked and yes, the lever works. Its stainless steal and it isn't sharp, it's a replica, don't attempt slaying Titans with it. The only negative that I'd say it has is not being full tang making the blade shift when I barely swing it... Terrified that the blade might eject from it (not like the anime) like other replicas I've had that were not full tang...
