Handmade Japanese Katana 3-Piece Set with Display Stand, Carbon Steel Samurai Sword,Japanese Iaido Katana Four Colors to Choose from

5/5 For the price and appearance, these are absolutely unbeatable for what they were meant to be.I got the satin black with the white dragons. I wanted a little bit of oomph and color more than the pure black, but a bit subdued over the high gloss. They are gorgeous.Now if I were to rate them on authenticity, combat use, or anything like that then they would lose a couple of stars, but this is 3 swords for around half the price of a single low end authentic styled combat ready piece. These are half functional, which is better than some wall hangers, I'm told they do have a full length tang though it tapers off, so they should be good for some light use. Definitely not an authentically assembled tsuka (handle), but it's not something you notice right away until you pick it up and realize how wrong it is (it's just a metal grip wrapped with the tsuka ito, but there's no rayskin/faux rayskin, no menuki/charms, no wood grips, no separate kashira/endcap).What cons I do have. Not particularly sharp, definitely not as sharp as others have said, probably can be sharpened I may get around to it at some point, again wall hangers so it's not a high importance factor. Very tight in the saya (sheath/scabbard), the Wakizashi took me a few tries and some serious ugga duggas to get it out. I think they're mostly just hanging up at the mouth and I might take a narrow file to that area and open it up a little bit more.

Very nice and the blades are sharp. The stand is just a bonus it holds the swords well and makes them accessible but nicely put away

They are sharp, don't touch the blade unless you have katana oil/cleaner.

The design of the sword cases are beautiful. For the price the fact that you get three weapons and the holding stand is a steal. The heaviness of the weapons are quality. However, the sharpness is lack luster. I have it mainly for decoration, but if there was ever a need to protect my house I thought it wouldn't hurt to have them. Overall I love the feel and am still glad I purchase the items.

Was very pleased with item, I think the price was excellent.

Love em

I'm writing this review just to remind us of the dangers of having weapons in our house. These swords are lethal weapons and should be treated as such, they were not made to play 'Samurai Games'. These swords are heavy enough to cut through bone. They come well oiled in the sheath. About the sharpness they will have to be sharp enough to cut through bone. They weren't forged to cut tree limbs or paper ( I read from others reviewers). The craftsmanship is worthy of praise (for the price) also the seller mentioned "The handles are held by screws" meaning if you use it to cut tree branches they could brake off or come loose. Safety before fun. Thanks for reading

These are really cool. They are not sharp but they do look sharp. They seem pretty durable. I haven't used them for anything other than to look at and take in and out of the case. They have a thick oily substance on them when you pull them out of the case, which is probably needed so they slide in and out.
