## Description

desertcart.com : Shinwa Colossus Yoru Handmade Odachi/Giant Samurai Sword - Exclusive | Hand Forged Black Damascus Steel; Genuine Ray Skin; Dragon Tsuba - Functional, Full Tang, Battle Ready - 60" : Martial Arts Swords : Sports & Outdoors

Review: What an absolute unit - Let me start off by saying that I practice kendo, kenjutsu, and Iaido, and own quite a few katanas, including a cheaper shinwa katana. For the price, I figured it cant be too bad, I mean the 70 dollar shinwa katana I own came pretty sharp, wasnt too heavy, was well balanced, and the handle fittings weren't loose. Imagine my surprise when I removed this sword from its cloth carry bag and felt the weight and balance of it, and the immense joy, and perhaps some arousal when I drew the blade for the first time. This sword is a beauty, the damascus pattern is beautiful, the balance is very nice, the blade is straight and aligned with the handle, and all the handle fittings were nice and tight. The only wear I've seen on it so far is the handle wrappings loosening with use, which has even happened on my most expensive katana, and like every katana that is used to some extent, it became a little looser in the Saya. Two things to note though, for anyone shorter than about 5'10", it may be literally impossible to draw and sheathe at the hip, even I have trouble with it at 6'1" using a slightly exaggerated Iaido draw. The second is that this sword has two Bo-hi (or blood grooves) and a small false edge, so it is significantly lighter than it could be, which I'm extremely grateful for after using this beast during classes.
Review: Beautiful - This is nigh the center piece for my sword collection the only reason it is not is because the sheath is rather plain. However, what the sheath does have going for it is that it is very sturdy and does not easily scratch. I have no damage to the blade nor the sheath through two moves in the last couple of years. Great product keep up the good work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it clay tempered?**
A: I believe so. Mine has held up to hours of training, then cleanings afterward.

**Q: How long is the blade and hilt of this sword? Is it full tang?**
A: Will am not sure how long it is but am 6'3 and it all most at my shoulder yes is full tang I have pulled it apart myself

**Q: How long is it overall?**
A: 60" overall length

**Q: What kind of steel? High carbon?**
A: It's definitely Damascus with a 1025 carbon. Now, I'm not 100% sure if yours would be. Mine, requires cleaning every time I practice with it. And that's daily. Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is TRUE Shinwa Steel, the best NAGAMAKI on the market
*by D***E on August 18, 2021*

** TO THOSE BUYING THIS EBONY VARIANT - The blade may come without colors as prominent as the display photographs, but they are still there. ** Usually I am extremely skeptical of steel labeled with Shinwa on it, but this is true to it's claim. Despite being made in Shinwa's Chinese forges, this is a fully Japanese craft, made by hand and not machine stamped at all. Swinging this monster of a weapon once used by the guards of the daimyos long ago, the nagamaki's torque demands respect and strength. It's weight is perfectly balanced, as well, for the entire weapon shares the heft of a katana. This is an imposing masterpiece for a steal, do NOT pass it up if you are on the fence.
