YONG XIN SWORD-Samurai Katana Sword,1060/1095 Carbon Steel,Full Tang,Sharp

I once had an authentic WWII katana (the blade dated to the 1700s). I gave it as a gift to a deserving person, but ever since, I have been looking for a real katana. If you're reading this review, you already know the world is full of poorly designed and manufactured katanas. Anything priced under several hundred dollars looked embarassingly cheap. This katana caught my eye because the design is elegant and simple, which are qualities found in better examples. I had given hopes of getting a decent-looking blade, but the photos of this one looked clean, sharp, and very similar to my genuine katana. I read the reviews and was impressed with what people said after seeing the real sword. I decided to risk this insanely low price and return the item if it was fraudulent junk. It arrived yesterday and I have to say this is a lovingly made piece. I know that may be a surprising thing to say, but the tradition with real katanas is they are the pride of whoever made them. A maker's integrity as a human being could be judged by examining one of the swords they made. This item has a low cost, but the integrity is very high. Carefully chosen and assembled materials. Attention to detail. Good (no great) quality materials. In other words, well worth two or three times what I paid. I cannot judge the quality of the blade. If you want assurance of that, shop for a katana in the $3,000 to $10,000 range. But this blade matches the curvature, edging, and general appearance of my original one. Some said their sword arrived unsharpened, but this is keen and unblemished. I wanted a real katana at a reasonable price. This exceeded my hopes in both respects.

Amazing quality. Oiled and extremely sharp. Solid construction and gorgeous. These guys know how to make an amazing blade at a great price. Highly recommended if you want a show piece or a functional and GREAT sword to practice with or whatever.

This is an attractive, well made, functional sword. It is as described. It is sharp as well. There was some edge rolling when I first received it. This was probably due to handling in the assembly process. A couple of strokes on crossed ceramic sticks fixed that easily. Now it will shave. I have only one complaint. The hamon is wire brushed on. I hope you will decide to leave that out. A plain, heat treated blade would be far more preferable. I have seen complaints that it's not Damascus. It is Damascus, but has not been acid etched. That's fine by me. Overall, I'm very pleased with this sword. The seller is first rate. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you know what to expect.

Absolutely beautiful katana. Dangerously sharp and the weight is just right. It feels great in my hand as well. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the blade does have a warp in it. It's not bad but it is noticeable when the blade is extended in from of you. Probably won't effect the functionality of it but it is noticable

I'm editing my original review because this company redeemed themselves fully. My original blade had a defect, and within a day and a half of me posting a review about it, they contacted me and offered up a full replacement, and WOW. This blade is absolutely beautiful. It's well crafted, sharp as hell, well balanced, and complete eye-candy. They knocked it out of the park. Plus, their customer service is beyond amazing. I will recommend them for anyone interested in a katana blade like this. I'm extremely happy with this outcome. Amazing company with an amazing product. Thank you so much!

I stand corrected I HIGHLY recommend this sword. the first one I received had a few tiny problems nothing extremely marjor but still even with those minor problems the sword overall was put together very solid and felt awesome looked great as well I did a review on this the first time and gave them a one star simplely because the blade had a very tiny bent tip on it hard to see unless you look close anyways I left the review and immediately they got back to me and said they were very sorry about the sword and they assured me that a new one would be at my door free of charge yes they are awesome and the second sword I received was perfect and extremely sharp very solid and its just perfect I love it I RECOMMEND THIS SWORD AGAIN AGAIN AND AGAIN not many actually reach out to the buyers but they did and I received this new one in like a week super fast this is a quality katana for the price and if you are looking to buy one stop right here and GET THIS SWORD THEY ARE BUILT GREAT. THANKS FOR THE KATANA!!!!

I am very pleased. Very good quality for the price .. this is no toy . Very sharp !
