HonshuBoshin Double Edge Sword | 40 13/16" Overall | 30 1/2" 1060 High Carbon Steel Blade | Textured TPR Handle | Wooden Scabbard

This is a great sword. I love the handle and length of the sword. The weight to me is perfect, some may say it's too heavy, but I say it's just right. It came very sharp. I hacked up some fruits. I sliced a huge orange and apple both with one strike. The polish and shine are awesome. Has a little snag when almost fully inserted into its scabbard, but nothin to sweat about. Overall, I love it so much It made me order the Boshin Katana and a couple of sword display stands for my living room.

Beautiful, quality and sharp sword.

The reviews were good and I was looking for a nice sturdy sword I could use around the house (I trim my hedges with a samurai sword). Straight out of the box i loved this thing. Yeah, it's a bit heavy, and I think that's awesome. Yeah, it's a bit tight in the scabbard, and that's great too. I've never cared for how easy a samurai sword comes out of the sheath. This thing feels like it means business and yes, it came sharp. It's not as sharp as it's gonna be after I work on it, but it's shipped ready to go. Would recomend.

Really a beautiful sword but. Too long for me

I was very surprised by how well quality this sword is and it makes for such a cool decoration hung on my wall

Has a great feel in hand, a bit heavier than I expected & weight is centered in handle it seems, but the grip is wonderful. Only complaint is that the the scabbard is tight

The design is low key pretty decent. I like being able to make cuts on the reverse swings, but not enough to overcome the drawbacks. No curve in the blade takes away from power strikes. The Tsuba is useless. The pommel is great, very Dooku like and it works perfectly. The grip is nice. Not as capable one handed as one would hope. It gains some of the versatility of a bastard sword but loses all the best parts of a katana. 5/10 wouldn't recommend. Would like to see a redesign made from better steel. Like T10. Just go buy a Murasami sword.

I purchased this sword for my son‘s 26th birthday. I just wanted to get him one cool thing that he would never buy for himself. Plus , admittedly, I wanted to play with it myself.It seems to be worth much more than I paid. It’s not a stamped piece of junk that you might get at a Renaissance fair. It’s like a real sword the handle is solid in the pommel is kind of wicked. The blade is very nice.Do you really need a sword like this? Yes I think you do. You can’t beat the price for what you get. If you have young nieces and nephews and enough disposable income, I would suggest you buy one for each of them. Nothing says you’re the cool uncle more than a gift like this. Your sister/sister-in-law, may not appreciate it but they probably don’t care for much of anything that you do, so go for it.
