Packaging was great, protective. The sword is hefty, tight and beautiful. It's tight enough to use as a walking stick, and since swords are legal for open carry in Texas now, it's going to get a lot of use as such. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shinwa Handmade Shirasaya/Samurai Sword - Exclusive, Hand Forged Damascus Steel; Hand Lacquered Hardwood (SilkFang) - Katana Cleaning Kit - Maintenance Set with Sword Choji Oil - Care for Samurai Japanese Ninja Katanas Swords Knives - Birthday Gift for Men and Women - Stocking Stuffers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/79927174-shinwa-shirasaya-sword-color-options](https://www.desertcart.us/products/79927174-shinwa-shirasaya-sword-color-options) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
