Vulcan Gear Classic Handmade Sharp Japanese Katana Samurai Sword with Scabbard and Single Sword Wood Stand - Choose You Handle (Tsuba) Style

Good quality, sturdy, it wasn't very sharp so I had someone sharpen it, but I do like my swords to be very sharp, for the price this is a must have, mine did come with the stand, very beautiful sword, 10/10 would recommend 🙌

Lovely little prop and wall decoration. The blade is centered, handle is cleanly wrapped, and the blade comes pre-waxed to protect it. You WILL have pieces of wood from the sheath making the blade dirty. Expect this. The sheath is otherwise lacquered clean with no visible blemishes.The only faults I've seen can be noted in my pictures as follows:-wooden peg noticeable on handle and protrudes out slightly farther than handle itself-scuffs on metal. Similar minor scuffs on blade.-for those that care, the word "CHINA" has been machined into the blade.All still at a better price (and supposedly better metal) than what you would pay for stainless steel props at novelty stores.Do not expect this to be fully functional despite the material. (The technical reasons are much too long to list). The tl;dr version is that material is not even half of the story. How that metal is machined/heated/handled is far more important than the material itself.

Well there I was sleeping and something woke me up...5 min later a knock on the door, guess whom, yes delivery man...and with the sword...extremely early, I'm surprised by this and I'm all excited, I open it up and there it is covered up in a nice little clothe bag. And to my surprise it came with a display stand (wish I had known that ahead of time lol). So I take it out the the bag and began to inspect, beautiful looking so far, then the pegs that hold the blade in the hilt, they look...hastened, if you get what I mean...it sticks out a bit more than I expected and this is on both sides (gonna have to grind it down a bit). So moving on, I inspect the blade itself. It looks well made, pretty sharp. I have 2 issues with this part. 1 The word CHINA is etched into the blade....why the blade! 2 The blade to hilt is...angled...look to picture to understand.The whole sword together is heavy in hand but that just means it's a decent to good make.Pros.Well madeFull tangArrived unbelievably fast(...for me that is)Comes with a nice little display standComes in a clothe bag to protect from scratchingCons (on my sword)Pegs the hold the blade in the hilt stick out a bit to muchHilt to blade is angled (see picture)"CHINA" etched into the blade

 Came in earlier than expected! The katana came in sharp, heavily oiled, with a bag and a stand.Everything was okay and it is definitely full tang the only problem was the “china” insignia on the blade but im still satisfied with my purchase.

For the price I expected much less. It is nice looking and very strong sword. I'm not going to run around the yard trying to cut down trees, but it is solid enough to cut with.

I am really impressed with this sword. I gave it five stars not because the sword itself is a five-star sword, but rather that you get such a product for only $40. Now granted, I have not done any sort of cutting tests with the blade and you can tell that there were some corners cut with the production process, but seriously what would your normal expectations be for $40? It is a quality item for a low price. Like some others have mentioned, I have bought stainless steel sword-like-objects that were much more than this carbon steel, full tang katana. I don't know about the blades tempering or hardening, so I am guessing that is where the difference lies between this sword and the high end ones as well as the more costly fittings. Bottom line, for what most people would want a sword for, this is an unbelievable deal. Just don't swing it at anything harder than cardboard and you should be fine.

Had too much sword wax on it, but the quality of the blade was very good despite the "China" stamp on it. The tsuba design is very cool. The balance with handle is very good.

Ok I had some doubt about this katana. Mostly due to the low price. But I am impressed. It's preformed better than swords I've paid much more for. Do yourself a favor and buy this katana. Mine came with a stand too.
