A truly unique sword creation, the Zetsurin from Musashi screams for attention! While it is not a traditional design, it is using traditional manufacturing techniques and comes fully functional. The razor sharp carbon steel blade is ready for cutting use out of the box, and the tight nylon wrap ensures a good grip. Dual bamboo pegs secure the blade within the handle, and the scabbard is fitted with a removable throwing knife. Two tone painted designs and patterns throughout, includes a black carry and storage bag.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Decisions Comment: well. this certainly seems like a great sword. however, I'm having trouble deciding wether to buy this sword or the blanched scimitar on strongblade.com. bother are beautiful weapons but i just dont which is cooler. Customer Rating: Summary: Absolutely Beautiful Comment: One of the most unique and beautiful swords I have seen for sale. I love the white cord wrapped around the handle and the lack of a tsuba(hand guard) really makes it stand out. The scabbard contains a small knife called a kozuka, which is basically a letter opener(no really, I'm serious). The blade is extremely sharp and looks exquisite when cleaned. I can't really think of anything negative about this sword, just buy it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great affordable sharp sword. Comment: This is my first katana. I carefully reviewed around 50 before chosing this one, carbon steel, low price, durability of the blade, and style of wood, hilt were main considerations important to me.
I feel very satisfied now.
Any parents out there buying for children, this is not a toy. Its a sharp weapon, the real deal.
I watched a video of this cutting through large bamboo and stuff easily. Which any young one might severly wound themself or someone else, even cutting off a limb.
Con: The detachable throwing blade sucks sorta, except maybe as a letter opener.
