Historically, katana (刀 or かたな) were one of the traditionally made Japanese swords (日本刀nihontō) that were used by the samurai of ancient and feudal Japan. The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands.

Well I’m rewriting my review again for some strange reasons. Apparently Amazon doesn’t like my review so all I have to say about my brand new katana. It’s awesome, and has great workmanship. And it was delivered a month early. Thanks

I've had this for a few years now and this has been the best sword I've ever owned. It will rust if left uncared for but with some gun oil once a month it stays looking like new. 10/10 would recommend for a collector.

I love this sword, it is very beautiful. It has a purple blade that can shift to a deep blue in certain light. Its definitely not what it is in the picture, as you cant see any pink, but thats what I was hoping for. The blade is sharp, but not incredibly sharp. Overall good quality and very pretty.The only thing wrong with this was that I messaged the seller twice asking for a custom order. I requested the sword have a plain black scabbard but when I received it, the scabbard was the flower design. This would have been okay if the sword were for myself, I do like the design, but it is a birthday gift for my boyfriend and flowers are not his thing.So you can ask to get it customized, as it says in the description, there's just not a guarantee it will come how you want. :/

Beautiful blade, great price. Bought my second one today, this time with a blue Damascus blade. Goin for a "Fire and Ice" kinda theme. I did ask them to change the Tsuba so it's not the standard one shown in the picture on Amazon. I also asked for extra sharpening. Both were free and shipping was much faster than expected. Blade arrived oiled and in pristine shape. Very happy with it, and the sellers customer service.

The red/black contrast is fantastic on this blade (electroplate transfer if I remember correctly, meaning the color won't scratch off). You can see the folds of the steel clearly, and it adds a distinct look. The tsuba and overall assembly is solid, although like most katanas they get notches in the blade easily with harder, more western style blades. Besides that though, the blade has a sharp edge and especially sharp tip. The scabbard is rather spartan (no end caps or anything) but the black with the red paint strokes adds a great contrast to the katana. Snug fit, but once you unsheathe it some dozen times, it will come out with a clean stroke.

Stunning sword, very well made and all parts were nice and tight. Did not have to wait months as I have on other things sent from China, I think it was around 2 weeks or so. The blade just blew me away with the folded patterns in an almost crimson coating, I mean this sword is really a beautiful thing to behold. I have already put several more swords in my wish list for a later purchase. Oh yea and it is very sharp, not razor but enough to do some serious damage to an intruder if it ever I need it for such a reason! I don't use my swords for cutting bottles and stuff but am certain this one would have no trouble doing so if you are into that sort of thing. All in all, I absolutely love this sword and highly recommend it or others Shijian makes. For a mid priced katana I think it's worth it, and am saving up for the ones on my list.
