An EXCELLENT Sword!
A beautiful "real" Damascus, large, strong and heavy full tang sword! I was very impressed with it when I recieved it. The images shown fall very short to its actual beauty and function! I couldn't be happier. So much so that I've even purchased it's sister sword the Black Knight! I highly recommend their purchase. Truly worth every penny!!!

Not fake Damascus its real
I don't know what the reviewer below received, but what I received was a well crafted sword made of beautiful Damascus steel. Well crafted and honestly, mesmerizing to look at. This sword is not the showpiece of my collection, but it is a wonderfully crafted piece of steel that is a step up from many other brands. Shinwa in my opinion makes good quality swords for the price point. Do not be afraid to pull the trigger on this one, especially if you can get it on promo/sale. I 1000% recommend

I got this today. It was like Christmas. I opened the box, to find a beautiful display box inside. I opened the display box to find the sword wrapped in a black bag. The anticipation was driving me crazy. I took the sword out of the bag and found a very beautifully crafted sword. The edges weren't razor sharp, but i can fix that. overall the sword is beautiful. It has a nice weight to it. I feel it is a Great sword for the price. no problems with this sword at all. i love it.

Fake damascus
I bought this sword a couple months ago and was surprised at what I found. The sword had plenty of glue at where the blade entered the handle, and sawdust regularly gets stuck on the blade from the scabbard. It also isn't real damascus steel, just a coating made to look like one. The blade is a bit weak and when put against my 1942 U.S. sword it was easily chipped. The box is cheap and it is easy for the fabric on the inside to slip and for the styrofoam to come out. You can also clearly see the wood of the handle because the cord wrapping doesn't cover it. It seems weird to me too that almost every review here has 5/5 stars, even the ones where they only say that it is terrible. This review is 1/5.

Absolutely love this sword, its easily the favorite of my collection. If I absolutely have to find a complaint, its that i dont like the box it comes with, but to be honest its not that bad; it just gives it an older Asian feel. Its not a bad thing, it just looks out of place. But the blade itself was perfect! Super sharp on both sides, and i love the color! I dont have a problem with the square guard, not sure how it would hurt you really. And the scabbard is pretty nice as well. It does have weight to it from the full tang and it is real Damascus! I own several Damascus products and this is by far my favorite, totally worth it!

Great blade, strong and heavy,good scabbard,,also the handle is well wrapped. I just wish that this blade came with a smooth, rounded guard. The square guard has sharp corners that hurt.
