Decorative piece
It's a very beautiful sword, good piece to add to your collection. I have a rope tied to my tree and I tried to cut it with the sword butt it just bounced off and the sword felt like it wasn't meant for cutting, what stabbing will get the job done. I want to get a rubber stopper from a cane or a crutch or something and put it at the bottom of this and take it with me whenever I go walking in the woods or something self defense at its finest

Good sword
Got the sword came with a nice edge on it. I had left a comment on it but I'm not seeing it. The sword is printed I learned this when I accidentally scratched the blade rather than seeing the Damascus pattern I saw plain steel. Other than that it's a keeper.

Very Nice
beautiful blade color ration, light weight and sharp. small knick at tip on one side, should be able to stone it out.

Wonderful, well balanced, sings in the air. It is not a full double edged sword which I find appealing. This double edge holds true to the ideal of accuracy while not hindering you or your sword. This is a sword for speed.
The only thing I could feel mentioning that if you buy this sword, know that it is light make. The handle I am watching for integrity a blade like this in a stronger fasting is exactly what I am looking for. over all a 5 out of 5, 9/10

This is probably the best sword I've ordered off of crosswords. Even though it wasn't completely double edged, I loved the look of
look of th damascus steel.

Very Nice Sword
This sword is what I have come to expect from Shinwa Swords. Very well made as well as beautiful. Mr. greywolfe is of course wrong about the patterns in the blade this is what Damascus steel looks like. And for Mr. Riddle the description is not a double edge but a double edge tip, or what we call an edge and a quarter. With all that said no matter which Shinwa sword you buy your getting a good sturdy fully functional sword that is indeed full tang. You can not always use reviews to know the truth about any sword or knife, just use common sense. Thank You. Daniel of Nebraska.

Calling this a double edged sword is a bit of a stretch as it only has about 5 inches of sharpened blade on the back. I don't know if this is the style or not but I was not happy as I expected both sides to be sharpened from tip to habaki. Given that the second side is really too thick up the blade to try and easily sharpen it, I think that is the best it will get. Knowing that, I probably wouldn't have bought it but now that I did, at a discount, I'll probably keep it. But I probably won't buy another 'double edged' Nodachi style unless I can confirm it is sharp the length of both sides. Ignoring the second side, the first is sharp and the sword is balanced well enough. It can be used as a katana might be used but not like a fully double edged blade.

not what it claims to be
very disappointing. this sword as described sounded amazing. I have the single sided black demascus already. This sword is not a full double sided sword. it just has the tip sharpened on both sides. Also the claim of a blood groove down the length of the blade? there is noo bloodgroove at all! So now I have 2 of the same sword basically just one has the tip sharpened on both sides. So disappointed. Wish I got the sword that was described. Get the steel version. it actually has all these features
