Beautiful scabbard
When i recived these blades the box it came in was beautiful and the weapons were already sharp and polished. But the scabbards were the best part for me. They are so good and the laccord wood can't be shown in just pictures. Every time I look at them they become more and more pretty looking. I would highly recommend a shinwa sword to any blade collector or martial arts practitioner or if your both like me XD. The blades are great steel and the construction is well done and battle ready. When I practice with them I can really tell how deadly and effective these are. Unlike other collective pieces I have

Gorgeous
Gotta agree with the other Clint. These swords are beautiful. The damascus blades are fantastic and super sharp. All the fittings are tight and there's no rattle anywhere. The swords fit quite snugly in the scabbards, which are also beautiful. Highly recommended.

Its alright.
From other comments I expected them to be bery sharp but they could barely even dent the cardboard box they came in, other than that they look and feel nice, they are lighter than expected tho.

my opinion
i 100% agree with him , they are such beautiful and functional works of art, i give thanks for the artisans and designers of SHINWA, keep working hard, living up to expectations, and making Damascus blades true beyond and deeper than the false but pretty damascus blade prints.

very nice set
This sword set is impressive; it's very sharp and has a blood fillet with a real hammon. The picture is a little dark compared to what arrived. The scabbards are maroon (you can see the wood grain through the finish), not ox-blood and the blade is silver, not black damascus steel. The inlaid dragon is exquisite. The stand is lined with velvet where the swords sit and they come in a Japanese inspired cloth covered cardboard box that's a keeper. These are as close to battle-ready you can get for the price and are real show-pieces. I couldn't be happier.
