Cold Steel Warrior Series Katana Samurai Sword with Ray Skin Handle, Black Lacquered Wood Scabbard, Black Braid Cord and Brass Menuki, O Katana

The sword is incredible, scabbard is fair, but hard to ding it for that. Cuts like a dream, light for me and im 5'6. I adore the sword and i can honestly say that it may be the strongest and best sword i have ever bought.No law ever written, is as deadly as Cold Steel.

Very amazing sword, love the quality of it, but it’s very heavy and definitely requires a lot more muscle to swing it and keep control of it but very well built before its price very sharp and is a longer version of it so it’s an amazing sword

Purchased the O-Katana. Excellent quality.

It's nice and worth the value.Don't pay attention to any dumbos here that mention height, as in if you are shorter it's too much blade for you!!It's not height that's matters at all its strength specifically wrist and arm. Last I checked the guys winning arm wrestling contests weren't all 6'5".Anyway it is cool but very heavy so I think it's great for training and I was a pro trainer focusing on size and strength so if you buy this you better start working your hand strength and I mean all your digits as well and full forearms. But you'll need strength everywhere. I would add the exact weight if I knew it.Comes sharp not extra sharp, and much less than razor which is not needed for a sword extra would be nice though but I bought knowing this.Sure if you are that Battista guy from Guardians of the Galaxy probably you're all set with all the strength reqs. But one of those bony actors that are 6 ft will insure themselves for sure playing with this sword.I'm happy with it.

Disappointed with the condition of the product. I took it out of the box to find the cap on the end of the saya (scabbard) to have fallen off and into the box. Blade itself seems fine however

You need to have this thing in your hands to fully appreciate its size and beauty. I was filled with worry, the entire week it took from when I ordered it to when it arrived on my doorstep. I will address a few of the common complaints that I've seen.1. Too heavy- absolutely not. No, it's not light, but it's not like OMG I won't be able to swing this thing at full force heavy. Honestly I think a lot of people are just weak. I have very average strength, and I have no complaints.2. Too long- No, it's exactly how long it's supposed to be. Samurai didn't really carry blades of this length on their person like they would a standard size. Rather, they would have one of their "foot soldiers" (slaves) carry it for them, and help them draw it too. If you're expecting to be able to draw this thing swiftly from your waist, you're missing the point. This is a battle field weapon.3. Off balance- sure, it's blade heavy, but not in a way that's unsettling, or will affect your ability to cut down your opponent.Also, all the fittings came nice and tight. No rust, scratches, dull spots on the blade. This blade is sold by a 3rd party vendor and if you look up reviews on them, you would not feel very confident. But I will assure you this vendor has really cleaned up their act.Very impressed!

Its worth about 250

love it,love it, a best katana i ever bough...5 stars...
