Last Samurai Japanese Sword-Katana Honor Comes with Free Stand

Great quality for the price the steel is actually very strirdy and could even be sharpened but the handle would probably fall apart at any major contact, cool decoration and you feel bad ass holding a Katna.

I rarely take the time to write a review but I was so impressed by this sword I wanted to take the time to do so. The sword arrived very well packaged. I have a lot of Japanese decor and was really just looking for a samurai sword to put on a shelf as a decoration so for the price I wasn't expecting much but was just hoping it looked nice (I actually didn't even really care if it came out of its scabbard). I was very pleasantly surprised. The first thing I noticed was the weight. The sword is pretty heavy and it looks and feels outstanding. It feels very sturdy. I read some other reviews about the blade not being centered etc. The one I received is perfectly centered and is not wobbly at all although I'm sure it's only intended to be displayed and I suspect if you really started whacking a tree or something with it the blade may start to come loose. The handle looks excellent. Very nicely done. The scabbard is also really beautiful and it included a really nice little matching stand. I saw in some reviews that the blade was a bit dirty and or had a little glue on it and this was in fact the case but it cleaned up nicely in minutes. I also noted in some of the answers to questions that it was said that the blade was not engraved. The sword I received is very nicely engraved with some Japanese characters. The blade is so nice with the engraving that I may even polish it up a little. It should be noted that the blade is not sharpened as this appears to be intended for display use only. The only real defect I noted was when I pulled the sword from the scabbard that the small decorative piece at the top of the scabbard came off with it because it holds the sword tight in the scabbard but I shot a little hot glue inside it and popped it back on and that resolved that little problem. Even with the two minor issues I mentioned which were simple fixes I still felt this easily deserved 5 stars.

My husband has always wanted a samurai sword collection and I didn’t know where to start. I found this sword and bought it for him for our anniversary. He loves it! The blade comes oiled so it won’t rust. It’s great quality. Has a nice weight to it. He loves the way the grip feels in his hand. Really impressed

As a budget display sword this product exceeded my expectations. The overall build looks great and doesn’t feel cheap while being held. The only complaints are with the obvious budget cuts in craftsmanship. Before I continue, please keep in mind that I’ve had this sword for about 4 years at this point. I felt compelled to write a review in light of recent events. To give some backstory, over the course of a few years I’ve taken a few practice swings in the air with the sword (even though it’s a display I like to give all of my swords some love once in a while) and I’ve never encountered any problems, however, today was different. While doing practice swings I accidentally nailed myself in the leg with the handle, not very hard mind you (barely hurt me at all). And do you know what happened? It bent the damn blade 20 degrees! A slight impact basically decommissioned the sword. I suspect that what’s holding the blade into the tsuba and tsuka is just a rat tail tang with a bunch of glue barely keeping it all together. This is fine for a display sword as it’s never meant to be used for anything besides eye candy, but seriously, this sword has no durability whatsoever. I imagine that any rough handling during the shipping process could result in it coming damaged. If you’re going to buy this then keep it on display and handle with care (don’t even do practice swings). I was lucky that my sword didn’t snap in half straight into my cranium, you may not be as lucky. 5/5 stars for display. 1/5 stars for durability.

She turned 18 12/24, with many gifts. She has told us this is her best gift in 18 years. Her Saya (scabbard) was broken but she doesn’t want to part with it to return for a new one. Called Amazon to learn item is sold out. Amazon gave me full refund for inconvenience. Ordered wood glue and will try and fix. It’s like I got my kid back, cause she’s so mature this gift made her a kid again.

Honestly a beautiful sword, the blade is quite pretty. However, please read before buying:First and foremost: I recommend buying a katana cleaning pack before buying. Even though the katana is low grade stainless steel, please make sure to clean your katana after every use and oil the katana as to prevent rust. Humidity and touching your katana blade directly with your hands will cause rust after awhile. Not maintaining a katana properly is what causes rust.Secondly: Although it is not important which way to store your katana (display it within the stand), I recommend storing the katana blade facing up. This is how I displayed it within the first picture. The blade is not sharpened, so it doesn’t really matter since you’re not worrying about dulling the blade, but it’s a more professional and respectful way to store the blade facing up. If you intend to show off this katana, this would be the right way to do so. Not too big of a deal, but storing up is also a way to prevent damage on the katana blade.Last and third (only if you’re curious): Please display the katana with the sheath on! The sheath is meant to protect the blade from the humidity levels. Again, although it’s stainless steel, it can still rust if not tended to properly!Hope this helped

I originally gave 1 star because of the mixup in delivery dates. Even though it arrived after Christmas (2 days later than expected), the sword is very nice. So, I am adding more stars, because of the sword quality. It is a very nice sword and deserves more stars! I am still upset that it did not arrive on time as promised, because this was a special gift for my nephew and he did not receive it for Christmas as planned! Amazon many items I purchase I do so because of the date of delivery. That is how I choose some items over others. You and your vendors must do better with this.
