The quality is really something appreciated in person and for the price point it is way less than one worth thousands. The metal, from what I looked into, is one of the finest metals you can get in a sword without paying thousands. I did research other retailers for something comparable and the asking price was still 5-8 times more than the price of this one. I really appreciated the detail that went into it from the real hamon on the blade to the etched cherry blossom toward the handle. I chose this particular model over the other that the seller offers because of the sheath. I like the natural wood look and I did my best to capture it in these pictures. It’s smooth and well made, not something you’d get splinters from while unsheathing or something you’d also expect to break easily. I did cut up some fruit, a watermelon and couple of pumpkins. It cut through the fruit without much exertion on my end. I took it to a large pumpkin and while it didn’t cut all the way through it gashed it down the middle, which would do much harm to a person. With that in mind, this is a REAL WEAPON. It kept its edge while I sliced the fruit, treat this like a real weapon. My original intention of purchasing this was curiosity and recent intrigue into swords, so I wasn’t expecting much. Don’t let the price fool you, this is meant to be treated like a weapon. I like the overall length of this sword. It’s a smaller sword so it is a tanto, but it fits nicely in my hand without too much weight and can be carried around easily or concealed in a bag. I live in a state where I can legally carry this around, so I keep it tucked in between my passenger seat when I take it out of the house. Otherwise, it stays locked in the safe with the other weapons so please treat this with care as you would a firearm. I tried to take note of the attention to detail in the handle, where the thread is tied, the bamboo pegs and the detail of the fish skin or ray skin. It is all nicely done and not at all fake like other swords I’ve purchased. It comes packaged tightly and nice in styrofoam in a box, while the sword itself is kept in a cloth with a nice pattern on it. No damages at all to the sword during transit and I keep it oiled and in the sock provided when I’m not showing it off. If you are at all interested in swords or Japanese/Samurai culture, I think you will appreciate this sword. If you think the cost is too high, I would first buy it and appreciate it in person, because other swords of different lengths, metals, styles I’ve seen and purchased don’t come close to how awesome this one is. For half the cost, I bought a sword that was really for cosplay, and for an equivalent cost I found one lacking much of the detail this one has. Even a katana with a similar steel that I paid three tines as much for couldn’t touch the detail that went into this one. I will be following this seller for future purchases as I can honestly say I got more worth than what I paid for, which is extremely rare these days. The black rubber bands you see do not come with the sword, I added this. They’re called ranger bands and I put them on anything I might carry around. Review: A high-quality pleasant surprise - Not a novice, I know a thing or two about metallurgy, sword blades and quality vs garbage. At this price point I am pleasantly surprised. This Tanto is much better quality than I expected. Very sharp, tight fit and finish. Genuine Ray skin and silk wrapped handle. I have a $300 Tanto by a known brand which has a lesser quality steel blade. Well done Shinken! ## Features - [TRADITIONAL BLADE CRAFT] Hand forged T10 steel with clay tempering creating a distinct natural hamon line.

I did run into a problem in that I did receive a chip on blade that I do not how it happened. I was only using as an art piece. It did not receive any hard use!! **Q: On the Tanto Sword Burlywood model B09MT93SJ7: What black lacquer emblem is on the white part of the saya? Fish, lion, dragon, flower, etc?** A: May I ask if you are inquiring about the menuki? The menuki is a dragon pattern. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute best quality for what you pay. *by F***6 on March 19, 2023* After reviewing and researching different types of swords and what Amazon has to offer it came down to this one being my first purchase.
