Full Tang Katana 1060/1095/9260 Steel Handmade Forged

This is truly a work of art, true master craftsmanship. It's exactly what you see being advertised. Came packaged very secure and received in two days. The blue blade is beautiful as well as sharp. See my video for full review.

This Wakizashi arrived straight and sharpened. Initially everything is solid and well put together - no rattle, no wobble.The No-Bohi blade is 20.5 inches long (from the Tsuba) and 7mm thick at the Habaki, to 3.7mm at the Kisaki - this distal taper keeps the point of balance closer to your hand.Most Wakizashi builders do not implement this feature.The Tsuka handle is 8.25 inches long.None of the Tsuka handle hardware draws a magnet, but the tang does until the last 1.8 inches of handle.The Kochira pommel isn't in a picture, but it's that relatively common "S" shaped dragon design - lots of sword builders prefer to use it.I prefer it over most other options.I like this Dragon Tsuba more than I probably should. It has become popular with a few other sword builders lately - DeJiang uses it on one of their popular swords.This katana also arrived inside of a short, inexpensive sword bag.I had kept an eye on this advertisement for more than a year before I finally ordered one. There's something peculiar about the fake-looking pictures that just didn't look quite right, and the price still hasn't fluctuated over the past few years..But it truly is just as nice looking in person as it appears in these product pictures.This Wakizashi arrived inside of a clamshell style box, held in place by 6 (U-shaped) pieces of Styrofoam.The smell of Choji oil hits immediately after opening the box, which is a significant improvement over the typical reek of machine oil, and this really does improve the katana receiving experience.Besides the free sword bag, the handle was shrink wrapped and the blade wore a thin plastic sleeve that helps keep the Choji oil from evaporating.This truly is the most brilliant way to present a katana, and this is a pretty clear reason why the Original Katana Swords company has so much return business - straight, sharpened swords with an emphasis put on enhancing the receiving experience for the buyer.Also, the nondescript Amazon delivery box was much appreciated.Recommendation: Yes, I am quite pleased with mine. Even just that "improved receiving experience," was plenty enough reason to consider buying any OKS katana.Other sword sellers should take note of this simple and effective detail..

Do you really need a cool Martial arts sword that is as practical as beautiful??? Well, you need more than one!!! Soooo cool!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I bought my first one 5 years ago for over $500.00 and these are just as good!!! It’s just too good of a price point, you want to stop at one but what if you need another color? For the price of my first one, I can have 5 different Awesome ones!!! I’m buying all the women in my family one, no mercy for any intruders!!!

Would I want to take this into battle? Probably not.Would I want to use it to cut ACTUAL objects...maybe. Would depend entirely on said objects.Would I expect it to have a long lifespan if I DID choose to hit things with it? Nope, but in an emergency, against some rabid "dog" or other violent idiot, it might be good enough.Sharp? ISH. Not a razor, but it would make it fairly easy to cut SOME objects, especially if you were swinging it with enthusiasm.Damascus? NOT! Or at least not in the way I would expect ANYTHING that said DAMASCUS on it to be. There is one very small, perhaps 3 inch by 3/4 inch section on ONE SIDE of the blade that has a little bit of visible pattern. Maybe if they had actually acid etched it like DAMASCUS it would show more, but in the classic sense this is IN NO WAY Damascus.Am I sorry I bought it? Nope, mostly for decoration anyway, and possibly to practice kata with if I ever get that motivated again, but not terribly likely."Paint job" is quite nice though. Might even be good enough to offset the small complaints I have about the rest of the sword.

Amzing quality shipping was kinda mid but i love the product overall pretty great good for astetcic or to use like a real sword would sharpen tho

I really like the appearance of this Katana. The Twist Damascus blade is quite stunning and very sharp. The tsuka and Sageo are wrapped with a very distinct looking tape that really stands out. The tsuka, fuchi, and kashira are a bit overdone. Some might find it a bit gaudy what with all the gold on the fittings and Saya.Overall, the package is very attractive even if a bit overdone. The Saya is a bright black drizzled with gold paint. I find it pleasing to look at. If I had to come up with a criticism I would have to say that the fittings let it down slightly. But opinions vary and others might find it quite pleasing. The good news is that it’s very well made. Tight fitting and a very sharp blade. The transitions match up nicely. The Ito is tight, though not overly so but adequate. The red colored Samegawa is real. A real plus for me. For the price ($180) it’s hard to beat for what you get. Do I believe it’s worth it? Yes I do! (You may want to expand the pics for better viewing)

Awesome sword Awesome price it's legit and battle ready for less than 80 bucks

Actually sharp, decent quality. I’d assume for the price they’re only for decoration but looks quite nice. Very nice
