40" Japanese Ninja Grass Cutter Katana Chokuto Sword

THIS SWORD IS GORGEOUS! i got it today.. two hours ago actually! its everything that was in the description. wood scabbord, fits the blade perfect. two tone blade looks beautiful gleaming in the light. when i got it and took it out of the sheath, the sword had a little oil on it, and there was some waxy residue on it, but it didnt matter at all, a cloth took care of it. that residue appears on the blade each time you unsheath it, so if thats gunna bother you, deal with it. the sword is sturdy, has the uchiha symbol on both sides of the handle. the handle fits perfect in my hands, and the blade is actually as straight as an arrow! the tip is Very sharp, but the edge not so much. it does the job, passed the paper test and cuts carboard like " a hot knife through butter". ( i hate cliches!) overall, a very beautiful sword with a elegant glossy look to it. awesome, love it, BUY IT! its my first sword off of amazon, and surely not my last!

Honestly I didn't expect much being that this sword was under 40 dollars USD. I don't expect to battle any ninjas soon but I am a huge fan of the anime and thought it would make a nice display piece. But BOY was I wrong in thinking this couldn't easily make a home defense weapon. It will not cut skin if you slide the blade across it but could pierce the skin if thrust forward and could be sharpened to slice. Yes the sheath is made of wood and the paint does come off but it is not too noticeable and without heavy use (battle wise, lol) it should be perfectly fine. Seriously if you're a fan of Naruto this is a great collectors item for the price. I am not sure if it is full tang but I can tell you it is very sturdy. Plus it looks pretty badass.

So for the price and the speed in which it comes it's a great sword. But there are some definite problems that leave it at 3 stars.ProsIt's a frickin sword. It's Sasuke's sword from the manga and just holding it feels cool. It's a great weight and size and actually feels pretty sturdy overall.ConsFirst of all the decal is on one side of the sword. The other side is completely white. Also, after being sheathed a few times, the paint around the hilt of the sword and mouth of the scabbard has started to chip. The inside of the scabbard is made of a wood that flakes and gets all over the blade of the sword every time you take out the blade (this is honestly not that big of a deal but it happens). Also if you're looking for a sharp sword then you've come to the wrong place. This edge is blunt. Doesn't look blunt but the only way you're cutting something is through brute force alone. This is honestly good news for me because I plan on Halloweening with the sword so the duller the better.All in all, happy with the purchase for the price. If you're just looking for a basic display/cosplay sword to have then this is great and does the job.

For less than $25, this replica sword is a steal. While it is not accurate to the original model in the anime, the black and white color scheme is still graceful and appealling. It is a good display piece that adds nicely to any collection.However, it is just that- a DISPLAY PIECE. It is a prop; never designed to do anything but look good. The low price tag should be proof of that.Why is it a display piece?For starters, it is not full tang. That means that the steel of the blade does not extend into the handle. You can feel this when you hold the sword. It isn't balanced and feels heavy on the front end with no weight in your palm. This makes swinging it around feel awkward; as if the blade is going to fly out of your hand at any moment.This fact makes the sword rather unstable, raising a major safety concern. If you were to try hitting something, there's the chance that the blade could dislodge and fall from the handle, hurting the user or someone else. The blade is "factory" sharpened. That means it's about as sharp as the average axe blade. Not sharp enough to cut on contact, but sharp enough to cut with some force behind it. Also, the tip of the blade IS sharp enough to pierce soft objects with ease, adding further danger. This actually makes it more dangerous than a proper sword, because a proper sword wouldn't fall apart on you.The "hardwood" handle and case is really just some kind of composite wood. It dents easily and the paint also chips off of it easily.The blade itself is stainless 440 grade steel, the same grade used in some kinds of kitchen cutlery, which is a good thing. It's also quite sturdy and won't bend, chip, or become damaged easily.Visually, the sword looks good. It's ideal for just sitting there on display. But it's also a really good solution for people who want a prop while they are cosplaying. It's inexpensive and good enough for posing.That being said, it IS NOT A CHILD'S TOY. Even though the quality is no where near that of a properly made sword, it is still a sharpened blade that CAN and WILL hurt someone if misused.It IS NOT A REAL SWORD EITHER. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to use it like it is a real sword. It can fall apart on you and you can seriously injure yourself or anyone around you.If you handle it with care and treat it with respect, you will not regret buying it.

The is a great blade. The color scheme may not be the actual scheme from the show, but the black line on white looks gorgeous. The paint on mine is virtually flawless with only a few stray lines on the black line. The red fan is a nice touch to the hilt. The line between the hilt and sheath is seamless and even up close looks solid. The blade does rattle in the sheath a bit but it is pretty snug at the hilt. The two-tone colored blade gives it a nice look.I haven't tried to slice anything with this blade but it does come dull. The only sharp part is the tip. Many people recommend you don't actively use this blade to cut anything with. It is a replica and is made to be presented. I would recommend this to any blade collector. It is a great homage to the blade in Naruto and will make the friends of yours who like Naruto jealous. Great piece for the price.

The media could not be loaded. Will not come out of the box sharp you will have to hand sharpen it or go to a company to do it, but it’s possible because it’s all steel and not fake foam or whatever
