27" Ninja Sword Full Tang Machete Musashi Style Tsuba (Blue)

It has very nice balance to it, without u feeling like your going to fall over. The color is a very nice dark/hunter green to it, looks very nice when the sun is reflecting against it.

I've collected swords for decades. As a reenacter and a martial artist, I am fully aware of what qualifies as a good weapon. This is.... an ok weapon. 440 steel is hardly ideal for combat. But, 440 has changed over the years and modern 440 has more carbon and is sturdier than when I firrst started collecting. The entire weapon is one solid piece of steel and it's got a nice thickness. The blade is also sharper than other reveiws lead me to expect.For the price, less than $30, this is an excellent blade. It's nicely balanced and feels good in the hand. You can put some force behind it. I would feel secure using this sword in a defense situation. It's also very very pretty. I can see the paint may chip or peel but I think it's would be very easy to repaint it with rustolium.I'd say this is an excellent purchase. I'm very happy with it.
