CY-sword Clay Tempered Japanese Katana Iron tsuba True Combat Readiness

I bought this sword without knowing what to expect. There were not any reviews so I took a leap of faith. I have had my katana for a week and put it through some normal tests. Cutting bottles and hard plastic.. the sword is sturdy, polished nicely, and is it ever sharp. The edge was nicely done.NOW, the only thing is the but of the handle came off slightly, but I grip it very hard. I tried a knot in the handle rope and singed the two ends together with a lighter and it's good as new. I think for the money you are paying for the blade. The blade alone is worth the money. Like I said THIS THING IS TOUGH. for 340 shipped it's what you want.
