Its a good Katana
"When I got this sword I was ecstatic. It is a very beautiful blade and very well put together, and there is no rattle in the hilt. However, the only problem i have with this blade is when I cut a small 16 oz plastic bottle of water in half with it. The cut was successful however once i looked at the blade afterwards i noticed to nicks in it. Still, its a very excellent sword overall (I guess I`m going to sharpen it now). Still, I would recommend this as a somewhat functional sword. Just be careful with it, it is very sharp out of the box. I had plans to make this part of my bug out bag but now im not so sure."
