Shinwa Dark Knight Damascus Steel Katana

This has got to be the most magnificent sword I have gotten ,for my first katana this sword is by far the most beautiful thing I've purchased and for the price you will not find a finer blade just absolutely gorgeous and definitely real folded Damascus and quite sharp as well very,very pleased with this purchase!

The sword is an absolute work of art. When it arrived I didn't expect it to come in the red display case it came with for starters, giving it a safe home for it to return to when I have done my daily routines with it. Aside from that, it holds a true katana edge, unlike Honshu swords with their knife bevels. As a matter of fact I took the faux leather wrapping and decorative metal pieces from my Honshu blade's saya (sheath) and used both of them to decorate the simple and plain yet stunningly beautiful saya. This sword already has its own personality given the patterning of the damascus, which will inherently be slightly different for each blade, and I am proud to make it my own with bits from rather less impressive purchases (Honshu I'm looking at you, your blades edge is trash but at least the faux leather wrapping looks pretty and can be replicated). Anyways, tl;dr, the sword is completely worth every penny you spend on it for the quality and presentation alone, not to mention the feel of it.
