(More customer reviews)As a big fan of the Zatoichi movies, I was totally psyched to own a Zatoichi-style shikimizue (cane sword). When the sword arrived (via UPS), I was slightly underwhelmed by the quality of the piece. But for what I paid, I shouldn't have expected any better.
The blade is slightly sharpened with a nice finish. I wouldn't swing it around too much because I doubt it's a full tang blade. When sheathed, the sword looks more like a straight katana sans handguard than an actual cane. It will still make a nice ornamental piece that'll blend well with my collection of old canes and umbrellas.
My biggest problem with the quality of the item is a cheap, gold-painted piece of plastic at the very end of the blade (towards the handle) that says "CHINA" in big letters. This lame piece of plastic gives away the low-quality of the sword.
As a disclaimer to anyone who thinks this sword bares any resemblance to Zatoichi's sword, it does not. There are other, more accurate reproductions of Zatoichi's sword from both the old movies and the remake, but those will cost you at least 5 times the price of this one. Overall, a good decorative piece for the money.
