(More customer reviews)The moment I lifted this sword out of the box, I knew something was wrong. It was very light as katanas go, and the shade of blue shown in the picture, (very dark blue, almost black) is not the color of the actual sword and sheath; it's more of a gaudy primary blue. Upon further inspection I discovered dried hot glue oozing out of just about every point of attachment and the hilt cap actually came off in my hand. When I drew the sword from it's sheath I was horrified to discover that the sheath is actually made of plastic! Having purchased another 24Seven sword that was absolutely beautiful (gorgeous wooden sheath, real ray skin wrap, full tang with a good heft to it), I was very disappointed. The product page doesn't tell you this but needless to say the sword isn't full tang and you can clearly see where the wrap on the hilt is glued in place. Anyone with even the most rudimentary knowledge of katanas would tell you that this sword is very cheaply made. The word "CHINA" is printed on the blade as clearly as day. What bugged me most though was the fact that the fabric underlaying the wrap on the hilt was this tacky looking, sparkly gold stuff that bore a striking resemblance to Christmas ribbon and on top of all that it was bunched up and protruding from underneath the hilt cap instead of tucked neatly underneath. Try as I might, I can't seem to fix this particular flaw. Even with the hilt cap completely off, it's impossible to tuck the fabric underneath it. Long story short, don't waste your money. Even the most skilled soul reaper would get killed trying to fight with this piece of crap.

The sword of Byakuya Kuchiki is just as cold and uncaring as Byakuya himself. From the carbon steel 26" forged blade to the distinctive hamon. Both the handle and the saego are wrapped in a beautiful deep ice-blue cotton cord matching Byakuya persona and attitude in the anime. The scabbard of this sword is also deep blue, not black.
