Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Fittings are tight. Suede wrap is very grippy. Blade came paper-cutting sharp. This particular katana is on the longer side, allowing a few extra inches of reach. Mine weighs about 2lbs 13oz, a bit lighter than what they said it would be. Though due to the proportions it still balances like a regular size katana. If you're not on the taller side, say..5'10 or more, you might want to go with a bit shorter blade as you may find this cumbersome. The Eagle theme on the fittings is very cool. This is a good choice for an affordable 'beater' sword.

The Nanbochuko period in Japanese history (the later part of the 14th. century) encompassed sixty years of internal conflict in Japan, which spawned a demand for more and bigger sword blades than ever produced previously. Blades became longer and wider, sometimes to extremes (the Odachi had its genesis in this period). Named for this period, the Nanbokucho Katana is impressively sized. With a blade length of 30", a long kissaki and a weight of just under 3 lbs. it is designed for heavy targets. It is, however, surprisingly agile and nimble enough to master double cuts.
