Sasuke Shirasaya Anime Katana Animation Samurai Sword Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the fourth sword I have now. It's not a bad sword either. It's not the best of the four but for the price it's really nice. I bought it based on how it looks and not for functionality or because I'm a Naruto fan. It's not a battle ready sword for sure as I'm sure if you hit something with it full blast the handle would probably shattter to pieces considering what it's made of. It's either plywood or particle board and I'm leaning toward the latter. It's purely a show piece or a cosplay prop and nothing more. I've seen a few episodes of Naruto and while I liked the show I'm not a die hard fan so that is not why I bought it. No, I got it for the looks alone. It does look nice even though the paint job is not too great on one side of the sword. The black line is janky and the red symbol on the handle is rough as well. The symbol is on both sides on mine. I'm pretty sure the paint will chip off easily as well if given the chance. They should have painted a clear coat on the whole thing to protect it a little. The sword is quite lite weight as well. But for the price all these complaints are minor and to wrap this up I can say that I would recomend it overall.
Now for some messurements.
39" with sword in sheath.
36 1/2" sword on its own.
29 1/2" sheath on its own.
27" blade (black and no 'China' or anything anywhere on it)
9 1/2" handle (enough for both of my hands)
Check out the pictures I added.
