Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Too bad my wife had already ordered by the time the last reviewer put up his review. I too was sent the wrong sword. The hilt (sorry, I don't know the name) is wrong. The guard is not the same design and the handle has some sort of (fake?) leather wrap instead of the standard cord wrap.
It also does not even have a hamon. I know the Last Samurai has a wire brushed hamon but this sword has none.
I have no guarantee that this is even a Musashi sword. There was no certificate of authenticity with serial numbers that all other Musashi swords I have seen have. Looking at the Musashi lineup there is not even a sword that matches this one.
It came with a little "Last Samurai" movie card tied to the hilt. Seemed a little cheesy and out of place (kind of like "see, it IS the Last Samurai movie sword!"). It does blade engraving which appears to be ok. There are no Musashi branded marks that I can find (only a "China" stamp on the other side of the blade).
The presentation is nice, the construction is tight, and the blade itself appears to be carbon steel but without a certificate or any sort of specifications, I have no idea if this thing is even safe to use. The blade also had a small chip (which I could cure with sharpening if I decided to keep it).
Regardless, this is not what I ordered and its not even close to what the product picture shows. I'm going to have my wife request a return. She was so excited to get this for me so I will probably break her heart :(
I guess there is a reason this price is $20 cheaper than everywhere else.
Buyer beware.
