My personal opinion top

This modern made Japanese katana is a reproduction of the very famous Japanese swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.

This Japanese sword, the Miyamoto Musashi katana, is named after Miyamoto Musashi , probably the most famous swordmaster in Japanese history we know of. He fought more than 60 duels before retiring and writing his famous treatise on swordplay, the "Book of five rings".

This beautiful replica does have the typical long tsuka and the dubble rings tsuba. As a functional sword the Musashi works for most types of sword practice. The Tsuka is designed with Musashi’s sword style in mind, and as such it is longer than most katanas, but the sword is lightweight and extremely well balanced. Some practicioners actually prefer this style of katana for practice.

This katana's blade is forged in high carbon steel and the traditional clay tempering method was used to create a flexible yet strong blade with groove and a very nice hamonline.

This katana does come with a cleaning kit and sword bag !

Review by Michel on Sep 09, 2008
I bought this katana over 1 month ago and am very pleased with it. While it does feature a long handle, it doesn’t give me a bad feeling while using I and it must be one of the reasons why this rather long katana (daisho) has such a great balance !

The fittings are simple but they do give this sword all the honor it deserves.
I mainly bought it for Iai but already did some cuttingtest on tatami (double rolls) and no problem at all although I don’t think it would be a good choice to cut bamboo with it.

Final conclusion : great sword for this price !

Although I’m doing my very best to provide you with a lot of detailed pictures and videos where possible, I do understand your concern . So if you don’t feel comfortable with your purchase just return it. Contact me prior to returning your order. This policy does not apply on any personal made katana or customized katana.

    Living in the EU, I had to find a retailer within EU in order to avoid trouble with Customs authorities. I was lucky to find the Samurai Sword Shop, where Dave was as helpful as one can get.

    I've ordered the Practical Pro katana together with a double sword stand by Samurai Sword Shop.
    They seem to have nice people working there cos they treat you like friends. I made that up drom the mails they send me about my order. I'm sure I'll order my next katana by Samurai Sword Shop too.

Want to customize this sword ?

If this standard model is almost what you’re looking for but it need a few personal tweaks and a 100% custom katana is not an option or needed, I can always give this baby a little ‘facelift’.

Rewrapping the tsuka with the material and or color of your choice, changing fuchi & kashira , tsuba, menuki and or seppa are all possible.

A rewrap of a standard size tsuka (katana) will run around 125 euro, including cotton ito.
