I got this sword a couple months ago. I collect swords and other such items and i think that this is easily one of the best peices in my collection. The blade is not "battle sharp" as said but it is reasonably sharp and very beautiful. This scabbard is a very nic color and just as beautiful as the blade. The handle is tightly wound and a very nice length. The sword is a perfect size and weight. It is long enough to use two hands but light enough to use with one. Also the guard or tsuba depicts an image of a samurai with katana. And for 20 bucks it is amazing. Carbon steel blades usually bump the sowrd up to 50 bucks. I personally reccommend that you buy this sword now.

Some information on carbon steel... Nov 14, 2005
I just wanted to say that, to my knowledge, traditional Japanese katanas have always been forged with carbon steel and it is a malleable metal that RUSTS EASILY. That is why samurais have always kept their swords clean. If you store your carbon steel katana in a closet where it's bound to have moisture build-up, then eventually the katana will start to rust. That is why there are cleaning kits out there made especially for cleanining carbon steel katanas. And yes, like I said before, carbon steel katanas are likely to bend a little (malleable.) The malleability of carbon steel enables it to withstand more force. Carbon steel katanas can also be sharpened to be VERY SHARP (sharp enough to cut off a human head in one sweep.) Don't be fooled into buying stainless steel katanas just because stainless steel will not rust as easily, but it becomes VERY WEAK AND BRITTLE once it gets too long (over 12 inches.) Stainless steel is only suitable for kitchen knives and whatnot, but NOT for katanas. A stainless steel sword can shatter like glass under stress. As for the overall quality of the Maxam sword, hey, you get what you paid for. Don't be surprised if this katana doesn't meet your expectations...or if it rusts. I think the sword is a good deal for it's price, but hey, to each his own.

Every man needs a good sword. Sep 15, 2005
I keep this sword by the front door of my cabin. I don't believe in guns, but I do believe in protecting what's mine, so I use this sword for home defense. I got another, bigger sword in my car. Anyaway I've been training with this Maxam sword for a few months now, pretty much the whole summer. I had to tighten the blade down, as it was a bit loose whan I got it. Now though I am quite pleased with the weapon. And am totally lethal with it. Whoever tries to croos the threshhold of my home will surely lose a hand.

 Got what I paid for. Aug 02, 2005
Keep in mind; it's not an expensive sword. You don't get to check it out before you buy it. That said, for the price I was quite pleased. The blade isn't really very sharp, it's a bit wobbly in the handle, and I wasn't ecstatic with the construction of the scabbard, but overall, I think it'll be a good piece to train with. I imagine it'll do some damage if you swing it at someone (probably to the sword as well as them). From other reviews, it looks like the wobbly-factor isn't constant, and may sometimes come sharp. In fact, it may be possible to sharpen it; there is an edge, but it's not so hot. I haven't tried, myself, but it may be possible.All said, it's a good sword for the price, but if you want something really nice, you may want to hold out for one you get to check yourself, and be prepared to pay more.
