Masahiro Dragon Ninjato

I have owned this sword for three years. I almost forgot where I bought this from, but I needed to tell all how INCREDIBLE this blade is. I own 23 swords, and practice cutting traditional targets and everything in between. THIS sword plows through ANYTHING, and I mean it. I had to remove a tree in an emergency from blocking my door as it blew over in a storm. (Long Story...) And this was the 1st thing in my hand and did the job (with NO 'sets' in the blade) in less than 5 minutes. You will never be disappointed with this sword. I call it Bad News, because it's my primary home defense weapon, and anything in it's way will know the meaning deeply in a about a quarter-second. A True Weapon of War. As for the fitting and furniture; it's so-so, but I love the leather wrap; you'll need it as you wont want to put it down! All-In-All, This is SOOO above average, and the price is not at all a reflection of what you're getting. It's a small down-payment on years of reliable happiness and fearsome destruction!

Very functional. It is a little long but that's the fun of it. I've seen the same sword other places for $20-$40 more. Prompt shipping and well packaged from damage. A great buy!

This sword is awesome. It is not a classical nin-to, but thats what I like about it. The blade is perfectly made. It has a razor sharp edge. I had absolutely no problems with this blade. It has an awesome grip too. If you are looking for an awesome nin-to and don't care if it has to be the classical kind then this sword is right for you. It's sharp, it's just the right length, and of course it IS strong. What more could you want? You won't be disappointed if you buy this magnificent sword!

I like this sword alot. it is made very good however the blade is entirely too long. A traditional ninja sword has a shorter blade than the samurai sword. This blade is as long or longer than some samurai swords when I compare this sword to my Paul Chen ninja swords I see a major difference in the length. Also the ito is not wrapped traditionally. Every ninja sword and most samurai swords are wrapped with Japanese cotton not leather, it is a good idea but not accurate. I must say even though I said the blade is too long it is still a very good blade for cutting through anything and it is very sharp. Maybe in the future Masahiro will come out with a more traditional ninja sword.

the reason why i give this sword a 4 instead of a five is two reasons, 1 is the leather is a bit loose and they said it had a super sharp blade, the blade isnt dull but i rubbed my finger along the blade with pressure, it didn't peirce the skin. but enough with the negatives. The sword is strongly constructed and has a tight fit in the scabbard. the engravings on the blade are pretty cool and the dragon on the tsuba distinguishes my sword from everyone else i know who just has a plain black tsuba. I'm very impressed with shipping, i ordered it at 4pm tuesday and got it 12 afternoon friday ALL THE WAY TO FLORIDA!
