This sword is certainly a force to be reckoned with. It is ridiculously sharp, so be careful. I dont much care for all that flashy stuff, so this sword in its simplicity is gorgeous. It has basic fittings and no mirror polish on the blade. Its practical, as says the name. My favorite features of this katana are the basic round tsuba and the menuki. No flash, just bite. I have an abundance of bamboo in my yard, so I use that as a cutting target, and its like warm butter to this sword. I have very little experience and I was able to cut through five 1/2" thick pieces of bamboo easily. I recommend that if you're going to cut bamboo, always clean your blade thoroughly. This sword is absolutely amazing, and at this price, you'd have to be retarded to pass this up. Also perfect for beginners. Five stars over all.
