Solid, utilitarian blade
By wahwahpup
The blade fits tightly in the scabbard, no rattle, the fittings appear to be a non-magnetic alloy (blackened brass, perhaps), but everything from the sword collar and hand guard down through the handle is solid, maybe a touch overbuilt as far as thickness, but the fullers, or grooves (which are also well carved/executed), help its balance and make it sing. The handle wrapping is done in the proper alternating pattern, something all to rare in budget katana-style swords; the scabbard also has an alloy end cap, reinforcing the 'yanone' or arrowhead theme of the sword's fittings. The polish is satin and plain, good for hiding scratches from fibrous cutting media, and the long tip is counterpolished. Overall, a good choice for someone's 'first' or 'only' katana, or as a user/spare/surrogate for a more expensive or cherished blade.

By Ryan
It comes fairly sharp with a nice black wood scabbord. Its a little on the heavy side but very durable. After heat treatment rockwell of 65 on 1055 steel. The warrior series is not polished so it is probably not for display. You can watch the torchure test on youtube. If you are like me and can't spend an fortune on a katana and still want a quality sword that you can use whenever you want and will hold an edge you wont be dissappointed.

By T-bone
A beast of a sword. Has a natural feel when cutting. The weight of the sword does the work, putting power behind it is optional.Traditional katana collectors may be put off by the lack of a hamon. But don't be fooled. A hamon is not necessary with the purity and heat treatment of the modern steel. It will resist chipping better than a traditional katana as well as take more abuse from flexing pressure. Hamons have disadvantages as well and should not be there if the the reasons for having them are non-existent.Great overall sword.
