Real Deal on Shinwa Katanas..

by John
(Maryland)

QUESTION: Hey I know this question has been asked a lot, but I'm looking for a very clear and upright answer. Are you basically saying that Shinwa swords (or whatever other name they may be sold under) around $150-$200 are of the same quality of some of the $60 katanas you've tested? Or possibly of lesser quality?

ANSWER: It would appear to be the case. The fact that BudK sell them really makes me wary of even trying them out...

I could be wrong, but from what my sources in the industry tell me, I don't think I am...

Kind Regards,

- Paul
