Dream2Reality Cosplay Samurai Champloo Mugen Typhoon Swell Replica Sword T10 Clay Tempered High Carbon Steel Full Handmade Full Tang Katana

I bought the $500 one and let me tell you that it is worth every penny. Not only is the blade high quality but also the sheath and hilt. The only issue is that the material on the inside of the sheath came off a bit after it arrived so it may need some cleaning upon arrival. Also the shoulder strap doesn't really stay on properly and kind of goes horizontal when you put it on. All in all i am really happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone (blade and/or anime fanatic) to buy from this seller. Also be very careful when opening, It's very sharp and i almost cut myself trying to open it. The blade also came way sooner than expected, like 2 months early, so that's also a plus.

WOW! I was stunned by the blade quality. True hamon that is just beautiful to look at. Hands down, the best sword I will probably own just for the simple fact that this is a true, real Katana no matter the fact it's design came from an anime. This sword is absolutely ruthless, no flaws whatsoever. If your looking for a battle ready blade with some insane personality, then this is it. The T10clay tempered version is what I bought and I am here to promise you that it is money well spent for a sword of this caliber. VERY impressed, it shall not disappoint any educated sword aficionado who is looking for the 'flashy' yet battle capable weapon.

Received a week after the last estimated delivery date. The scabbard is really flimsy, the rings used to tie the straps are some kind of weak plastic and are breaking off. This is not the sword from the picture. The one advertised has a groove straight down the center of the blade like a saber; staying more true to the series. The one I received is a regular Katana blade with the Tsuka(handle) from the series. Good quality blade, sharp with good weight; just not the one advertised.

Overall, this is an awesome blade. It helps that I can now gladly say that I have a functional version of Mugen's Typhoon Swell. The blade is very sturdy from what I've seen so far, and it comes decently sharp. I wouldn't call it razor sharp, but it'll definitely slice through plenty. The edge geometry is very nice, so sharpening it isn't an issue. It's held a decent edge through my tests, though it could definitely use some maintenance. The construction overall is very solid, and the blade has yet to loosen even a bit. I really love the clay temper, as the hamon is nice and defined, and it's also very beautiful. It fits pretty tightly in the sheath, which is nice. I have far too many swords that will drop from their scabbards if I so much as pick them up wrong.I have to say, though, the guard fitting is a bit loose. I can move the guard a couple of millimeters just with my hand. Unfortunately, my guard also came a bit crooked on one side. It isn't exactly noticeable unless you're looking for it, but I figured it was worth mentioning. Having said that, though, I don't blame them. A guard like that one can be difficult to shape and fit properly. The polish is also a tad uneven in a few small spots. Again, not particularly noticeable unless you're looking for it, but I always look for these things for the sake of review.Overall, I am quite satisfied with the product I received. It's fun to have, it's fun to use, and it's immensely better than any other anime-based sword I've seen in person. This is no cheap wall-hanger. It's a battle-ready beast. I hope to purchase some of Dream2Reality's other blades in the future.

Got the cheapest one. Looks awesome quality is OK but for 50 bucks its a sweet pickup.
