Nice! I bet you can't wait to have it right? :D In fact, I understand it if you wanted to cut something. I remember when I was you're age and I got my first katana. Full tang to. The first thing I did was test it's sharpness on a watermelon, the blade went through it like a hot knife through butter. 8) Do you get it imported? And what would be it's price then? Would it be full tang? On that note, is it real or is it for decoration? :)

Indeed, cant wait :D (first i had to convince my parents that i wont go on a murder spree with it, haha xD)
And yea, i probs will test it on something 2 :P
I will get it imported, in the Netherlands there isnt really a wide range of choise - and the prices are wayy higher aswell :)
Yea, it will be full tang :)
I will use it for decoration, though i (ofcource) did want a sharp one :P

I really wish you would pay for sword fighting lessons instead of looking like a douche and just dropping it all on a sword you can't even use correctly.

It's one thing to tell your friends you have a katana, it's entirely another to tell them you actually know a sword style.

here goes my 2 cents .....

Is this a new trend ? like the pokemon thing when you guys were 8 but this time you are 18+ ?

i feel like i'm missing something here . why would anyone buy a sword anyway . not to mention wasting a lot of money over it but the fact that no one will use it .

well.. no way this thing will make you look cooler unless you guys walk the streets with the sword on your back , lol .

& pleahheeaase i don't want anyone saying "it's their money they can w/e they want with it" speech . unless you are the japanese guy who's making these swords you can't complain about me advising those guys .

There are a lot of ways to earn your parents respect & trust with money at a young age if you know what i mean .

not everyone sees only the usefulness of things.. life would be pretty boring.. it's like saying why would you customize your desktop? why not just leave a blank wallpaper? why not 1$ shoes, they're just shoes.. why a $75,000 car? it's only to drive..
why a 700$ sword? so i can stare it and feel all cool inside, then from time to time i can pick it up and feel mighty. that's why. noob :P

exactly.

And at Ash :) Its not for me to look "cooler" or anything.
And what makes you think that i would even need to earn my parents respect and trust with money ? saying such things makes no sence at all if you dont know me or my parents :)
Im sure you have things in your home that you dont "use" all the time / could have been cheaper - but you wanted it to be nice, and were willing to pay more.
Its basicly decoration - maybe i dont want to hang some silly painting on my wall, and i'dd rather have something like this ?
There are people paying way more for a baseball with an autograph on it ;) and mannnyyy other useless things.
And yea - it IS my money, why would i not spend it on what i want to spend it on ?

It was actually lost around 1600-1700, but it's still better and stronger than Carbon Steel. And it also looks way nicer I think. The Picture does not do justice. The actual sword is so Nice. I don't want to buy another Damascus though, because I'm to scared to screw it up lol. Musashi Swords have a good rep for being very durable and keeping their Edge, that's why I'll go for them Next.

That's Nice =] How much is that going for? And what Grade is the Steel?
I found another one I'm looking at

Nuh

Real samurai swords were banned lightyears ago. Now all they make is cheapo knockoff jobs usually made in Tawain. Theres 700$ knockoff jobs and theres $50 knockoff jobs. You cant fight with em either, or chop at things, it dings up the end of the blade.

They make hardened steal ones (cost fortune) that you can bang together and they will ding/chip LESS than others, but still

a) knockoff
b) not real samurai sword
