Etrading Handmade Kill Bill Bride's Samurai Katana Sword w/Display Stand & Cleaning Kits

Huge Tarantino fan. Saw this, and had to have it! Pretty impressed with the quality for a hundred bucks. The blade is carbon steel, and is really sharp (was easily cutting through pieces of paper). Has the Hattori Hanzo emblem etched into the base of the blade, and Hattori Hanzo written in gold lettering on the display stand in English and Japanese. Feels solid in the hand when doing sword play (no wobbles or rattles). The blade had a lot of grease on it, and had to be wiped off repeatedly after sheathing it a number of times to get all the grease off of the blade which took some time, but I'd rather the blade come greased up than not as it prevented any rusting. Comes with a traditional Japanese blade cleaning kit and blade oil. Looks absolutely stunning on display. Would definitely recommend!

This was such an amazing katana. From the moment I received the box, the box had a cool hattori Hanzo logo. The quality on everything is amazing. The stand is shiny and awesome. The cleaning kit and disassembly tool are great. And the katana is just perfect. The feel and the weight is great. I bought cheap katana's on Amazon before and this one is so much better. It's twice the thickness of a normal cheap blade. It's not flimsy at all. It's very sturdy and it also came pretty sharp. I love this katana. It's just awesome

I wavered back and forth on this one based on some of the disappointing reviews. I took a chance that I’d get one of the good ones and return if not. There are clearly multiple versions being shipped. Well on Friday the 13, I got lucky and a good one was delivered. From the moment I opened it I was like WOW! It’s absolutely beautiful. My wife, who’s used to me spending hundreds of dollars on a prop, said she did not want to know what it cost. Her jaw dropped when I said under $100. The blade Is razor sharp. I sprayed it with gun cleaner and coated it with gun oil even though it can with a kit. The black stand was much better than expected too. Love it!

I had already purchased the other less expensive, but very nice, version of this sword. But, over time, became unhappy with it (as a replica of the movie) because the saya did not closely match the one in the Kill Bill movies. I found the early one was too ornate and the gold stripe was missing.Although it was more expensive THIS sword is a Much better replica!The sword is excellent. Carbon steel instead of stainless, adds a nice weight and feel to it, and sharp. The saya is beautiful in every detail. Everything about it is high quality which makes the higher price understandable. I even kept the yellow, "Hanzo Steel," box it came in on display in my media room.The only reason I did not give a fifth star is because the stand that came with it. It's a very nice stand beautifully lacquered with felt cradles However it does not have the same "Hattori Hanzo" markings as the one in the product picture that you are probably looking at. Sadly too, as with the other sword, they never explain what the symbols on the stand mean.Comes with a nice cleaning kit and instructions.Over all I am much happier with this purchase than with the earlier, less expensive, one.

This one is a keeper, by far the nicest kill bill replica I have ever owned or even seen. Excellent craftsmanship through and through. The blade is sturdy definitely full tang with a nice edge, the etching is clean and the scabbard fits perfect and looks amazing with the piano finish. My only minor complaints are that the blade was wet and dirty which I've found is unfortunately very common when buying swords online, no big deal I wiped it off and applied choji oil and it's fine. Lastly the sageo cord was not wrapped and tied off properly, which is a minor inconvenience if you can wrap it right yourself ;) For the price I give it 5 stars all day and highly recommend it to any collector or kill bill fan.

This item is reasonably priced for the quality of the sword itself. I know when I got mine I almost felt like I could gracefully slice Japanese gangsters into mince-meat with it! The sword is absolutely authentic, so if you have any doubts, be assured now that the sword has a Ray-skin leather grip handle and sword cleaning kit too. (The stand is pretty nice too) I recommend this item to all Kill Bill fans out there who wish to further envelope themselves as a die-hard fan of the series or even to those who are looking for a cool sword to show off in their house!

I was skeptical at first because most of the bride swords I saw were double this price. However I can say it is a great replica and worth the price. You will have to clean it upon arrival, but it is exactly as advertised and came with everything stated in the description. I haven’t used it for cutting purposes since it is a display sword so I can’t attest to that. But for 100 dollars you get bang for your buck for sure. I highly recommend it. Only thing missing from this replica, and most replicas, is the gold band on the sheath. Other than that it is exact to the movie.

The thing that impressed me most about this sword was its Saya. The bright black piano lacquered finish with its various decorations really appealed to me. I was almost tempted to keep this sword to use the scabbard with another. The sword itself is what let me down. The leather Ito, although fake, looked the part as did the Sageo. More a shoestring than a Sageo. The samegawa was actually real and the fittings were not to bad. This sword had some good features about it, but the poor ones led me to return this item. I just didn’t feel that the description matched the product. I try to look for the best, but it was outweighed by the lessor features. I can’t really recommend this sword.
