Top 8 Samurai Swords Of 2020 Reviewed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n1. Ace Martial Arts Supply Handmade Japanese Shirasaya Samurai Katana Sharp Sword-Musha<\/strong><\/h3>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.awebtoknow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/best.jpg\")
Samurai Sword Under $100<\/span><\/span>\nThis is a battle-ready katana<\/em> is made out of 1045 high carbon steel<\/em> <\/strong>with a full-tang blade. It’s a simple katana<\/em>, lacking the traditional ornate design. The tsuba<\/em> is not present and the saya<\/em> is just wood. For some, it has an attractive simplicity. Plus it performs really well when you’re practicing iaido<\/em> or your katas<\/em>. The wood is lacquered but seems to scratch easily. You do get a cotton bag for the entire sword which protects the wood. The katana is lightweight, well-balanced, and sharp out of the box (not razor-sharp, mind you).<\/p>\nThe Hamon<\/em> (blade pattern), however, is probably fake at this price. If you’re buying this for display purposes, that part is fine. However, if you plan to abuse this sword, then this will definitely wear off which lessens the blade’s aesthetic appeal.<\/p>\n![\"Ace](\"http:\/\/awebtoknow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ace-Martial-Arts-Supply-Handmade-Japanese-Shirasaya-Samurai-Katana-Sharp-Sword-Musha.jpg\" "\\"Ace")

2. Ten Ryu Captain Nathan Algren Samurai Sword with Silk-Wrapped Handle<\/strong><\/h3>\nSamurai Sword For The Money<\/span><\/span>\nThis might be a replica samurai sword of Captain Nathan Algren in the movie “The Last Samurai” but it is by no means “fake.” This sword is hand-forged out of 1060 high carbon steel<\/em><\/strong>. The blade is 28 inches long and 7mm thick. This is a full tang tachi<\/em> (which preceded the katana but quite similar). The silk-wrapped tsuka<\/em> is 10.5 inches long which should fit most individuals. It also features a tri-polished mirror finish and engraved with Japanese horimono<\/em>. There is no rattle\/wiggle when you use it. It is well balanced and the grip is excellent. It comes out of the box sharp and can be sharpened even further to become razor sharp.<\/p>\nThe tsuba<\/em> (guard) and the saya<\/em> (sheath) seem to be of less quality compared to the blade.<\/p>\n![\"Ten](\"http:\/\/awebtoknow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ten-Ryu-Captain-Nathan-Algren-Samurai-Sword-with-Silk-Wrapped-Handle.jpg\" "\\"Ten")

5. Makoto Handmade Sharp Japanese Samurai Shirasaya Katana Sword<\/strong><\/h3>\nSamurai Sword For Cutting<\/span><\/span>\nThis shirasaya katana<\/em> is elegant and beautiful in its simplicity. Made out of 1045 high carbon steel<\/em><\/strong>, the blade is full tang and 28 inches long. The length of the katana<\/em> is 38.75 inches overall. The saya<\/em> is natural wood with a high gloss finish. This works great for practicing kata<\/em>, Iaido<\/em>, or Kenjutsu<\/em>. But it’s definitely not for cutting practice or hard contact training. The tsuka<\/em> is also wood but we did notice that the grain of the saya<\/em> and the tsuka<\/em> aren’t the same, close but no cigar. It is sharp out of the box but, like with most katanas<\/em> at this price range, it’s not razor sharp. The blade fits exceptionally well into the saya<\/em>, no rattle there. There’s also no rattle when you swing the sword.<\/p>\nOne thing to take note of is that the gloss on the tsuka<\/em> and saya<\/em> makes it a bit slippery so be careful when drawing the sword.<\/p>\n![\"](\"http:\/\/awebtoknow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Makoto-Handmade-Sharp-Japanese-Samurai-Shirasaya-Katana-Sword.jpg\" "\\"")

6. Handmade Sharp Japanese Samurai Sword Musashi Wakizashi<\/strong><\/h3>\nSamurai Sword For Cutting<\/span><\/span>\nIf katanas<\/em> are not your thing, then maybe this samurai sword will be more to your liking. This is a Wakizashi<\/em>, a shorter sword used by the samurai for close-quarter fighting or for seppuku<\/em>. The full tang blade is made out of 1045 carbon steel<\/em> <\/strong>with a double ring tsuba<\/em> which looks awesome. The tsuka<\/em> is around 9.5 inches long while the blade is 20.5 inches in length. The length of the tsuka<\/em> is a bit more than what you’d find in other wakizashi<\/em> swords which may have caused some to feel as if the sword isn’t well-balanced. But it does feel good in your hand with a nice grip. The ito<\/em> and sageo<\/em> are tightly done. The menuki<\/em> and the tsuba<\/em> look really nice. The blade is decently sharp but not razor sharp.<\/p>\nThe Hamon<\/em>, like with swords at this price range, is fake. Overall, it’s a good, durable sword for the price.<\/p>\n
