everything about it was great all of my weapons were sharpend and ready for my ninjutsu training

I was very pleased with the blade more so than the other weapons it came with, they were completely unsharpened and I deem them basically worthless other than for display. But the blade is nice, very sturdy and great for 'practical use'. The habaki holds the blade in its place and in the scabbard very well. but the blade in the scabbard limits actual stealth movement because it rattles a little bit. But all in all in my ninja gear it ranks #2.  Permalink

this was all I needed, but the shurikens needed sharpening. =)  Permalink

The sword is great, the only thing bad about the buy was the shuikens they aren't sharp and sometimes won't even stick in a cardboard box. Buy this for the sword and not the other junk.  Permalink

I was very pleased to see that this item was shipped to my house several days earlier than what it was supposed to and even more pleased to see that the sword was of exceptional quality. But unfortunately, that was the only pleasing item in the set. The throwing stars are decent enough after some sharpening, but don't even try to keep them under the tsuba without being extremely frustrated with keeping them there. The mini tantos aren't that bad but they are very difficult to get in and out of their designated slots on the side of the sheath. The throwing knife is fine and dandy with some practice, but the use of the ''battle tool'' is still a mystery to me. The hidden compartment on the top of the sheath is not worth the hassle of getting the sword in cleanly without it getting caught up on the inside. Besides the all of those minor setbacks, the sword is great and exceptionally durable (Almost broke a lesser Machete clean in half and without any visible damage to the sword). Either way, for the sword... GREAT BUY.  Permalink

This is my first Ninja sword and it's great! The only thing I don't like about it is the sheeth, the bottom part that you can remove, the blade gets hung up on it, a lot. I really don't like anything besides the sword on this. But the rest of the stuff is GREAT for display. Regardless... even if you only got the sword for this price it's a great buy!  Permalink

This sword surpassed my expectations! Even though the throwing stars are a bit flimsy, it was still a great buy. I recommend this to anyone in search of a sword kit.  Permalink

I bought this starting out with minimal expectations, later finding out its secrets...i was in awe ,the blade was stainless steel and sharp( my fav.), the throwing knife was exceptionally accurate (practice boys...you'll get it).... but the only regrets i have about buying this piece of weaponry is in the shuriken and in the ''paper weight''. The shuriken are like little pieces of hardened play dough squeezed out of one of the molds ...don't even bother sharpening them, their still not worth the time and energy, and the design makes it hard to make the shuriken stay on the hand guard, as well as take them off. The last thing is that stupid piece of steel that you will find...it looks lethal...if you like flying pieces of solid steel... Overall get this beauty...its for sure a keeper!  Permalink

When i purchased this item i was very impressed when i recieved it. I was however disappointed by the fact that the throwing stars are pretty flimsy. They could not stick in targets or a cardboard box for that matter. However This is a great item to buy. Just not for shurikens!  Permalink
