Hey all,
Just a quick question. Are the musashi $80 differentially hardened katanas good beginner/starter katanas? Is it a good first katana?
Thanks

yes. it was my first katana, and mine wasnt even diferential it was the 59$ one. they are very utilitarian. not much to look at but they are quality and a good bang for the buck.

There is nothing structurally unsound about them. They are VERY well made for their price. So yeah, they are great starter kats.

The general consensus does seem to be that they're a quite good deal for their price point; meaning mainly that the blade is good and well-tempered. They're uniformly a little on the light side so you have to be careful cutting with the DH ones to avoid putting a set in the blade. That's not really a concern with light targets like water bottles though. You shouldn't expect too much from the rest of the sword though, ie, for $80 it's a bit much to expect silk ito and real same is what I mean. They still look good and hold up to some use, though, so it works out just fine.
