Hi guys ive always been into everything samurai- as a kid I watched WAY too many Ninja flicks than whats good for me, then started taking up bujinkan ninjutsu a few years ago, and now Ive been wanting to start a japanese sword collection.... with a proper authentic katana. Been thinking of starting out with Musashi's feudal daimyo katana- looks a pretty peice of steel ( folded "damascus" T10 blade and a striking koshirae ) , but poking around the internet i can't find a decent review for one of these things! :? is there any reviews out there? Can anyone tell me anything about the Musashi brand, or even better, this specific sword- does it perform; can it deal with daily rigourous training at the dojo? Any advice would help us out a great deal :mrgreen: thanks!

If you like the Musashi swords, scroll down to the bottom of this page and you'll find some of their Warrior 1060 models with a custom wrap by Frank the Bunny available: cottontailcustoms.com/AboutI don't have any first hand experience with Musashi swords, but hopefully this will help you see what the model you've been looking at looks like:

Much appreciated! good job finding that video, didn't think youtube would be the best place to find katana reviews and such- i guess i couldn't be more wrong! shame the guy in the vid didnt try out a few test cuts with it though!

Dunno if it is exactly the same sword you are looking at, but here are some cuts with a Musashi Damascus katana... The guy sort of looks like Kung Fu Panda in ninja gear and talks a bit like the priest from The Princess Bride... So methinks there is some comedy value to be had from watching regardless of whether it is exactly the same model... Enjoy! :twisted: :lol:
