90 USD? Wood display stand, cleaning kit, and cloth bag are included. www.ebay.com/itm/Kagemusha-1060- ... 20e5455685 Too good to be true, the hamon looks in fact real. Best regards

Probably a musashi, good for bottles and pool noodles.

I agree with Onimusha and would say "too cheap to be true." For the same price, you can get a Huawei beater - a far better sword, IMHO...

Not bad for the price.Better off going with a Jubei from swordnarmory.

Well,I see a ""beater"as being a sword that has aresilient blade able to withstand poor cutting form and allow someone to learn.Good fittings,tsuka and tsukamaki are an extra plus.Over the last couple of years its been the Tsunami.There are lots of good swords in that price range,some I have recomended and some I do not support,but that sword is the total packge at that price in that category,imo.

That's my definition of a good beater, too. Thanks for the input, John! The opinion of a (much) more experienced cutter/collector is always useful!

I just got a new atlanta cutlery catalog its a windlass steelcraft company and they have a kagemusha "crimson katana" for $134.95, it says 1060 diff hardended, musashi style tsuba, real ray skin, red cotton ito, with certificate bag and box.looks like a decent deal. Seems alot like the 1060 DH musashi swords which in my opinion are a absoulute steal there actually a nice cutter for $100...actually nice for $200...

I dragged my daughter's Kagemusha katana out of the closet to clean it. Been sitting there now for several years in its quite beautiful silk cloth and the satin lined hardwood box. Still had the certificate in the box. I was amazed to see it had a magnificent heavy full wide bohi and exquisite Damascus steel. The hamon appeared authentic as well as the ray skin Tsuka. I had gifted it to her nearly 10 years ago and she put it away for posterity. Even the latches on the box were impressive. I cannot remember what I paid for it, but I never give her anything cheap. I sure I did not know as much about Katanas back then and most likely took a chance on the purchase. Now, I see hers is probably better made than any I currently own! The serial number on hers is 011. It appears it was originally number 10 and they struck out the zero with a 1. After lightly oiling it, we put it away again. She has young children, so cannot display it openly as yet.
