I recently purchased the "Master Cutlery 3 Piece Marble Red Katana Sword Set" and I've never been more satisfied with a purchase. If you're someone who is looking to get a cool decorative piece to add character to your home, this is a must have, and for $33.50 it is an absolute steal.
If you're someone who has always had an eye for unique pieces, that seem out of the ordinary, but don't want to go to over the top on an expensive martial arts weapons this is the product for you. These Katanas are the ultimate conversation starters, and will stand out in any room with people constantly gazing at the beauty of these swords. The best part about this product is that you're not getting just one Katana, you're not getting two Katanas, but you in fact get three, very real, very legit Katanas.
The craftsmanship of these swords for the price that you pay is mindblowing. The steel blade is strong and durable, the handle is put together well, and the sheath that shelters the Katana is strong, and well made. If you're questioning the price, and asking yourself how on earth could these swords be that well made at that low of a price, I assure you that it'll be the best $30 you've ever spent.
My one knock on the product is with the actual stand for the Katanas. You can tell that this is the cheapest part of the product made out of pressed wood with no unique design or flare to it whatsoever but again for the price that you pay that's somewhat expected, and I don't hold it against the people at Whetstone Cutlery. You're buying this product for the Katanas not the stand, so you shouldn't hold any grudges because of it.
Now time for the million dollar question"¦ If you could go back and buy this product again, would you? The answer is 100% yes. I've always wanted something cool like Katanas to have around at my house but I've never really gotten around to it due to high prices, and overall craftsmanship, but I assure you for what you're paying this is a no brainer. You will absolutely love this product. Buy them now at this price before anything drastic happens and I guarantee you won't have any regrets, or second guesses about it.

when I first got it, I thought the stand was cheap, but I just wasn't pushing hard enough to put it together, so don't be discouraged. It's actually quite sturdy. I absolutely LOVE IT! just push as hard as you can..I may actually buy another! It's BEAUTIFUL!!

These display swords are very much a case of "you get what you pay for."

For $30 or $40, don't expect fine craftsmanship, intricate work, or a piece you'll be slicing steak with. These aren't "real" swords in the sense that they're made to be used. They're not. They're purely for display purposes.

And from that perspective, they're great. I have multiple sets and they do exactly what I want from them: they look good on the shelf. It's evident from the pieces that if you struck two of them together they'd probably break. One of them wobbles a bit in the hilt. The display stand is lightweight, cheap wood.

But for $30 or $40, they are great looking display pieces that guests enjoy picking up and handling. They look nice and don't break the budget.

That's really all I can ask from them, and as long as you're paying attention to what you're buying, that's all YOU can ask from them, too. In my opinion, for the cost they're a great value provided you know what you're buying.

Blades are thick and of a high quality as you would expect from a cutlery manufacturer. The rest of the swords are low quality as you would expect from china. Great price, so I figured they were typical scratch and dent Chinese manufacturing. They can be sharpened of course, though I'll just keep them for decoration; wouldn't want to sharpen these and swing them around just to have the blade detatch and do any damage. Great price for a decoration. Guess they could be used as a sword in a pinch. Ya know, if the Mongal hoard comes ridin over the hill.

I've purchased this product twice, because these swords are nice. I do not like the new legs on the stand. The old legs were much sturdier and could sit on any surface.
