Great Sword
Really cool design, nice packaging. Seems to be very well made, the only drawback is that it needs to be sharpened.

An excellent, concise history and overview of nihonto
If you've ever been a student of Japanese history--particularly the rich military history of Japan--Stephen Turnbull will be no stranger to you. He's guided my studies on Japanese military history for the last two decades and I own more books written by Mr. Turnbull on the subject--warfare, weaponry and even lore and Japanese philosophy--than any other author by far. His knowledge of the Japanese is vast, his love for the people and culture obvious and his writing style is at once engaging and entertaining.What Turnbull brings to the table with this small volume is a brief look at perhaps Japan's most iconic object: nihonto--or the Japanese sword--in all its forms. This is a small book, to be sure--don't look for an in-depth study of the subject here (Turnbull has a large number of other books if you want to delve into much greater depth and detail)--but what you will find here here instead is a concise, synoptic overview of the Japanese sword and its use in and impact on...

The Samurai sword of Japan is probably the finest edged weapon ever made. This volume, written by leading Samurai expert Stephen Turnbull, reveals the story of how and why it achieved this distinction, from the sword's unique metallurgy to its use in combat, where one stroke often decided the victor.
Particular attention is paid to the development of the familiar curved blade from the original straight blades, the associated development of Japan's famous steel-making techniques and the challenges from contemporary warfare. Together with the technical details of forging, polishing, mounting and testing, this volume is brought to life with details of the great swordmakers themselves.
Moreover, no history of the sword would be complete without a detailed examination of its use in combat, from the greatest Samurai armies to individual duels and revenge killings. Personal accounts allow the reader to discover the art of Japanese swordsmanship in the hands of masters such as Miyamoto Musashi to the unnamed Japanese warrior defending his family's honor. This lively text is perfectly complemented by artwork reconstructions of the sword in use and color photographs of the swords in use. Top to learn more

Reviews from Customers
Student Tony Boucher says, "The study of the sword has greatly improved my life."Student Chance Ward says, "Very clear & precise, great explanations, history, nice touch of personal association, subtle blend of colors and anime, a dash of levity (which I love) and just the right amount of seriousness. One of the best training videos I've seen (and that's saying a lot) I've seen literally hundreds in the last 30 year!"Sensei Monica Voge: "I've gained incredible strength in mind, body and spirit after studying with Shihan McGraugh for many years."Student Ray Cruz: "Shihan McGraugh is simply the best teacher I've ever worked with."61 Years of Age Student Jack Schrader shared, "This DVD is also invaluable as a means of continuing to train and practice at home. It is a fantastic introduction to all aspects of the Japanese katana or Samurai sword. This is a DVD that will be a permanent part of my library."

Worth every penny!
By Following the instructions laid out by Shihan John McGraugh I have not only mastered the art of Katana swordplay, but have vanquished my enemies in the process... AND lost 15 pounds. If you can find me another product that can accomplish all of that for $19.95, I advise you to buy it. And fast. But it isn't out there. This is the real deal, people.

A must buy for Martial artist
Shihan John McGraugh by far is one of the greatest instructors i have had the honor of training under in my 15 years of martial arts training. His sword techniques are unmatched and where perfected in Japan. Let me say it my honest opinion his has great technique and i have seen people compete in the US open of martial arts. This video is a must buy for any martial artist out there and for the price without a doubt you won't be disappointed.

sword cleaning kit, very good!
Super fast shipping. Kit was nicer than pictured,oil in clay vase,lint free cloth instead of rice paper,and a set of replacement mekugi pegs. As well, a brass hammer and wooden driver pin for removeing pegs,and 2" powder ball all in a well marked wooden display box without splinters. Overall very nice for the money. I would highly recommend this kit to anyone in need of a quality sword cleaning kit! Thanks, Mike

A good and useful buy for the price
I can't go into a lot of detail since I'm a NEWBIE at this sword-maintenance stuff, but this sort of thing is a must if you're buying any sword that's made of high-carbon steel (the composition of which is susceptible to rust). Even if it's for display only, a sword must be cleaned on a fairly regular basis to ward off rusting, and obviously water isn't exactly the ideal method, dig it?The cleaning kit comes in a wooden box that feels fairly cheap but at the same time antique, and given the nature of the product, I'm going to chalk that up as a good thing--just, um, be careful with the box. Mine had some scuff-marks on the lid that slightly took away from the kanji markings on top, but meh, I don't especially care--and I'm pretty sure that was just my own bad luck. There's an instruction sheet, easy enough to follow and all that, but it loses a star for being on very, very thin paper and giving no indication as to how often a sword should generally be maintained. There is,...

After sword carrying was banned in Japan, some Samurais uses Shirasaya style katana to conceal their swords. The Shirasaya first came into use when the sword smiths needed a place to temporarily store their sword blades. Newly forged katana swords were often stored in wooden sheath to store until they could be fitted. Product Description This is a hand made razor sharp entry level practical shirasaya style katana sword.
