I got my Cold Steel Warrior Katana from them for $250! I wish I bought 2 because I think they realized that they were undercharging for the sword, because a couple days later I checked the price and it went up to $360! The Shinwa swords used to be $179. They do also sell Cold Steel products for good prices. Bud K has a lot of cheap low quality stuff, but knowing what to look for from them is the way to go since they do have decent prices occasionally. I think they are worthy swords considering how many crappy swords are out there for a similar price. I checked the edge of the sword and aside from a couple of scuff marks the edge was undisturbed. The branch's living dead status made it hard and yet flexible, so cutting it is difficult. I didn't sever it, but the branch gave me the idea of how the sword would hit something hard. I hit a hard half-alive half-dead tree branch without much swinging room and made a nice cut in the branch. It hacks through melons and pumpkins like butter, as even a decent stainless steel swords should do. I took my 1060 high carbon steel Shinwa katana outside for a few swings to test it's cutting ability. I look at Shinwa as a jump down on the ladder from Cold Steel, but in a way that makes the sword more affordable without compromising the quality too much. Shinwa focuses quality where it is due, in the blade and construct of the sword and not in making it look overly extravagant. Shinwa is more to the point, so to speak. The cold steel feels like a light saber that will cut anything at the slightest touch, whereas the Shinwa has a more personal traditional feel. Let me just start off by saying that I agree that you can feel the difference between a cold steel and a Shinwa Katana. I own a Cold Steel katana and a few Shinwa katanas. See for yourself before your forge your opinion So I guess what I am saying is quit complaining If you don't like them fine but keep your mouth shut.that’s someone’s work and time that went into that blade.show respect to all blades cept for the shitty wall hangers that a machined out of a press…I have cut through to many of those to have any respect for them and the cost Ohh My god… anyway hoped my little rant helped some people later.
