An excellent example of design, well weighted and stronger than defined in the movie "Paul" (mine is anyway). Scabbard is strong, with a kiddy/noob proof release on the handle is priceless. Highly recommended for the post apocalyptic survival kit. :] (read more)

Th is sword looks amazing. The blade is so strong and will last a life time. When i go to buy a sword i do not want one that will break anytime soon. A sword should be sharp and cut through straw and cloth like butter but as you would see this sword would not have trouble with the butter. Very high quality sword. (read more)

The katana is a great looking sword. It's a sweet sword and there are no bad points about the United Cutlery Samurai 3000 katana sword. (read more)

I have not had any problems with the blade grinding the inside of the scabbard. My sword stays sharp, though not as sharp as I'd like. My problem is with the flimsiness of the blade. I read all the other reviews and was surprised to see no one mentioned the blade is so flimsy. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if a blade wobbles like a wet noodle when it is struck, can one put much faith in its functionality? I would be afraid to strike anything with it for fear the blade would break or... (read more)

Don't use United Cutlery Samurai 3000 Katana if you don't know how to use a sword. It can be heavy, but it is heavy at all.
Hard, flexible and sharp if you sharpen it (or send it to a profesional).

Don't expect to cut anything with this sword, I tried slicing through cloth with it, no luck! This sword's useless for cutting things but PERFECT for acting as a gorgeous display piece. Don't bother sharpening it like I did, a few trips in and out of the aluminium scabbard and any sharp edge gets worn down, the blade drags on the inside of the scabbard as it travels, this causes no damage but it blunts it. The blunt blade is a blessing in disguise as you can play with the sword, swing it... (read more)

are you serious, because i just bought a samuria 3000 sword and the only reason i bought it is because the website i bought it from said it was fully functional and could cut through anything. Well... I guess I have to return it when it arrives.

Well of course it didn't cut through cloth that's its a sword not a pair of scissors. I have the same sword and the first day it came in the mail I was able to cut the box it came in with ease.

Hmm, that's interesting! Who knows, maybe my blade was badly ground or something. Be assured that I meant exactly what I said: My blade was SERIOUSLY blunt and would only chop little slits into the box... But then again, how long's a piece of string? How sharp is sharp? My idea of sharp is RAZOR sharp, it depends on your individual requirements. To conclude; in my opinion, the Samurai 3000 sword has a weak cutting edge. Either it was a factory "dud" or I'm just demanding too much from a display sword, who knows?

<br>Well, if you're happy with it then that's good!

Are you guys nuts?! You're talking about stainless steel wallhanger! This sword is no good for anything else than being a display piece! It has ridiculously small tang, and it is held together with a piece of plastic. There has been many accidents with this sword, and I don't recommend buying swords like this.

"a few cuts"????? you should NEVER practice with a live blade! Only the talented can wield a sword without neutering themselves. The blade of the Samurai 3000 Katana sword is made from stainless steel which can barely cut butter. Take that to a sword-smith and he'll laugh at you. Real Katana blades are made from folded carbon steel and can literally cut you in half.
