Murasame Type 98 Gunto Review

A highquality, impressively wellmade Shin Gunto reproduction that I received from Swan at Murasame Swords. Handmade in Longchuan, I put this one on par with my real ones. Detailed parts, excellent fit and finish. Folded 1095 steel (possibly Sanmai lamination), straight Hamon, VERY hard edge. Super smooth on the draw and scabbard lockup. Blade is surprisingly light, perfectly balanced for me. Also, many thanks to Swan for all of his help and prompt responses to my questions. I ve definitely added Murasame to my list of trusted sword dealers.
