In Japanese, "koshirae" (拵え) refers to the complete mounting of a traditional Japanese sword, encompassing all its external components like the handle, scabbard, and guard. It's more than just a functional housing; it's a work of art that reflects the sword's owner's status, personality, and aesthetic preferences.
The blade itself is good, though not razor-sharp, but can cut stiff paper. However the tsuba is not up to the quality of the blade. It looks cheap and unfinished. The tsuba is twice thinner that tsuba on Ronin katana and Swordier katana. It looks like it was stamped from some kind of very cheap alloy and has pant smudges, et cetera. From the tsuka point of view the tsuba is concaved. Overall it is very cheap tsuba for $600 sword. And definitely spoils the beauty of the katana. I would not recommend this sword to anyone, because of tsuba.
Unfortanutelly this blade is does not deserve this koshirae.
Hello Greg,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your detailed insights on the blade and koshirae.
All of our Musashi swords are fully disassemblable, including the tsuba, which can be replaced if desired. We regret that the tsuba’s design and quality did not meet your expectations.

The proper care and maintenance of swords is critical to retain their peak condition. The blade materials used to forge the samurai swords are susceptible to rust if not well taken care of.
