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.

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.

FAQ
What is the importance of provenance in determining a sword's value?
Provenance establishes the basic facts about a sword. It provides the date it was made, who made it and who owned it. This allows you to determine authenticity and, through this, the sword’s monetary and cultural value.
How can I protect myself from buying a fake Samurai sword?
Knowing the provenance of a Samurai sword is one sure way to ensure you are not duped. Purchasing the sword from an authorized and reputable dealer further safeguards against becoming the owner of a fake Samurai sword.
Are there any legal restrictions on owning a Samurai sword?
If you purchase a Samurai sword, you must be at least 18 in the United States. However, while owning and even displaying a Samurai sword in your residence is perfectly legal, state-governed restrictions may apply to whether you can carry it in public.
What are the responsibilities of owning a historical weapon?
If you own a historical weapon, you are assuming responsibility for its care and continuance. You must take care to treat it with the respect it deserves. You must ensure:
- It retains its excellent condition or can be restored appropriately to a pristine state.
- You preserve all the paperwork indicating its provenance.
- You protect it from damage, theft and other adverse situations.

What is the difference between “Musha” and “Musashi” swords?
The primary difference between Musha and Musashi swords lies in the materials and craftsmanship:
- Musha Swords: These are more entry-level or budget-friendly swords, typically made with less expensive materials. They are perfect for beginners or those looking for a functional yet affordable sword.
- Musashi Swords: These are higher-end swords, crafted with superior materials and greater attention to detail. They are often favored by collectors or martial artists seeking top-tier performance and aesthetic value.
Both Musha and Musashi swords are functional, but Musashi swords offer a premium experience with higher craftsmanship.
