    Useful

    I already had the paperback edition, but wanted the hardback for my collection. I often use it for reference, it's simple and easy to use unlike some other books on the subject. Recommend

  • Katana Specialty Book.

    Highly specialized book covering history & collecting. A great part of the book is dedicated to technical aspects of the sword. Describes every single part. If you are particularly into Samurai swords, you will want this detailed book. If not, it will be too highly specialized for general interest.

  • The Samurai sword

    It would have been nice to get the correct book.

    This was purchased for my son-in-law for a birthday gift. He collects, and is interested in the Samurai Swords. This is a great product for the Samurai enthusiast! Many details and drawings are included, and also how they are made traditionaly! Very interesting.
