Master USA Training Sword, Black Polypropylene Samurai Style Handle-Sparring Practice Equipment

My kid is getting this Master USA Training Sword for Christmas to begin his journey into the shadows. But before I let him start his ninja training, I had to put this thing through a rigorous "Quality Control" session (which is parent-speak for "swinging it around the living room while making 'whoosh' sounds when no one was looking"). The "Expert" Verdict: I used to sell Cold Steel knives and swords back in the day, so my bar for "practice gear" is higher than a double-jumping rogue. I’ve handled their legendary polypropylene practice swords, and honestly? This one is just like them—but actually better. The Build: It’s made of heavy-duty Black Polypropylene that feels indestructible. The Style: It has a Short Samurai style that is perfectly balanced for a kid-sized ninja. The Handle: The Samurai Style Handle provides a grip so secure, it’s not going anywhere during an intense sparring session. The "Sparring" Reality: This is legitimate Sparring Practice Equipment. It’s got that "thunk" factor you want. I tested the quality beforehand, and it’s solid enough to take a beating without shattering like those cheap plastic toy-store versions. It’s got the heft of a real weapon but the safety of high-grade poly. Final Verdict: If you want your child to become the next Hokage (or just stop breaking your broomsticks while pretending they are katanas), buy this. As a former sword pro, I give it the official seal of approval. 12/10. My kid is going to be the most dangerous person at the Christmas tree this year.

I am impressed with the quality of the sword for the price when I purchased it ($6+). I would be hard pressed to find one locally or at a store that would come close to the cost and look of it. It's detailed on the blade and has a sturdy feel in the hand. This sword would mainly be used for costume and cosplay purposes, and for that it's well worth it. I'm not sure how long it will last if you actually try to use it for training or go hard with physical contact but for waving around and in looks/feel, it's difficult to argue against it.

I saw these on sale for just over $6 (US) each and figured, why not give them a try? I bought four for my younger son and his friends to use (they've been making movies using their phones). I am pleasantly surprised and impressed by how solid these feel, how good the quality is. These are NOT soft like Nerf swords (also fun), so the boys are careful not to stab each other. You could injure someone with this if you wanted to, or if your young hooligan tried filing it to make it sharp. Great quality, especially for the price, I recommend these for responsible use. (Idiots could use Nerf and cause minimal damage, but these are solid and have some heft.)

It’s a Wakizashi blade, which can only be between 12 to 24 inches in length. It’s a secondary short Katana that Samurai used to carry as a backup. The product itself is of great quality; however, 4 stars due to not mentioning the type of blade. If you’re looking for a full Katana, check out item #1802.

I think this still deserves a 5 star rating even though I think it's a little too pricey. Needs to be about 10% to 15% cheaper in my opinion. But it shipped really fast and it's a really sturdy and hard plastic. I don't intend on using it for anything but cosplay, but I can say that it feels pretty light and handles well. If you want something to really practice with, it likely doesn't have the weight of a real sword, but it's a decent alternative. If you're looking to cosplay with a bokken, then this is worth. I also got 2 of this because of 2 of my original characters using a katana based weapon. Leaving the hilt off makes it look more like an unsheathed katana in my opinion, but it does stay on very well. Only thing I wish is that it also came in a blue color, but that's more personal preference and not really important for a product review. Getting some specialized paint for these is recommended if using for cosplay.

These are amazing. They look great and you probably couldn’t beat it for the price! My little one swings it like a bat against my sword, she’s quite skilled, and it holds up well! Great make and material. I’d recommend to anyone looking for swords that aren’t real but have a real feel to them!!! Theyre fairly* light weight and have a good shape. I like that the guard can be easily taken off and put back on depending on preference. Definitely not flimsy!

Impressed with sword. Heavier and more durable than expected.

I was expecting this to be a thicker type of plastic sword that I would buy at a costume store because the price seemed so cheap. So, I bought it to go with my son's ninja costume. Joke is on me because this thing will last for eternity and can probably be used for home defense or cause him to grounded for going after his sisters. I don't know anything about martial arts training but I would guess to say this would be a great product to buy for it. It has been beaten against trees, stumps, walls and plenty of rocks and barely has a scratch on it. I keep waiting for it to break but I don't see that happening any time soon. Overall, I would certainly buy it again but probably not for a ten year old boy.

My grandson LOVES this. It is a practice sword and not a toy, for sure. Well worth the money. Well made, durable, great material ... JUST THE TICKET for a kid who loves to " learn the moves" of anime. LOL Just make sure he practices where there is a lot of free space around him.
