And that seems more and more rare to be able to say these days." Thank you to everyone at Katanas For Sale that participated in my order, making of the sword, and shipping it to me. I would 100% recommend this place and the sword they make. That experience made me appreciate the quality so much more. The one from the other place was 3 weeks late and I was so disappointed. It far exceeded my expectations and is my favorite sword! I have ordered 2 from Katanas For Sale and 1 from another place (sorry, I cheated on you). The day came when it was delivered and I was so happy. The wait time was relatively short and the expected time was accurate with zero issues in shipping and delivery. I got it extra sharp and this is my display, mat cutting sword. Playing around with options allowed me to make the sword that I absolutely love! I chose the T10 steel, based on the description and research I did on the types of metal. This really allowed my artistic side to come out and I ended up changing my original idea because it didn't flow well once I saw it. And it has been missing ever since."First off, the app to customize a sword is the best thing I've ever seen. The Honjo Masamune, along with the other swords of the collection had been stolen. However, later it was discovered that the man had used a fake name as there was no one named Coldy Bimore in that regiment.

After Japan surrendered, all the sword collections of the royal families were handed over to the Allied forces. The Honjo Masamune sword remained in possession of the Tokugawa family until the end of the Second World War. It gradually was seen as a symbol of Tokugawa Shogunate, and was preserved until the Second World War, being declared a Japanese National Treasure in 1939. From there the sword was passed from one generation to another, treasured for centuries. The sword went into the hands of the Tokugawa family, the rulers of Japan for more than 250 years. Later, Shigenaga desperately needed money and had to sell the sword. One of the popular legends involves a competition between Masamune and his great rival, Sengo Muramasa. There are several legends associated with the Honjo Masamune sword. Today, the worth of the Honjo Masamune sword is some millions of dollars, and despite its loss many experts believe that the sword may be still out there. Passed on from one generation to another for nearly seven hundred years, it is considered a national treasure of Japan. However this signature may still be lost due to changes made to the blade during its long life. Masamune was never a proud man and left most of his works unsigned, but some believe he may have made an exception for this sword. Ishikawa Goemon: The Japanese Robin Hood?.Where Truth Meets Legend: Was Jimmu the First Emperor of Japan?.Records as to the measurements of the sword differ from source to source, but it is believed that the sword’s length was 25.6 inches (65 cm), with a curvature of just 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). Just like the other swords made by Masamune, the blade pattern of Honjo Masamune was created through careful and repeated hardening of the metal.
