Minor gripes with it (aka wish the blade was anodized black instead of what looks to be painted/powdercoated black...the finish isn't 100% smooth at some spots), and wish it was full tang to balance out the weight of it slightly...
But otherwise, very decent for something that's going to sit on the shelf. The nazi sign looking thing (whatever it's called), i feared to be plastic, but it's actually metal, which was a relief... Also bought these har har har |

I really wish some company would step up and do these swords justice...
I mean damn...it's not that hard to anadize metal a specific color, and I look at the site...the Tensa Zangetsu is made of CARBON-Steel so it's a whole hell of lot easier to break. I want a Zangetsu I can hold in my hands, swing it around, and have it feel real, without worry of it falling to pieces |

wikipedia lesson time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_steel stainless steel is about as cheap as it can get, carbon steel a step up, but don't kid yourself into thinking it's a real sword capable of going through goza or bamboo well a true folded sword will be carbon steel AND folded 1000 times over with a edge that retains a high hardness factor for cutting, while the back edge a softer hardness factor to absorb shock. |

zangetsu
ok a few things i have to say. 1st is i love bleach and i love zangetsu.
the only replica i have been able to track down of the shikai form looks totally and utterly shat. poo, crap its not zangetsu is what im basically trying to say. it looks about as good as the cloud busta swords i have seen online although to be fair its 1 piece construction as opposed to couds wooden handled piece of cheap crap. when will people learn if your gonna make a replica of something, make an expensive one or at least a mid range one, doont go cheap cos its not cool. i want a good £200 or appro $390 replica of it i want it to be full sized and accurate to the "real" zangetsu. i know i would barely be able to swing it, but it would make a nice display piece. ok while im on that. is it me or is tensa zangetsu not a curved katana, it looks to me to be a straight katana and so the curved replica is not accurate. i did just check to be sure and i may be wrong, but i dont think i am. i want a proper version of zangetsu and i would be willing to pay. have you seen the ultr violet swords that were going. they looked cool. its like the kill bill and last samuri crap replicas they made. rat tail tang pieces of shit. anyway, thats all i have to say. |

^^I've seen it drawn both ways, so it's actually up to your interpretation. This pic shows it curved a bit.

Ichigo's Shikai is literally as tall as himself and then some. His sword should be around 7 feet or so. Expect to pay twice as much (or more) for his REAL Shikai sword to scale. I do not know how the hell you are going to get it shipped to you, though. |

What about a a 4x4 piece of wood? I'm sure you could kill someone in the back of the head with you wanted to. What about metal pipes and crowbars? Those should be banned too. The object itself is not the danger. It is the person that is holding it that makes it dangerous. |
