Honshu Spartan Sword - 7Cr13 Stainless Blade, Steel Guard - 23"

When I saw this sword, I had to have it! C'mon...you have to admit, this sword is too cool!! It's a beefy blade that was razor sharp out of the box. The gentle curvature of the handle fits my paw perfectly, and there's slight finger grooves for the 1st and middle fingers. There's just enough handle where I could grip with a a portion of second hand if needed, and there's a swell toward the end of the handle preventing the weapon from slipping out of one's hand during use. The texturing on the handle provides a terrific gripping surface if one's hand was wet. The scabbard is a thick leather and very nicely constructed. The 7Cr-13 stainless isn't the "best" steel out there, but it's still an outstanding material. The blade could very well be full-tang as there's two screws/bolsters in the handle, but I couldn't say for sure--the spirit hasn't moved me to take the thing apart to check. The blade balances about 3 1/2 inches in front of the guard, so it's very easy to control. I watched the video for this sword prior to purchase, and was waiting for a strength test on something other than a watermelon...LOL!! I would have liked to have seen chopping demonstration on wood, or tatami to show it's cutting and blade strength. Overall, I love this sword!!

This Blade is Exceptional, as is all Honshu blades, well made. I have several Honshu knives, swords, machetes, weapons... I will continue to buy these particular blades because of their Quality, Durability, Design, Look, Feel.

Absolute amazing blade. Well made, sharp, and awesome, everything you want in a sword. Sparta!

The knife is good. Great for making a trail, cutting small branches, clearing shrubbery around the campsite, and chopping small firewood but don't go and chop logs with it. It is not an ax and would eventually break if you did. Remember it's stainless steel, not carbon steel. Overall it is a really nice knife.

Just got mine yesterday 6-20-20. I must admit i wanted one because it looks so cool! Guess I'm still a kid at heart when it comes to a nice blade. It does not disappoint! Don't think I could shave with it, but it is very sharp with a very sharp point, mine had actually punched through the plastic tip protector (during shipment I would guess). Very comfortable grip and a nice thick leather scabbard. It is not double edged, but that suits me fine. Over all I would say it's very good quality! Everything fits tight and it looks great. Depending on what you intend to use it for you may want to balance ease of care (stainless version) with hardness (holding an edge better) and consider the D2 tool steel version, though it is almost twice the cost. Love it!

Great product, especially for the price, can't get much better, it is pretty sharp, no complaints from me, I cut myself accidentally and it was like butter going into my finger, sheath is a little tough to get on sometimes, but I figured out a system to get the buttons clicked easier now, great product, bring on the Zombie apocalypse, lol, J/K, worth every dime!

I first decided I wanted to buy this sword after watching a few reviews on YouTube. I watched it cut through deep lumber and have no issues. Well after I received it I decided to put it to the test. I did the shave test and i actually shaved my right arm with it! After that I put it to the chopping test. First a bit of bamboo, then cardboard boxes and finally a few big branched and a log. It survived all unscathed with no damage. I am proud to say Honshu has my lifelong service. Thank you honshu and thank you BudK for being my go to site!

This beautiful specimen is exactly as described! Shipping was swift, packaged well.. i am very satisfied with this work of art! Sheath is substantial and well made as well! Thank you kindly BUDK

This is the real deal...an awesome Boss of short swords!

Just like every other review for this sword I’m giving it 5 stars, as it deserves. This blade is the meaning of perfection. The second I laid eyes on it, it was already my favorite blade. Perfectly shiny, nice and thick, great rubber handle and razor sharp. The shape is perfect, and when it gets hit by the light just right, it’s the most beautiful thing you’ll ever see. I’d pay $150 for a blade this quality, and the price that it’s at is a miracle

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WEAPON. VERY NICE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Five out of five stars! I ordered it on Sunday, it arrived today, Wednesday. Top notch customer service and fast shipping. This weapon is a beauty! Fit and finish is superb. It's gorgeous. Super sharp. Love the aggressive blade design. Solid and perfectly balance. Feels great in the hand. I'm going to get a stand and display it. I don't want to get it dirty. This thing is so nice. The scabbard is good, sturdy leather too. Very nice. Get one. You will love it.

I love the looks of this sword, Just wish the top edge was sharp. I had been looking for a machete', for some time now but all I could find was those thin bladed ones, This is about the same length but a LOT thicker so It will serve as both sword and machete. Excellent craftsmanship!

I actually got this as a machete' I got tired of the cheap machete's available with their flimsy blades. this one has a great thick blade on it, sharp, just the right length, heavy end for chopping through the brush, easily sharpened.

I still love my double edged ninja sword but was disappointed about its sharpness when it arrived, this on the other hand passed the arm shaving test, only the leading edge of the blade is sharpened which is good all other parts you'd probably just cut yourself, it looks and feels like a quality blade but lighter then I hoped for, only two negatives, i dont have the large hands but the handle seems small, the grip at the web of the hand doesn't feel right, at least without gloves and the rivet that's holding handle strap on the sheath seems cheap, I would not be suprising if it fell off one day, all in all it's a awesome blade

This piece of art is BEAUTIFUL the lines on this masterpiece are truly perfect from handle to point, excellent for battle, thanks again BUDK

This sword is incredible. It slices with ease and feels very easy to handle. The weight isn't so much that it feels heavy, but it isn't flimsy either. The quality of the blade is exceptional for this price. Don't wait, buy it now!
