Nice. Carbon Steel?

The Samurai 3000 Tanto has a blade Thickness of 3/16". Created of 420 J2 stainless steel, the blade is sharp. The handle material is of precisely machined metal with brushed metal finish. Push tang (1/2 length) construction. Tanto includes scabbard made of aluminum with precisely machined metal parts. (pulled off a site)

No I know this set... Samurai 3000 set is made of stainless steel... nothing for real cutting or tameshigiri.

hehe i like shiney and eye catching swords

if you need it only to look at it it's ok but if you want to practise some cutting it's not suitable.

*winces at stainless steel* well, I suppose for show it's great, and it's not too bad in knives. I'd say find something that's not stainless for the swords though. You can find swords of a much higher quality for the same price.

Well... possibly high carbon steel, selectively hardened is well... of course it must be sharpened properly. I saw a katana without decorational elements but made of quite good steel for about hmm 400$... maybe it's much but I recalculated it from our Polish currency and probably there is shipping included and so on, so that the real price may be lower. There is only one drawback of carbon steel because special care to the blade is needed...

I think I have the entire set :)
Found it across the border(IE: in Sweden) a couple of years back. Tanto, Wakizashi and Katana.

It's nice and swishy, but as others said - Stainless steel isn't for other than show.
On the other hand, it's nice and shiny and nice :D

Also; a tip if you're into that sort of stuff.-Don't try to "unscrew" the top.. it does come off.. and it's a bitch to get back on.
*guilty as described*

lol silly i hardly take it of the top of my comp stand hehe i would never unscrew any thing lol i oly screw them (pun inteneded)

Hehe.. I take mine out and wiggle about a couple of times.. (when noone's around)
I actually used the tanto once cause I didn't have a knife handy.
