Shinwa Green Dragon Black Damascus Shirasaya Sword

This is a beautiful, light weight fast and functional sword, a must have for any collector.

It's a nice looking piece. There was some minor damage to mine, looked like i wasn't the first owner. A few small scratches and dents on the sheath and the very tip of the blade was bent like it had been dropped on a hard surface. After a little repair work on the tip it's nice and sharp again, but it's very loose in the sheath and rattles alot. Something else i fixed myself. Now, damage aside, it was fairly sharp and the blade has a very nice pattern. It is not very well balanced though. Between that and the description not specifying, I'm fairly certain it's not full tang. Overall it's a nice LOOKING sword but for the price, I'd suggest just getting a musashi or masahiro. Can get far better quality for about the same price.
