The price of a samurai sword made of carbon steel

Chester_Lim SG

Recently I bought a sharpened samurai sword made of deep forged carbon steel and comes with about 1 metre full tang for $400 from a online sword dealer who is staying in singapore.

Is this a reasonable price to pay for a sharpened samurai sword made of carbon steel with full tang of 1 metre?

I saw a somewhat similar sword made of carbon steel selling at caesars for $750 which is much more expensive. But the caesars sword come with a sword stand, box to keep the sword and a bottle of oil.

However, this $400 sword that I buy do not come with the sword stand, box and oil. However she gave me a silk sword bag for the sword.

I had to go to my provision shop at my house to buy the singer oil which cost $1.50 to oil my sword.

U just ask caesars why theirs is 700 bucks...if they cant tell U why..U just found a shop to avoid...

I don't think caesars will say why theirs cost $700 cos that guy in the shop is just the sales assistant and not the owner of the company.

Btw, I bought the sword from a sword dealer and she does not have a physical shop. She is advertising her products in ebay so maybe because she don't need to pay for rental etc so she can sell it cheaper

did u test the carbon steel sword??its got to be the right amount carbon......if in the right amount that steel would be able even to slice apart a car door with the right technique.

original samurai sword is composite steel layer soft inside hard outside......as designed.....but if u need to take a car or lorry door apart and finish the job...best get a composite steel layered sword .s 100% carbon steel sword wont last long....
