I bought a Japanese sword Katana for $24.95 plus $99 shipping from China,  description: "Japanese sword Katana, hand made and hand carved, grained blade, sharp and sturdy, steel scabbard in lacquer, (guard, collar, end-cap, scabbard mouth and cap) made of brass, hilt wrapped in shark skin and bound with string. In excellent condition" 

This thing looks like a real antique samurai sword, but that is not possible for this price. It is a reproduction that looks very nice, but it is not a good sword.  The steel is so soft that I can cut it with my pocket knife. The graining which is supose to be from folding the forged steel many times is fake.

I read the reveiws and they were all positve 100%.  People really believe that these are the real things, so don't just go by feedback.  Who wants to admit that they were duped.  A real samurai sword would cost thousands of dollars.  .  Just remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
