Ehh technically if under "real" you mean made in Japan by certified owner and costs like a truck, then no. It's a $300 eBay sword, though fully functional and very, VERY well made.

Seller I got it from is EPIC, check this out:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
That's the one I got, except I changed my Tsuba and Saya. Check out their fittings selection :D

Also seller was more than happy to help out with certain... custom declarations.

Sword is basically everything it's advertised to be. It's as sharp as I can imagine steel being sharp, very well balanced, Tsuka-maki tight enough that it's not coming apart even during a bit more agressive kata training, fittings are very tight. Blade was well-oiled and protected with plastic foil during transport to prevent rust.

I have nothing but praises about that eBay seller, even though I was highly sceptical about eBay swords, especially under $300. I was first inclined to go with Hanwei Practical series, but when I saw the red same'gawa with black ito over it, I didn't even care if steel isn't perfect, it looked to badass. Lucky, everything was perfect.

Jesus how long was the exposure on that 589 :crackup:
 
I wouldn't dare to bring high-powered lasers THAT close to a rack full of matches, there.

Nice 473nm, damn.

I can spend hours at work(have plenty of times) watching swords and metal forged on youtube. Also green sand molding, quit interesting. There's a guy on youtube with like 20+ vids of him making different pieces for an old motor using green sand molding.
