Musashi Swords
A relative newcomer, Musashi Swords are rapidly becoming one of the most reliable and high quality providers of budget Japanese swords and blades.
Re-branding the work of several Chinese forges (including, notably, the forge of acclaimed Chinese sword smith Chris Zhou, pictured right) Musashi swords have been a regular at many trade shows, but have only recently established an internet presence, care of their official US distributor Roger Caneda (who is also the owner of the Dragons Cavern a very popular and reliable online seller of high quality fantasy display swords). Despite the fact that they are made at several different forges, Musashi swords are generally quite consistently good quality especially considering the extremely low price tags. As such they produce a range of extremely affordable light duty cutters/display swords all the way up to some real no frills workhorses all branded with a distinctive double C Ring Tsuba image either on the blade or on the habaki (blade collar). The price range on Musashi swords ranges for US$59.99 to $379.99 though few above the $200 mark. It should also be noted that as the manufacturer/re-brander only uses SKUs the names of each individual sword may well vary from retailer to retailer despite the fact that the product is the same.
MAIN PRODUCT LINES
Most of the known issues have to do with Quality control issues involved with the $50 to $149 range of swords and Tanto. Not all of the blades in this category are of consistently good quality which is largely to be expected considering the extremely low production costs and the sheer volume of swords being produced.... Due to this issue, it is highly recommended to either buy direct from the official distributor or from a reseller with a proven track record of excellent customer service.

The vast majority of Musashi swords fall within this broad price based category, which also encompasses their range of affordable Japanese Tanto (Japanese daggers).
All of the swords within this category are made at the Forge of the legendary Chinese artisan 
Most of the swords in the US$250 price range and up are in closeout primarily due to the fact that the swords made by Chris Zhou are simply better quality than the forges making their more expensive laminated and folded Katana.
