Super light weight ,pretty sharp blade. Beautiful sword with a reasonable price. Glad I went with the red blade, though it seems more brown then red.All in all it is actually better then expected. It is sharp but I wish it would have been extra sharp.
Beautiful and deadly sharp out of the packaging. This is by no means a toy, You could easily lose appendages if you screw around. Be safe and use it with caution.
This is my first sword. It came in perfect condition. The handle and wrapping were tight. The blade was very nice with no defects. The sword has a good edge but needed some final sharpening to slice stuff up. I filled a plastic bottle with water and it busted/cut it some and knocked it into the bushes. I sharpened it a little and re-tried my test. It sliced through with so little resistance it was a little scary. This thing is ready to go now. I also waxed the scabbard and it really made it shine. If its as tough as the videos show...its a keeper. I also bought a bokken to practice with.....which was a good call because a mistake might cost me some stitches or worse. :D
Received my Katana yesterday, a day before their earliest predicted delivery. Looks BEAUTIFUL! Came sharp enough to cut paper. The hada and hamon are beautiful! The profile of the tip is a couple millimeters off of symmetrical but otherwise the profile is great in that it can be profiled for any purpose without any extra effort or metal removal. Blade is straight
I am a sword collector. Not the decorative type, I love the functional battle ready type. This sword is both in my eyes. It is well crafted with good balance would be good for a Zombie Apocalypse. It arrived nice and shard of course I will fine tune it. After I write this I want to see what else they have to offer.
My first katana and I love it. Well balanced blade and the fact that they engrave for free is nice. I got the electroplated black instead of red. The way they ship it is fantastic. Completely wrapped up in Styrofoam to ensure safe overseas travel. I would definitely buy again. Detail on the katana is nice too. Hope this helps.
