Customer Reviews

I spent some real time with this sword rather than just unboxing it, taking a few pictures, and calling that a review.r
r
Visually, it's a very good-looking piece. The blade pattern is attractive without being overdone, the fittings have plenty of detail, and the black wrap over white samegawa gives it a traditional appearance while still having some personality. It's also the kind of sword that gets attention when it's sitting on a table or rack.r

My particular example did have some movement between the nakago and tsuka when it arrived. Since I work with blades and fabrication myself, I completely disassembled it rather than guessing about the cause. The tsuka was extremely tight and took some persuasion to remove, but once apart I cleaned and inspected everything, corrected the fit with a small spacer, and reassembled it.r
r
After that adjustment, the sword became rock solid. The blade seats firmly, the fittings are tight, and the movement I initially noticed is gone.r

I mention the issue because I think useful reviews should include the things that could be improved, not just praise. I regularly get opportunities to handle blades around other craftsmen, collectors and enthusiasts, and conversations about construction, fit, finish and value naturally come up at gatherings, fairs and similar events. When somebody asks what I think about a sword, I like being able to explain why I like or dislike it rather than simply repeating what's on the product page.r
r
In this case, my biggest criticism is final fit and QC on the example I received. The underlying sword, however, impressed me enough that I was willing to tear it down, correct the problem and put it back into service rather than write it off.r
r
I'd genuinely be interested in seeing how other models from this maker compare. I'm particularly interested in swords I can actually disassemble and inspect, because construction and fit tell me considerably more than an unboxing ever will.
