Wow, what a fabulous sword for the price!r
I practice Iaido and generally utilize an aluminum-bladed specific katana. I purchased this katana to have a reasonably priced live blade for kata and demonstrations. I also teach Kobudo and utilize a live blade for demonstrations and for more advanced students (Bo, Tonfa, and Sai). I couldn't be happier considering the cost of this katana. The blade, fitings and assembly quality are several notches above the price. Sharpness is adequate for showing the live blade during demonstrations (water bottles, etc.), and I don't really want a true razor edge for demos. As the instructor, I generally act as "Tori" and have an advanced student act as "Uke" with the katana, so any risk from the live blade is on me. I'm not especially worried about damaging the blade edge, even with the Sai, and my Ukes have said they like the katana. I recommend this katana to anyone looking to minimize cost and needing a good basic katana.
