Customer Reviews

Ross Nichols Oregon, United States

First thing is this is a sword for 150 and it is 1095 and ful tang that's a good start. Any collection has to have a kogarasumaru style blade which is beautifully polished and the grooves are perfect and it is quite sharp in the right places . The blade is very light but it feels powerful with to hands fast and deadly. The tsuba really stands apart among all the fittings, it is very solid and dense of quality alloy and almost 1/4 inch thick with good details . The tsuka ito is very tight and expertly done. The Saya arrived in perfect condition and is all well done and the fit is perfect being just tight enough. This sword is well worth the cost and the color scheme is subtle with a flash of silver like the blade just before you cut down your opponent.
