I received my aluminum practice sword in 13 days. Very light and and blunt blade makes the swoosh sound. It is about what I expected.

Note: Katana arrived in styrofoam without an outer box and had some smudges on the handle that needed to be cleaned. However, it is great quality, arrived in a timely manner and overall, very happy with my purchase. Received many compliments.

The Good: this iaito has a nice simple aesthetic. The blade and handle are well balanced and it is sufficient for beginner Iaido training.
The Bad: at this price point there are some compromises that have been made that I would like to see changed on a newer model. They are as follows.
1. The plastic saya is disappointing. Plastic shavings get stuck to the blade, there’s a lot of rattle, and even a cheap wooden saya would have been much preferred to plastic.
2. The edge of the iaito is kind of fat. This might be a good thing for beginners worried about stabbing themselves (iaito can still be sharp on the tip, even sharp enough to cut flesh or stab into something) but a thinner and more refined edge would have been better.
3. The handle wrapping is a little loose, but for the price that is expected.
Despite all these negatives the sword definitely allows me to train in a way that’s better than a bokken for Iaido and for that I would recommend it for a tight budget iaidoka looking for their first training iaito.

Decent for the money. Had to glue some stuff back together, but not a huge deal. Good enough for training purposes and is sufficiently whimsical.

The shipping was fast- I believe it was at my door 5 days from when I placed the order.
As for the katana, the Saya is plastic and the blade is aluminum, making it extremely light weight and easy to wield. I've only had it for a day and done some basic drawing/drills with it. Admittedly I am concerned about how it will hold up to even light contact, so time will tell.
For now I am happy with it, but the price does seem high for a practice weapon (based on the plethora of "sharp" edged, and probably poor quality, weapons I could have gotten for a fraction of the price). If I can get a couple years of use out of it, I'd say it was worth it.

The katana is good-looking. Is too light for my personal preferences. I had to glue the small metal ring on the top side where the waist string runs through. It came off very easy. The blade as it is aluminum bends easily. In my opinion, it needs to be thicker and wider. That will make not bend so easily and give it more weight. Overall I am satisfied even though it is on the expensive side when it comes to the cost and came with no sword cover or bag.

This is the first time I’ve purchased a trainer katana and was well worth the money. This is a quality training tool that has given me the confidence to properly execute basic sword strikes, unsheathing and re-sheathing techniques, and ultimately appreciate the art itself! Excellent trainer, looking forward to hopefully getting a real one- if my wife lets me:(

Paint on the katana blade was scratched and after a few draws from the plastic Saya it received more scratches. The koiguchi was incredibly tight.
Other than that it arrived quickly and will make a good practice katana. It feels good in the hand.
Next time I would not get the painted blades.

Very nice sword, sturdy and light. Exactly what I needed to practice my forms after getting back into things in my 40's. Makes my cutting sword feel like it's made out of iron by comparison.

This is a more expensive dull/practice katana than a lot of products out on the market, but totally worth it. Very solid build with great balance. A really excellent practice blade which closely resembles a katana. I have no concerns about really working out with this blade (have heard too many bad stories about poorly built practice katanas flying apart). Plus, the crazy fun pattern just makes me smile.

Item received as described. A bit of extra hassle and expense due to shipping out of USA but not unduly tardy. First impression is that it’s what I wanted: an aluminum training iaito with decent fittings. Looks real but is blunt so you won’t chop thumb off learning how to return sword to saya. Feels light but solidly made, eg doesn’t flop around, bend, or wriggle inside the (real or well simulated) rayskin wrap. It’s a fraction of the cost of a practice katana at the local sword shop, and not an easy object to find in the first place.

Very well built, very easy to use for Iaido. The only thing I was surprised on was that the Habaki had a lot of wear on it which was strange for a new item but it doesn’t affect the use of the sword in any way.

The product arrived in a timely fashion, and in excellent condition. Although it appears darker, in person, than expected, it is true to the design shown on the website and it looks amazing.
