This sword arrived to me yesterday. I just started slicing boxes & branches without any problem and the blade is still very sharp after all the cutting I did with this sword. i really recommend this sword to people that don't want to spend lots of money on Sameri Sword. I can trust this sword during the zombies attack...lol!

This sword is by far the best one I own. The fact that the price has been reduced so much is astonishing. It will slice grass mats as well as any musashi sword I have. I literally cannot believe the price is so low, they have to be losing money on this one. Thanks True Sword!

just receive this katana so haven't had time to cut with it.But it does cut thin and regular typing paper front and back fine.the kasaka is little louse but can fix that easy.the rest of fittings ok.wrap on suka is medium tight fine love the tsuba.the blade is shrap no secondary bevel easy to sharpen with sand paper if need to.love the color of the scabble.have had good luck with ten ryu katanas in past,over all happy with katana.good customer service from budk

I am really pleased with this sword; it is a practical use sword as well as a beautiful piece of art. Looks great, comes really sharp out of the box and all the components are assembled tight for a strong feel of a weapon. I would definitely recommend it!
