DIY Build A Katana Samurai Sword Set

I received this today and everything is good from the blade to the saya, to the tsuba. The only thing is, I was only given a pair of mekugi pins instead of two but I had some extras from my other swords. Fitting the sword into the saya after assembling the handle made the sword a tight fit in the saya and now I can't get it out but I guess that is good. Overall I am satisfied. Also this is a Tenryu sword. This sword does truly look and feel like a real samurai would weild.

I should have read the description..... It does not come with the Dragon Tsuba. The Wood pins are too short for the sword. I had to go to Lowes to buy Oak dowels, and shape them on my belt sander to fit. Out side of that, everything is good.

Nice quality craftsmanship for all individual parts. Mine needed a bit filing but overall a very nice kit for the price. The instuction was rather poor but just you tube it and you will be fine. Shipping time was unbelievable, although it wasnt free, it was here in less than 26 hours from the moment I bought it. Great product. 120 dollar sword + 15 dollar maint. kit + 5 dollar sword stand + 5 dollar cloth bag, plus some added extras that would equal 10-20 dollars or more. Definetly a great value.

I was extremely impressed by this product. I have been a student of the martial-arts from the age of 8 years old and a student of weapons from 15 years old. At 45yo I can say that I am qualified to judge the worth and functionality of almost all types of weapons. This product is fully functional and one of the best teaching/learning products available. Before a student can learn to use a weapon they must first know every aspect of the weapon. Thats why the U.S. Army required us to dismantle, clean and reassemble our weapons...to teach us to know our weapons. Thumbs-up on this product. I highly recommend this for both students and Masters.

It needs better instruction.

I originally ordered this sword at the beginning of January 2015. When it came, it was missing a Tsuba, 4 Mekugi, 2 Seppa and the wooden display stand. According to the website, there should be 3 Tsuba (I received 2), 2 Mekugi plus 4 extra (I received 2), 2 Seppa plus 4 extra (I received 4) and a wooden display stand (I received 0 (none)). I asked for an exchange. A month later my replacement sword arrived and guess what. It's missing the same identical pieces. I called customer service and they put a note on my account to check my next replacement to make sure that everything is in the package. It's going to take yet another month to get my sword. If it comes missing pieces again, I'll return it for a refund, find another place to make my purchases and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau. I don't see how they keep customers with this type of thing happening. I think I'll be looking elsewhere for my swords in the future. Yeah, the prices here are great, but I'm paying for something and not getting it.
