Ten Ryu Hand Forged Samurai Sword Burgundy

This is an amazing blade for the price. You can definitely tell that it is hand forged. There is no machine edge. It is hand sharpened with a beautiful hamon. The tsuba is SOLID. the saia is very well made with a beautiful sheen to it. Very nice and tight wrap on the handle. The only problem with this katana, is that the hibaki is loose. It's not the worst I've seen, but, it's still loose. A quick fix with a thin wooden shim on each side (shim on both sides to keep it even on both sides.) Should fix the problem. The edge isn't RAZOR sharp, but it's definitely sharp. All in all I'd day it's a 4/5 ?. By the way this sword came in the mail very quickly for standard shipping. Thanks BUDK crew!!!
