Fastest shipping I have ever seen! As a Martial arts practitioner and teacher, I am very critical of equipment used in our arts. This Katana however is one of the best made I have ever purchased outside of Nippon irregardless of price. Well balanced, correctly sharpened, handle wrapped to fit with "NO-SLIP-GRIP" and a no-mistakes wire wrap foundation on the handle. The blade has the beginnings of a true soul and can be bonded with by the owner. Domo sumimasen to ja mata BudK!

I enjoy this sword. I am a bleach freak so i call it my zanpaktou or however you spell it. i haven't chosen its name but anyways the sword is amazing. its beautiful and along with its beauty it is amazingly great feeling and i cut through things pretty easy from the box still needs to be sharpened a little.

This sword is very solid and well put together! Needs some work to put a sharp edge on but worth it. It is heavier than I thought it would be but feels good in your hand. I am glad I made the purchase when I did.

I have bought alot of swords over the years and i can honestly say that this sword is of top quality. The full tang makes a complete difference when being put to use; it sturdy and reliable unlike those pieces of crap with a steel pole connected to a metal plate. If you are looking for a blade that he can put to use this would be the one

Good sword overall in my opinion. Used it a few times on some softer materials (only because i wouldn't trust using it on hard woods/surfaces). Some simple sharpening made it easier to cut with, which wasn't a problem since i like sharpening things. I got this sword when it was priced at $40 which is a great price, even for a sword this good. Current price still makes it worth it, for sure. You Get What You Pay For, i always say. With my previous purchases through BudK, sometimes you get more than what you pay for.

So I placed an order for this Friday, too late for the order to process until yesterday....looking forward to it's arrival! Piece looks rather nice, though the 420 stainless construction has me weary, as it is a very low quality stainless alloy....unless they use 420HC. Can't wait to show it off though!

I purchased this sword as one of my first two. However I do know a bit about swords. To be honest, without taking it apart, it does NOT feel like full tang, due to a faulty handle design, but it is. The blade came reasonably sharp, but curved at the end to the left. When I sent it back I received another that's curve was not as noticeable, but is still there. Also that handle was secure to the tang. This sword makes a great show peace, sleek, simple and elegant. It also makes a good weapon if need be, but I would not rely on a weapon of this metal for everyday use. Who am I kidding though. We live in America; a gun is far more useful.

A verry nice sword for the money.Its put together rather well and it holds a decent edge.The hilt does losten up a bit with usage but its still not a problem.The leather and wire wrap construction ads to its appeal.

this sword is one of a kind for the price. i use swords in functional sword play instruction. the full tang construction makes it better and the fact that it is tempered, even moreso. the hilt loosens up some from shock absorbtion, yet due to it's construction being so good, it will not be a problem. keep up good work.
