Great blade
"Been wanting to buy a good katana for a while and found this for a decent price, so i snapped it up. The reddish black blade was an added bonus. If you want a nice simple blade, I highly recommend this one"

"I have over 20yrs in the arts and here's my review...Overall it's well made. 1060 is great steel however mine did not come sharp...had a very weak edge but I fixed easily to a razors edge being 1060 sharpens well. The blade itself is thicker and heavier then I would normally like but it is well balanced for a sword it's size and weight. This is a fully functional battle ready sword but is not a daily swinger due to its weight to weight ratio unless you are extremely muscular in the arms. Overall it's a $120 sword with a great solid build and tactical feel. Only real flaw is the barley sharp edge."
"This sword is hands down my go-to blade. I absolutely love it. There is one fatal flaw though, and it has nothing to do with the sword itself; it's the scabbard. Whoever designed it really dropped the ball. It's really loose and the blade rattles around like crazy. Anyone would be able to hear you approaching from a mile away. It can easily fall out. With the way it sits, if you were to slip it into your belt, it rides so high that the pommel would touch your collar bone. You pretty much have to get a different scabbard for this one"
"Over all build is great the saya is amazing but the blade grind was horrible , I spent more than 3 hours with a metal file to put a better profile, then a series of diamond stones to really bring the edge out . The fit n finish is wonderful, easy to draw and to line back up for liado, overall it’s amazing for the price"
