Good material, solid, holds the blade well

Gift - Katana Holder

They have terrible communication. I’ve been trying to get information on my order for over a week now and no one can give me an update. They all keep telling me the same thing and now they’re not responding at all. I was so excited but the lack of communication and the worry about my order makes me very upset.

Customer photo review of Katana - Ghost of Tsushima: Jin Sakai's Blade 仁の刀(1060steel)

The katana arrived in perfect condition and looks even better than in the photos. The craftsmanship is excellent, the fittings are solid, and the blade is well finished. The packaging was secure, so everything arrived safely. The communication with the seller was good, although the shipping took a little longer than expected. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this store. Thank you!

I’m very pleased with my purchase, and I would order again. I would keep my expectations low on customer service, specifically contact and order status. Orders take a long time to arrive.

Customer photo review of Katana – T10 Clay Tempered Blade with Red Saya 緋炎

Yet again another sword which is so well made, the fit and finish is amazing and feels good in the hand and looks even better, took a little longer for delivery but I ordered two swords, this one and a demon slayer sword for my daughter. Really happy with both swords.

Katana – T10 Clay Tempered Blade with Red Saya 緋炎

I collect Japanese swords, different types and from different dates. I have one that I have is a "Wakizashi Short Sword by Masakuni" dated 1836. So, I have an idea about the craftsman ship of the original masters. Your sword, meets or exceeds what the masters made. Sincerely, C.B. Clement
