I used this sword at training for the first time tonight, performed well. The tsuka is superbly wrapped, can’t be faulted. Excellent weight and balance. Mirror polish and very, very sharp, cutting was effortless. Habaki and koiguchi fit nicely. Saya is good, nicely finished. Like the fact that the sageo was not tied. All round good purchase for the price, very happy!

I got this sword today, and with a quick glance, appears to flawless. It truly is a beautiful sword. Upon closer look, there is a crack along the seam of the saya towards the end. It’s a bummer, but no sword is truly perfect. Now the quality of the sword is great for that price. A nice hamon, but little hard to see without good lighting. The koshirae are extremely great, I love the design.
Anyways, this was my first sword from SkyJiro, and you impressed me. I might order again from you in the future.

I bought one of these two years ago and the quality is insane. I have a you tube video of cutting a five gallon bucket. This is an excellent beginner for cutting tatami. I looking forward to purchasing a higher quality product from them as my skill progresses. Thank you skyjiro.
