Good day, I have ordered this Katana December 23rd 2013, I have just received it (Jan 16). I live in Canada. When they say fast shipping it’s true. This Katana is simply AMAZING and I couldn’t be more satisfied about this blade. It’s a piece of art. Well wrapped and certificate in the box. I strongly suggest this company, great customer service. I even had the chance to talk directly to the Kinzan and he explained me the forging process and the geometry. I have talked a lot to resellers in Canada and US before I choose to by from Skyjiro, at this price I wanted to be sure. Every resellers had the same opinion on the quality of these pieces. Now that I have it in my hands, it’s even better looking than from the pictures on the web. Cheers Skyjiro, great job!.

Just received my Skyjiro Kaiyou sword. It’s beautiful and feels awesome, like it was made for me ! Luckily, I received Kayou just in time for an upcoming tamashigiri class. Kaiyou cut like a hot knife through butter! It was like I needed no power in my cut. All that was needed was to just swing effortlessly. I’m excitedly waiting for my iaito “Moko Musashi Folded” to arrive. Also, will be buying a 3rd sword very soon. So happy with not just the sword(s), but with the service from Skyjiro is phenomenal as well !
