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!.

My Katana is a work of art that is masterfully crafted with impeccable specifications. I went with the 30 inch blade length with BoHI. This comes with the 12 inch Tsuka. Weight (without Saya) is 2lbs.& 5 3/8oz. The balance feels wonderful. I could not be more pleased!

What kind of Hamon does the Mikado Class Taka (Hawk) come with? I am partial to the sambonsugi type or something very similar. Also do you make Nagasa around 27” ?
skyadmin –
Yes we can do that
Carl Sampogna –
What is the type of Hamon that is on the picture of the Taka Hawk?

I have been wanting this sword for three years and finally pulled the trigger. It was a week late getting here (guess that’s what happens when you place your order right before a nationwide blizzard) but worth every penny and hour! This blade is a true masterpiece and the perfect crown jewel to my collection! What a work of art, thank you SkyJiro
