Before commenting on the Katana, I want to state that the customer service on this site is extremely good, friendly and always available! I purchased this Katana a few months ago and, as happy as I am to own it, I haven’t been able to use it for training yet! Generally this Katana is to be considered as a fantastic sword, from the materials to its forging and assembly. The details of the silver and gold ornaments stand out directly to the eye and are impeccable! The blade is straight and features a fantastic Hamon! Unfortunately, if we want to be meticulous, we could say that the sharpening is quite perfect but there are super small burrs on one side of the blade. Furthermore, the Fuchi has some “shades” of the material and I hope it does not discolor with time. On the other hand though, considering the modest price for such a beautiful Katana, I am EXTREMELY HAPPY with this purchase and HIGHLY recommend it.
