I have absolutely LOVED every actual katana I have purchased from you and I love these unsharpened ones too! They're perfect to keep up practice without damaging my kickboxing stand on the off chance I miss. Cool swords! Thank you!

I really like this particular unsharpened katana. I went the unsharpened route to avoid damaging my kickboxing stand I practice swings with sometimes and am happy with the weight distribution as it's a bit lighter feeling than some of the sharpened katanas I've used in the past. This makes me want another for my other hand which I'll probably get at some point.
Thanks!
P.S. I wish you still had an Amazon store (maybe I'm missing it) so I can add your stuff to my wishlist

Decent for the money. Had to glue some stuff back together, but not a huge deal. Good enough for training purposes and is sufficiently whimsical.

Product has been received. Not on the 7th as reported but close. I believe the 9th was the date received. It was received in good shape and was as expected.
Thank you.

The ordering process and the shipping were quick, and while the katana is nicely weighted, I have to admit that I'm a little disappointed in the quality of the piece. It doesn't slide easily out of the Saya and there are rough, somewhat unfinished edges on the Tsuba. As a secondary training sword, it'll be fine, I guess.

The katana is good-looking. Is too light for my personal preferences. I had to glue the small metal ring on the top side where the waist string runs through. It came off very easy. The blade as it is aluminum bends easily. In my opinion, it needs to be thicker and wider. That will make not bend so easily and give it more weight. Overall I am satisfied even though it is on the expensive side when it comes to the cost and came with no sword cover or bag.

Paint on the katana blade was scratched and after a few draws from the plastic Saya it received more scratches. The koiguchi was incredibly tight.
Other than that it arrived quickly and will make a good practice katana. It feels good in the hand.
Next time I would not get the painted blades.

I bought this sword just to have something I could practice difficult twirls and fast draws with. I didn't want to risk getting injured using my real sword which is a competition cutting sword (a Last Legend Tsunami). And now that I am getting older and have arthritis, I need to be more carful.
This sword was better than I expect, but you need to know some things about it before you buy.
The blade is 28 1/4" long and the tsuka is 10 3/4" long which I am happy about. I like an 11" handle and a 29" or 30" blade. So this one is short but feels good to use.
They talk about balance with swords, but in the 40 years I have used them, I think it is more a question of weight. Swords that are heavy seem to be out of balance more than lighter ones. Anyway, this sword is so light that balance doesn't matter. You can hardly feel it compared to a cutting blade.
The saya is plastic. It looks and feels like a wooden saya but it's not. The problem is that the blade clunks around and makes a lot of noise when you put the sword away. You can control that a lot by how you put it away. Just press the back side of the blade downward against the opening as you push it in and that cuts out most of the noise. The habaki hits the mouth of the saya and that is were most of the noise comes from, but if you press the back of the blade down and push the tip up as you reach the end, it will go in nicely. It just takes getting used to.
I was disappointed that the same isn't real like the ad claimed, but for the price, I don't mind. I am going to rewrap it and replace the synthetic same anyway. As for the handle wrapping, it's not bad. It's not high quality silk or even cotton, and so it feels kind of rough. But it does stay in place and the diamonds are mostly even. The ito doesn't come apart from use so if you are not really picky, the handle is fine. The length is a little longer than they told me it would be.
The blade is really good. I had an expensive (2K) dull katana many years ago. It was really high quality, but it was too small for me so I sold it after 20 years. The blade on this sword compares with that one. It looks about the same and feels about the same. I really like it.
For the money there is nothing wrong with this sword. I like it. But I like expensive swords and want them to be perfect. So if I like it, most likely you will too. Just be aware that you might want to upgrade the tsuka or even the saya. I ordered a wooden saya for mine and once I replace the same with real same and wrap the handle, I think I will love this sword.

As far as I have seen and felt it’s a beautiful sword! I’m planning on using it for a couple of tournaments where actual bladed weapons are not allowed.

I love my sword! Great for Iaido or Kenjutsu training!
Pros:
-Hamon is beautiful
-Makes a nice swooshing noise
-Nicely balanced around the tsuba
-Exactly as described!
Cons:
-Ito wrapping could be tighter and cleaner
-Overall, a little too light for me.

Great practice sword. Few minor cosmetic issues, but it's a practice sword that is likely to get nicked up anyway. Would purchase again.

Item received as described. A bit of extra hassle and expense due to shipping out of USA but not unduly tardy. First impression is that it’s what I wanted: an aluminum training iaito with decent fittings. Looks real but is blunt so you won’t chop thumb off learning how to return sword to saya. Feels light but solidly made, eg doesn’t flop around, bend, or wriggle inside the (real or well simulated) rayskin wrap. It’s a fraction of the cost of a practice katana at the local sword shop, and not an easy object to find in the first place.

This aluminum katana is amazing. I choreograph fights in the film industry and this is a light and safe blade for my stunt performers and actors!

Very well built, very easy to use for Iaido. The only thing I was surprised on was that the Habaki had a lot of wear on it which was strange for a new item but it doesn’t affect the use of the sword in any way.
