The shipping was fast- I believe it was at my door 5 days from when I placed the order.
As for the katana, the Saya is plastic and the blade is aluminum, making it extremely light weight and easy to wield. I've only had it for a day and done some basic drawing/drills with it. Admittedly I am concerned about how it will hold up to even light contact, so time will tell.
For now I am happy with it, but the price does seem high for a practice weapon (based on the plethora of "sharp" edged, and probably poor quality, weapons I could have gotten for a fraction of the price). If I can get a couple years of use out of it, I'd say it was worth it.

Very happy with the item. The design is beautiful. Arrived in perfect condition. Really impressed with how well crafted this sword is!

I was worried about problems with the sword being imported into Japan, which is very strict regarding it's laws on swords, but there were surprisingly no problems at all!

Thank you very much. I'm very proud to be the owner of such a beautiful looking sword.

Handmade Japanese Katana And Tanto Sword Set With Blue Blade

Like its companion sword, I bought this one with the intention of using its koshirae on another project. However, when it arrived I found myself rather impressed with the construction. While I'm not a fan of bohi, the blade feels quite solid and has some interesting activity. The fittings are of good quality and the hardwood gives it a unique look. All said, for the money I think this sword is a very good buy!
