Great product.
Overall great quality, but some minor defects. The blade it not completely straight; it curves slightly to the left. Also, the tsuba is slightly bent. However, I'm still very happy with the purchase.
I really loved my katana. It gave me strength in my spiritual really great job. I’ll still buying here.
Feels great in my hands, shipped very quickly and is everything I wanted
I ordered this as my first sword and was not disappointed at all! It looks exactly how it does in the photos and is very sturdy and sharp. I love everything about it. 10/10!
I received my very first Katana as a birthday gift, and was truly surprised. It was so exciting to reveal this forged piece of steel into a work of art. It may only be a display piece but I've just enjoyed looking at it. Thanks for an awesome gift.
Great quality and appearance! I’ve bought many katanas in the past and I have to say, this is definitely one of the best and definitely lowest pricing in terms of quality.
The sword was nice and sharp, also I’m not a bot
The day I received my Katana I went for a walk in the woods with it and very much enjoyed it. Cutting the thistle vines was great and the sword seemed to have life. When I would cut a relatively tough vine the sward felt like it had a kink in it, like a hickey on the blade and after a while it would go away, like the katana healed from the trauma.
It’s an amazing sword with good quality and it’s super strong! My bf absolutely loves it!
I love it
Very sharp, well made and came in a reasonable time frame. The blue one (TK-JP-G10003) on the top came with a lot of oil on the blade but can be easily cleaned off.
The picture didn't really capture the blue color very well due to the lighting but has it has a tinge of purple in it.
Very pleased with the purchase
The sword was very sharp, but hilt was scratched up other then that I think the sword is worth more then What you pay
Love it nice and built right just like my practice one
The katana is so cool and actually sharp
Good quality, was not disappointed.
looks amazing very sharp
I love it. It’s my first katana, and actually ended up being much bigger and heftier than I expected. Very sharp, haven’t tested it under much pressure though. - I made a second purchase of a short tanto sword, and excited to get it.
Oh and my order shipped the same day I ordered it on a Thursday, and arrived at my home the next day.
I don't know squat about katanas but the site was very helpful. I bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. Now many of his friends and karate students want one too, so expect more business from Louisville. Once again, you get what you pay for.
I'm only starting to learn about swordmaking and this is my first purchase. It's a great sword it came exactly as pictured. There is a bit of (wood?) Peeking out through the handle that looks like it may have been drilled or should have been covered better but it's hardly noticeable.
Much heavier than I anticipated which makes it feel strong in your hands.
The website advertises them as being battle ready legitimate swords but it came with a tag saying for display purposes only not for actual use, or something to that effect. Which is confusing and slightly disappointing.
The main thing is its a beautiful, solid sword. The black blade is gorgeous and the point is very sharp. The edge itself could stand to be sharper as advertised but it's very good overall.
For the price it's a fantastic starter sword and I plan on adding more to my collection in the future!
It was great
Goodn
Amazing sword, beautiful black blade, came very fast and very sharp! Have not tried it against objects yet.
Great sword. I like it a lot. It is very sharp, meaning that it is certainly not a replica…I already have those…and I can certainly tell the difference in quality!
Sharp, clean, looks great, feels great. Exactly what I wanted
Super fast delivery, and great quality. Very happy.
Was skeptical at first but sword came in and looked nice
Very nice :)
Very happy with this. This is my first real katana as well and even thinking about possibly getting another in the future.
Its great quality and didn't even realise there was a dragon on the handle which made it even better but the only bad side is that you can see little wood pieces sticking out but not very noticeable and the hilt was a little dirty but otherwise great sword.
