I bought two katanas and they showed up really quick, almost sharpened, beautiful craftsmanship. They sharpen well, cut well, and carry well. I will be back to pair them with a nice couple of wakizashis
Item description on the website states “battle ready,” “manganese steel,” and we paid $189 for this katana.
We received the katana and the shipping labels themselves states that this was a “decorative iron sword,” worth “$89.”
We were disappointed even though we knew for less than $200, we’d be most likely getting a decorative katana, I just though the company would be more honest in their item description.
Next time, I’ll find a legit shop for purchasing a higher-end katana.
Hubs is satisfied with it however, and it is a solid decoration.
