Nice solid blade. Arrived quite sharp and with a bit of oil applied which is nice. Only flaw is the blade fits quite tightly into the shirasaya (scabbard) right at the tsuba but nothing a bit of light sanding won't fix (which i plan to do). Nice beginner iadio training blade, it also looks beautiful in person.
Sword arrived to me with a broken scabbard and a bent blade. The item was clearly crushed in transport but the packaging was a little styrofoam of around the handle of the katana and a tri-folded cardboard box. It clearly needed more packaging to be shipped.
I love it, it is amazing and handles really well
