The first thing I did when i got it was a paper test, after i wiped off all the oil/wax it was coated in for storage/shipping. it cut well, then reoiled it. There was a few scuffs on the blade up near the point but they didn't really concern me, I took off the handle to see the full tang, and getting the bamboo pegs out was sort of a difficult task for the first time, they were in there tight, and getting the handle away from the tsuba was very hard because of how tight it is, (same goes for putting it back on). all in all, a very well made sword, beautifully decorated tsuba, i looked at a lot of different functional swords 200 dollars and less before I decided on this one, and I'm happy I did. even with the scuffs, I still look forward to getting a display stand and displaying this thing. There is a tiny dent on the front tsuba guard, (the piece between the tsuba and the blade that can't even be removed (at least I couldn't)) however it's so small it's hardly noticable unless the light hits it just right, so it doesn't bother me.
Gave as a birthday gift for my son's 10yr old BFF. He LOVED it. I know, it's not a toy, but it's pretty much indestructible and used under supervision, it's awesome!

Just received this and did a few chops on some cardboard and was impressed. The Stainless Steel is very solid and feels like a regular Carbon Steel one(weight wise).
I bought this as a gift for my brother, having a few other damascas and 1060 carbon swords of my own that i maintain regularly. Im a little jealous, this sword is beautiful, balanced and strong, durable and sharp.
I purchased this for a friend of mine as a gift. The hammon is real and beautiful, the sword is solid, and much more beautiful in person than in pictures. My friend is most pleased and his co workers are jealous. A quality sword, handmade, and a reasonable price. I only wished there was a matching wakizashi... please Ryumon consider putting out a matching wakizashi please please
Quick shipping, sharp, nice hamon. The blade is straight and the fittings are tight. Slices through everything I put in front of it and no chips or bends in the edge. Good fit in thr siaya, for the price I dont think you could get a better sword.
This is perfect. Its made with nice strong damascus steel. They didn't over do it on the oil they put on the blade its not to heavy, and its well balanced. Its a high quality sword for an affordable price.
Blade as far as I can tell is a good quality-more practical than fancy. The sheath fits well. not the best quality but it does the job. the hsndgusrd is pretty plain,and the only thing that bothered me is the pommel feels like plastic although it is quite well attached.
