Sword is beautiful and comes very sharp. Packaging was excellent. I will trust these people for another sowed in the near future. Also their customer support is awesome. They really work with you to make sure you're happy.
I grew up Hawaii a mostly Asian culture and I have wanted a great Katana for about 24 years. I have been to Japan, South Korea and China. I have looked at many shops and I have always found cheap swords that weren't worth the time or money. This sword on the other hand, is worth every dime. It is solid, well made, and I am proud to have this in my house. I'm not hating on any other brand, I have just found this sword to be worth the price. Also the artwork done on all of the prieces of this katana are crafted well. I have already ordered a wakazashi and Tanto from Ryumon to have a complete set. I know I will not be disappointed.
This sword is a beautiful sword, and such a bargain. The Tsuba (hand guard) is absolutely gorgeous, the pommel is secured tightly, and the sword is extremely well balanced. The blade in beautiful as well, you can see that it's folded steel and mine came extremely sharp. The scabbard is nicely crafted and fits the sword perfectly. On the scabbard, the sageo and the kurikata are secured beautifully.
i am no sword expert(but i am up to 8 now!). i love this thing. i feel that i got a great sword for the price point. i will probably buy the matching wakizashi next.
Great Katana for the price. I like it, I wouldn't use it as a first line of defense in a battle but, I think it could hold it own due to the way it's built and the craftsmanship.
basically, if you know how to care for a sword or how to use them properly and not mistreat them, this one will last for a really long time. sharpness and durability, all amazing! i would definitely recommend this katana.
Beautiful wakazashi, well made well balanced, sharpened and polished. Blade is not only a beautiful display piece but also fully functional battle ready, definitely recommend to any blade collector.

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).
