I don’t think you will find better for the price.
Not gonna lie, I purchased this for my 8, soon to be 9 year old son for Christmas. He became very interested in anime which sparked an interest in katanas, swords, and other weaponry. A katana was surprisingly the number one most wanted item on his Christmas list. I figured there was no harm in buying it for him because he’s proven an understanding of the katana, the potential dangers, and was not going to be unsupervised with it.I was very impressed with the packaging it arrived in. It was well packaged in a very sturdy long wooden box with a custom insert and styrofoam to hold it in place perfectly while in transit. Every single piece was wrapped in plastic. It was pretty satisfying unboxing this thing and peeling all the plastic off of it all.It’s very sharp. It would be super easy to sit down with this sucker and hone it until it’s scary sharp. It’s very hefty too. It’s heavy enough. This isn’t a toy. Not by any means. My son has been rough on the blame because he went right to work chopping down trees in the backyard with it. He’s sliced and diced all kinds of things. I can’t even tell you how many watermelons I sacrificed to the little guy and his gigantic sword. He had great fun with it though.The only things I have to point out are for one, the rope that came strung thru the scabbard has these little gold colored metal decorative details. I believe those are supposed to be glued or somehow attached to the loop on the scabbard because they fit perfectly in place. However they must not have glued or attached them properly because they are all loosey goosey, as you can see from my attached video. Secondly, the handle has a nice braided leather detail. It’s pretty and seems well done. It seems they put gold colored metal decorations on the handle and braided on top of them, securing them to the handle under the twisted leather-ish detail. You’ll see them in the video. There are also little wooden cork-ish spots that look like they were meant to be covered by the decorative handle detail. But I honestly have no complaints. I searched all over Amazon when searching for the right katana to buy and I highly doubt you will find a better one for this price.Ver másVer menos
