I was sent a dull sword and I am unable to contact them. “They are unable to receive messages right now”. I relied on good reviews to guide my decision. It looks pretty and seems solid, but it is not sharp.

Back to update my review. We had a wonderful gentleman who contacted us and emailed at least once a week until our katana arrived. It is beautiful! I can't wait until our friend sees it for his birthday. Now I have to get my husband one lol.

Needed an iaito with a 30”+ blade. Couldn’t find one reasonably priced until I found the Shadow Dancer Iaito on Swordis.com. Didn’t realize it was a semi-custom order but swordis customer support was on point in answering my concerns and questions. The iaito was just what my ryuha recommended and the sword has excellent tachikaze. I’m the only one in class who can be consistently heard besides the sensei. Would highly recommend for any beginner to mid-level practitioner who is not ready to spend a fortune.

My sword came in today with a certificate of authenticity and absolutely everything I asked for it was perfect sizing the materials were on point. The wrap is tight and I got the sword as a memorial peace for my grandfather that passed away recently he loved swords and knives and history and I was able to make this custom katana with all the details to represent him the forging process took a minute which is totally understand for a custom sword made with care thank you for my sword at the extremely low price that was at for such a work of art

Bought a custom katana. Wasn’t super sharp, but looks beautiful. It is my first ever sword, so I don’t really know what to expect when buying swords, but I am very happy with it overall.

I bought a beautiful dragonfly katana by Bugei. For $1,200 my expectations on quality were high. I received it in 10 days as it was “in stock”. The sword is so well made, the beauty and custom craftsmanship exceeded my expectations by far. The Tsuka Ito, Fuchi and Kashira are extremely tight and uniform. The folded steel blade is gorgeous, very sharp, and a pronounced gunome hamōn. Well done! I specifically ordered the 29 inch blade, slightly heavier, and also because the Tsuka has an overall length of 13 inches (33 cm) but the beautiful full length Bōhi helps to reduce weight and balance. Thank you Swordis and Bugei

I ordered a custom sword costing me over $3000. It was supposed to take 3 to 6 months to complete. It took over a year for it to even ship. After countless emails of issues, we were finally after a year able to begin the shipping process. Not only did they not update the shipping address and send it to the wrong location. But when I was able to finally get it, it is subpar quality for what I paid. Not only did I spend the extra $800 to get a proper scabbard (saya) and also pay extra for the custom saya fit. Out of all the issues that this sword has had in this whole process, not counting all the other issues with the sword and the custom fittings and the steel and the excuses. But I would at least expect the custom saya fit to actually be implemented. The scabbed doesn’t even stay on the sword. It falls off whenever I pick it up and it constantly rattles with any movement. All in all I had high expectations and I understand that complications arise, but I would at least expect the scabbard to fit the sword when you pay that type of money.

Hi Colin, we've already reached out to you privately to resolve this and we're waiting to hear back. On the timeline: the tool steel you ordered is exceptionally difficult to forge and temper — narrow working window, high rejection rate — and these delays became common enough that we removed it from our custom builder. The urushi saya was the second factor; urushi cures in many thin layers and humidity directly affects cure time, which can stretch the schedule by months. On the shipping address: the address on file changed after the initial order was placed, which is why the package went to the previous one. That said, we should have caught it before dispatch. The saya not fitting properly is also on us — a custom-fit saya that rattles isn't a custom-fit saya. In our email we've offered instructions to fix the saya rattle, plus a partial refund or a return for a replacement. Custom sword builds don't always go as smoothly as we'd like, and when they don't, our priority is making it right for the customer. Thank you for your understanding!

The fittings are rock solid. No rattling, no loose parts just a perfectly assembled piece of functional art.

The balance on the European longsword I ordered is perfect. It feels much lighter in the hand than it looks.

I was pleasantly surprised by the weight. It’s heavy enough to feel real but balanced enough to be nimble.

Fantastic customer experience. I found the same sword cheaper on another site and contacted SwordIs about it. They honored the price difference and refunded me $89 without any hassle
