“Went for a more low profile yet straight cutter, wanted something with 9260 steel, added in a note last minute of widening the single fuller to reduce the weight. Definitely delivered an amazing piece to the detail.”

“Sword seems well made and everything was fitted well. Only reason it did not receive 5 stars was because i requested the blade to be extra sharp and it was not sharp at all.”

“I used the custom builder to pick out everything on the sword. Before they shipped the sword to me, Swords told me the sword Smith had installed the wrong habaki on the blade and if I wanted it changed to the one I ordered it would be another week or so to replace. I said it was okay , just ship me the sword. I also paid extra $30.00 dollars for an extra sharp blade. When it arrived to me the sword looked great, but you could not slice a peice of paper with it. Clearly not even regular sharp. So I ask for a $30.00 dollar refund and they wanted a video showing that its not sharp. So more or less called me a liar. You don't need a video to understand that it would not slice a piece of paper held in one hand and slice or cut it with the other hand. So I will not do anymore business with this company. I rolled the dice and lost. Good luck if you use this company.”

Hello! We’ve already reached out and issued a refund for your order. We understand this was a miscommunication, and we truly appreciate your patience. The reason we asked for a video is that we’ve had 2–3 similar cases recently, and we’d like to share the details with the smith to make sure situations like this don’t happen again. This way, we can improve our process and ensure a smoother experience for you and other customers in the future.

“I really appreciate the attention to detail and the sword was worth the wait! The fit and finish of how it all comes together is simply masterful. The folded steel and hand ground edge was so sharp, that it passes the paper slice test. The balance of the blade made weilding it feel effortless and when I cut pieces of my elderberry bush in my backyard, the slices felt little resistance to the incredibly sharp blade. I really think this sword is a functional work of art, and I would not pass on this sword maker!”

“This is the first Katana I have purchased. The pictures I recieved prior to shipping do not do justice. The sword is beatiful. The wrap is tight and everything seems to fit correctly. The only complaint I do have is when I am trying to resheath the sword it gets hung up with about 2 inches left. I have to pull the sword out a bit and it takes a few tries to have it seat properly. I have not had the opportunity to attempt any cuts. I would leave 5 stars if it didnt get hug up in the saya.”
