How's the Blade?
How are the Handle and Fittings?
“The sword is just okay for such a cheap price, but it is not great. First the cons: 1. The habaki doesn't fit in the koiguchi of the saya. The sword will not fully seat in the saya. The sword gets stuck, and is difficult to draw from the saya, as a result. Quality control should have noticed that problem easily. 2. The sword is dull, and I ordered a sharpened sword. That is a really simple quality control problem also. 3. The blade has a curve. It's very obvious. Probably a bad quench or heat treat caused the warp. Now the pros: 1. The overall construction appears solid, and there are no loose parts. Other than the cons stated, the rest of the order is correct. The shipping was insanely fast, and the product arrived undamaged. I would not recommend someone else to buy a sword, when the company cannot even get the basic order correct. I would not order again, knowing that the company has no quality control. I am disappointed in my order, but I don't want to risk sending it back and making it worse. I will have to spend my own time to try to fix the habaki not fitting into the saya. I will have to spend my own time to sharpen the blade. I cannot fix the warped blade. This is not ideal. If this had been a gift for someone, I would have been embarrased to give such a gift. This order was just a test to see if the company was any good with a basic order, and if I could buy more swords. I can tell the company does not inspect their product for accuracy, and I will not be buying from the company in the future.”

“I wanted a black blade so I went with the 1060 black. The blade is beautiful. The sharpness is adequate. Not the sharpest blade you can get, but far from dull, cuts everything fine. The fittings are very tight. I upgraded the wrap and the wrap is fantastic, black leather and as tight as it can get. The only issue I have is the saya is much too tight. If I drive it in, I need to use my rubber mallet to get it to come back out. This issue will no doubt resolve itself with use, or I could always take out a file, but I will give it time and allow it to correct itself.”

“I received my custom katana 2 days ago, and I can’t explain how much I adore it. The blade is so beautiful with the inscription of my choice, and the hamon really makes it more stunning. I would definitely recommend this custom katana instead of another one since you have the ability to do everything to your making. The customer service was amazing and I received answers to my questions so fast (Max 24 hours)”

“I got a few different swords from the Hanbon builder. Happy with all of them, through worth knowing that Shobu blade I got was sharp on both sides. Fun but unexpected. The other blades from different geometries are all well made, have a nice polish, and feel solid in the hand. The fittings are alos more detailed than expected.”
