I asked for a very custom sword. It was better than expected. Only issue was a loose Saya which was easily addressed. The Tariff drama made for an adventurous trip. Definitely recommend.

I had ordered a custom Katana, my very first sword to own, something i dreamt of owning since being a kid and Swordis and Hanbon Forge allowed to me fulfill my dream and to fulfill it in a customized and affordable way. When i finally held the blade in my hands, i was at a loss for words, being overjoyed and marvelling at the gorgeous craftsmanship. In my eyes, going with Hanbon Forge is perfect for being a starter, blades to decorate or those to cut with, your choose and they make you a piece of Art.

I was very impressed with the quality of the sword. The handle wrap is very tight, the blade is sharp but not razor sharp which is a good thing i believe. Great price and deal for a custom sword. I doubt you will find such quality for as low a price as this. Good customer service they replied to me promtly. I definetly recommend. The blade isn't 100% perfect it does has a little nicks covering the very edge about 1 inch of the 28 in blade. Hardly noticable and i can just polish it out when I get the chance. Fittings are exactly what I ordered and look beautifull. The sheath is beautiful however it's VERY tight too tight so when I store it I don't put it all the way in or it will get stuck.

I have kinda just one thing I want to bring up: The yokote feature is described as, and I quote, "creating a visual and _physical_ separation.", and I had to pay extra for it, and for it to even then turn out to be the cheap grind trick illusion that does not create the physical separation as a real yokote line does is very disappointing. Oh and the handle pins seem excessively long? They not in the way at all when holding it but especially on the left side could've been about 2 millimeter shorter easily so to be less noticeable
