How's the Blade?

How are the Handle and Fittings?

“I like that you can custom build your own sword to meet your budget. For the price it is very quality compared to other swords on the market. You can buy a fancy looking $400 sword on that has all the special effects and add ons but the blade is still dull and cheap steel, just a wall hanger that looks great is what you get from ebay or amazon. Here, I went with an entry level sword and made the sharpest cheapest build at swordis for $140, was a fun experience and a great deal, the sword cuts well and seems very balanced, especially for the price, it cannot be beat at that price. If you are looking for a great place to enter the hobby, this is the place to go. I also built a sword that is very expensive, might never afford it, but its on my wishlist.”

“Thank you so much for my first katana, I had to wait until Christmas to open it but I recieved it before then. The blade is a beautiful black, looks durable, strong and came sharp, oiled and well wrapped with the sword bag. The Saya is beautiful and the whole sword is a work of art. I look forward to cutting with it and taking care of it.”

“The sword was crafted a bit faster than expected and shipped way faster than expected, even with America being ridiculous with shipments right now. The sword is extremely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The blade comes with oil and protective wraps even inside of the saya. One of the most secure and cushioned sword shipments I've ever had with no damage to the box. I am excited and already planning my next sword.”

“i made a custom katana on swordis using the hanbon forge after doing a bunch of digging into them and finding mainly nothing but good about them and their swords. so since i always wanted a katana even as a kid, i decided to give them a chance. after about 2 weeks they sent me an email with pictures of the sword, i was ecstatic with joy, it looked awesome. i replied with how i thought of it and they shipped it off to me, got it about a week later. i have NO experence with with swords or katana's. but i have played with crappy stainless steel one's in the past that you really shouldn't be handling, this is definitly not one of those... this one is sharp and battle ready as per my design of the metals and such. they did a great job on it and i love it. even with practicing with it almost everyday, it's still feels awesome every time i handle it.”
