“I ordered this katana before the shadow dancer lite option. The only thing that wouldn't be available, is the 12in tsuka. Hishigami pro silk ito is very tight even around the menuki. The saya has no rattle and has a great fit. Transitions are near perfect. My only complaint is the korigata spacing is off, it's about 14mm to close to the tsuka. I also wish I would've chose a better polish.”

“I received my custom katana after about 6 weeks. The artisans did an excellent job, as the sword arrived exactly as I specified. The taper on the blade is great, the balance and weight is right where you’d want it. The fit and finish is superb for the price point. The blade could have been a little sharper, but was easy to touch up. David’s communication throughout the whole process was great; the smiths initially used the wrong samegawa but it was promptly communicated and I was presented with several options on how to proceed. I highly recommend this katana builder.”
