“My one word summary: SUPERB. Did it cost more than I thought it would? Yes, slightly over my budget. BUT when it arrived, it was an amazing feeling to unbox it and feel it in my hands. Compared to what I have, it is way worth it. The attention to detail on the engravings is astounding, the performance of the sword has taken my breath away. I personally don't know much about the different terminology and all and Vali was very patient at guiding me and explaining to me so I could build the katana I wanted.”

“I have several nihonto and honestly, there is no difference in terms of performance. The balance and feel of the custom katana is even better as I get to choose everything from blade to hilt. I would love to see the addition of being able to design our own tsuba, fuchi, and kashira. Now that, would truly be mindblowing!”

“I ordered a custom katana after seeing their ad on facebook. No lies or disappointment, I am beyond ecstatic with every square inch of this sword. Besides looking good, I've tried practice cutting and the blade is extremely sharp. It feels like an extension of myself!”

“I was hesitant on spending more than expected on a custom katana but I have no regrets. Instead of having multiple low end swords, I highly recommend you save up for it and make the katana of your dreams come true!”

“Excellent quality and wonderful design. I have no exact words but, perhaps I can say that the design just flows seamlessly, and it performs beautifully. Unlike many swords I've came across, there was no rattling, everything felt like it was made extremely well. It feels like a luxury katana.”

“This is my first custom katana and I’m satisfied, it feels genuine and well balanced. Well made and looks like a piece of history. Only downside was the fedex since it can be a bit of hassle in my country but it was worth the wait.”

“Very very satisfied with my katana. The blade is beautiful and the craftsmanship is great. The blade is undoubtedly the show as the smiths at Shadow Dancer primarily focus on that. The fittings are great and work as they should, but they could be a little more refined and better on the hand and eye. Ut otherwise, this was a grear custom build. Its been so much fun building your own sword and having it come to you exactly as that.”
