How's the Blade?

How are the Handle and Fittings?

“My first Unokubi Zakuri blade and I love it, it’s super light with the bohi and Unokubi Zakuri shape and moves around easily and swiftly. All the fittings in the sword are tight, same goes with the Ito which i got hishigami pro on and it is solid. The Saya uas not rattle and is slightly tapered which is nice. Overall the build quality is very nice along with it being a tough spring steel. Very good buy!”

“I purchased this because I wanted a sword to practice cutting with and I found this particular blade shape appealing. For the price I feel the fit and finish is very nice and well worth it. The buying experience was excellent.”

“Shadow Dancer has developed a positive reputation and this sword is a good example of why. This katana is very well made. Mine has hishigami and the ito is very tight, and the fittings are well done. The sword is light, fast, and cuts well. If you want a katana for daily practice, or backyard cutting this is a great option. 9260 is an excellent steel for people who want a katana focused on value and practical usage instead of the aesthetics of hamons, metal patterns, etc. and Shadow Dancer does a good job executing the Unokobi Zukuri blade shape.”
