Dojo Pro Katana Model #10 ko katana

I recently ordered a Kodachi (Ko-Katana) from Ronin Katana. Whenever I buy swords, I hate the standard gloss finish that most Saya's have. I figured this sword would be a good opportunity to adjust a Saya to my preference. My intent was to refinish the Saya to not have the gloss finish on it, so it would be easier handle when practicing Iai and when my dojo does Tameshigiri. (Satin finish with a grey driftwood like stain) Once I received it I started refinishing the Saya. About halfway through my project i realized the blade that I ordered was bent to a significant degree close to the habaki. I emailed asking to do an exchange, but feared that they wouldn't exchange the product because I started my Saya refinishing project. So I attempted to re-restore the Saya back to normal, which was a disaster involving large amounts of spray paint lacquer, lots of sanding and sanding and eventually led to me giving up. I contacted Ronin and told them the situation, and I was lucky that they were willing to an equal exchange (they would replace the blade and send back my Saya that I worked on). I just received the sword back today and I couldn't have asked for a better exchange. The blade is completely strait and is in great condition. I highly recommend Ronin Katana for moderately priced blades for Iai and Tameshigiri. Very sharp, very well put together and the staff were amazing.

My first order, but not my last. The sword is better than any I have had at this price point. I am a little bit in awe of it. Ronin also shipped in record time. I couldn't be happier. Merry Christmas!

My wife LOVES her sword! She has become interested in Iaido (I bought a dull sword for Iaido) and practices ninjitsu and needs a sharp sword. This sword was has what she needs: good steel, good price, right length. She is thrilled.

A great ko katana for the price. My only complaint is the Tsuka is too long for the Nagasa (blade). I wish Ronin made a 25cm (just under 10 inch) Tsuka option. The Tsuka ito is moderately tight, with no Saya rattle, and the blade slides in and fit's great. This is my 3 katana from Ronin and I will be purchasing more in the future.

This Katana is so awesome that I had to buy another! If I could only grab one blade, this would be the one!!! She’s not a safe queen, but she definitely knows how to dance!!

This is my first Ko Katana. I really couldn't find anything wrong with it, except the ito could be a bit tighter. The tsuka came off like it should, with no wood cracks. Blade is paper cutting sharp. Overall I am very pleased with this one. I did look at several other different brands. Ronin is the best buy far for a Ko Katana.

Well made. Nice tight silk wrap on the Ito. Iron fitting and Tsuba. The handle has a nice taper to it. This is a quick and easy to handle blade. I have not had a chance to do any cutting with it yet, but it feels great in the hand in practice.

Beautiful and well made, I really like this piece. Great for close quarters, but with a 24" blade, it's just a little shorter than I'd like. If this was 26-27", it'd be practically perfect.

Best sword l own can't wait to purchase another.
