    Dojo Pro #12

    I saw something on FB about the Scratch & Dent Sale. So, I picked up my 1st Ronin Katana! So what is wrong? I will try to be very picky about these things. The saya needs to be shimmed as the katana falls out. There is a bit of saya rattle but nothing crazy. The samegawa doesn't touch the kashira & exposes about 2mm (3/32") of the wood handle/core. There is a 75mm (3") flat spot on the blade itself right in front of the habaki but it is the part of the blade that will never see usage for cutting. The blade is well coated with this waxy substance for rust prevention (while shipping?) & well, it's in the saya too. The more I draw (& clean), I am hoping that it will eventually go away. The good? The blade is straight & sharp. Enbd of story! On a personal note, not a fan of piano black lacquer used on the saya, much prefer matt black for finger print reasons!

    minimalist and tough - perfect first katana

    Posted by Alex B on Jan 23rd 2021

    The Dojo Pro Katana Model #12 is a value-oriented mid-range product focused on being as functional as possible for the price. The blade is excellent in terms of quality, balance, sharpness, niku and very tough. The bo hi makes the blade noticeably lighter and has a satisfying tachi kaze - sound of the air being cut. The koshirae are basic and plain, with limited decorative details, but not at all bad. It's comfortable to draw and hold. The ito wrap is very well done. Not my first katana but the one I wish I had bought first. The perfect beginners katana for someone who wants to be able to learn to cut. It's tough and it looks good.

    Fantastic for a first time katana buyer

    Posted by Gabriel on Dec 27th 2020

    Comes sharp enough to cut what it should, strong enough to survive hitting what it shouldn’t. No nonsense simple yet attractive design. It’s everything I could ask for as a starter to the whole sword hobby. The only issue I had is that the scabbard is easy to chip, but that’s not too much of a problem if you’re being careful as you should be.
