1045 clay temp katana #8
All fittings were tight. Handle wrapping is very tight. Blade came as sharp as a good kitchen knife. I was able to get clean cuts on the box it was shipped in. The scabbard held the sword tight when “locked” all the way in. Finish was solid on the scabbard. Blade polish was good. No blemishes. Hamon was visible, yet relatively faint compared to other swords. Hi-bo executed well. Overall I am very impressed, I expected much lower quality for the price.
