Rk #11
I realy like this sword everything is Nice and tight fuchi kashira tsuba and habaki dont move at all the blade is Nice and straight and the ito it's realy tight for katana on that price and i like the real hamon

Okay
Perhaps I missed something in the description; but this sword arrived too dull to cut even a banana successfully. Also has significant saya rattle. Beautiful sword aesthetically but disappointing to need sharpening straight from the box. Unless I missed where it says it isn't sharp.

Pretty good honestly
For the money even with the shipping, the sword it self is very well made and nice tho there are some cons being: blade came very very slightly bent, the habaki doesnt move around but theres noticeable gap between it and the blade. pro: extremely nice fittings and tightness with minimal rattle. Blade it self is very nicely polish and hamon is perfect.

Amazing!!
This is my first Katana and it's so beautiful! I love the tsuba design, and the wrapping is perfect. At first I thought the blade was HUGE, but then I learned how to use it correctly, now I'm getting used to it.

AMAZING FEEL/QUALITY
This katana is absolutely amazing for an entry level katana. Im excited to see and feel the quality of my next katana. I will definitely be buying more in the future

Rk in general, and understanding reviews
This katana is fantastic for test cutting. Very well made, and a pretty good pob. I mainly study HEMA, and I have the rk euro 7 too. I have to say that all the greenhorn noobs who give RK 4 star reviews or less, are pretty stupid and should be overlooked because they have no idea what they're talking about. Anyone who starts a review by saying "this is my first sword" or "I'm new to buying swords" - ignore their review because pretty much everything that follows is ignorant garbage with stupid gripes since they have no experience.

Nice katana.
I have to say that I am very much pleased with this #11 katana. The fit and finish is very nice and well worth the price and will exceed your expectations for a entry level katana. It came nicely sharp and the hamon is really nice and visible which makes you want to show it off. You can't go wrong with this or any of the offerings that Ronin katana offers. I will be purchasing yet another in the future.

SAMURAI SWORD CLAY TEMPERED KATANA MODEL #11
For the price, and the price point this katana is in, this gets 5 stars, at least the particular one I received. The fit is great, no loose tsuka as of yet, not too much rattle in the saya, The ito wrap is pretty tight and the diamond patterns are very consistent. The katana is very light and feels almost like a toy, due to its lightness, but it definitely is not. As a starter katana to learn kenjutsu, this katana is a great value. Ronin Katana, please bring back the hammer forged katanas.

Katana 11
Great quality and sharp. No wobble , no play. Very nice for the price. If you want a katana to cut with, this is a great start.
