    Excellent sword!

    Posted by Tony on Feb 23rd 2023

    This is sword is nothing short of beautiful!! One of the best looking out of the line up in my view. And its a great cutter too! If you're buying this, keep in mind, Ronin swords are much sharper than anything you could get locally, and this thing cuts like nothing else. And just for the few who may be buying their first sword, treat the edge like the edge of the razor. Respect the sword, wear protective gear, don't fool around, do not take it out if you've had a drink or two, it is a serious piece of hardware designed to cut things. Just keep that in mind! Optimal practice should be in a dojo environment or in a large yard, but not at home in a confined space. Thank you Ronin for another great piece (this is my 2nd purchase!).

    Great for the money

    Posted by Max Christian on Oct 3rd 2022

    Can't beat this sword for the money. Hamon is good looking and the polish is decent (very light rippling one one side only). Blade is pretty straight and feels lively in the hands. Ito wrap is decent with not too much movement. Fit was surprisingly tight on the entire sword. Nitpicking: The samegawa was cut a bit rough around the mekugi (easily trimmed) and the mekugi were in at a bit of an angle and the meguki needed to be trimmed slightly - again, easy fix. The only other issue was the sword doesn't want to seat all the way in the saya - it would seem the saya is a bit tight near the kojiri and the kissaki may be under slight pressure causing the sword to push out a bit. The koiguchi also needs a shim and I'm hoping this will also keep the sword form pushing out of the saya. The saya isn't very smooth when sheathing/unsheathing. I'm very happy with the sword at this price point - I believe you are getting allot and the important details have been taken care of. Ronin shipped fast and the whole experience was very positive. I'm definitely looking forward to purchasing a higher end Ronin katana in the future.

    Impressed

    Posted by Nathan on Oct 3rd 2022

    I've only had replicas in the past and finally wanted something I could use. This katana feels so sturdy and it comes about 60% sharp (definitely cuts but could be much sharper). For 140 bucks, you cannot go wrong here. It is made in China but it comes in a good packaging and seems very well made for the price you're paying. It came pretty fast too.

    Sharp, well-balanced, beautiful harmon. Swings nicely, has weight to it, but not too heavy. An excellent piece for the price. Fast shipping as well, very happy!

    Posted by Mitchell Lovaas on Jun 30th 2022

    I got my ronin #12 today and it was absolutely gorgeous it's so much lighter than my other katana and sharp as a razor right out of the box! I couldn't have asked for better for the price it stabs and cuts with ease and I'm very pleased will definitely buy again in the future

    A beautiful blade

    Posted by Rob Sandy on Jan 3rd 2022

    I’m still learning more about katanas and their use, but whether it’s for backyard cutting or hanging on the wall for decoration, this katana is well worth the price. Super sharp out the box and beautiful craftsmanship. I’m gonna buy another soon!
