Well Balanced
I was surprised at how well balanced and light the Katana was. Lived up to all the reviews seen on YouTube...!

RK#17
My sword arrived 3 days after ordering. Arrived well packed and slathered in some kind of waxy grease that is very difficult to get off. All over the saya, segeo what a mess. It came razor sharp with tight fittings. Ito could have been tighter. All in all I'm absolutely satisfied. I would definitely purchase again. Almost forgot, the tempering process went kind of weird, cuz it appears to have two hamon lines on both sides of the blade. I'm sure I could polish out the secondary line, it isn't very prominent. And the saya fit is surprisingly excellent.

RK #17
I received the sword today after waiting 3 days. Super fast shipping. It arrived well packaged and full of waxy grease that I'm still trying to get off of everything. It came razor sharp. All fittings are tight. Ito wrap could be a little tighter, but I have seen much worse I would definitely buy another one.

RK #17 entry level
For the price everything is well in order. This is my first sword and lemme tell ya what a feeling it is having one in your hands. It immediately demands respect. Sharper than I ever expected. I'm going to take that edge to another level with a whetstone. Highly recommend this katana especially for entry level. Not much to say other than thank you Ronin Katana

A nice piece for the price
I’m not as confident about the things I could cut with this compared to my dojo pro series katana, but factoring in the price, I am quite satisfied with this purchase. It did definitely carry out the obligatory destruction of the shipping box it came in with no issues. If you want one that looks cool, are new to sword collecting, and/or balk at the price of the dojo pro or elite katanas, this is one for you.
