Solid
I wanted the number 1 for a number or reasons, its looks being one, but also I wanted to see what the debut katana looked and felt like up close. Ronin definitely put their best foot forward. Solid feel, exactly as advertised, razor sharp, just beautiful all around. Fits my style and personality exactly. I shopped around extensively, and I'm positive you just can't beat Ronin. Couldn't be happier, can't wait to get more!
