Another great product from RK
This was my second sword purchased. And RK continues to deliver. Bought the matching Wakizashi and they do look fantastic together. The Kurigata had came loose during transport (this can hardly be blamed on RK), but this was fixed by some simple glue (though you can see the small crack in the lacquer if you look closely).
