Scratch and Dent Dojo Pro Katana Model #22 ko katana

This is my 3rd Dojo-pro, and my 2nd Ko-katana. I purchased a #31 O-katana first and I love at as much now as the day I bought it. Second purchase was a model #10 Ko-katana. It was something of an impulse buy because I just liked the tsuba. Everyone seems to prefer the Ko-katana for cutting so I decided to buy another. The red saya and the tsuba both look beautifully sinister to me. I was already searching for a katana with a 30" blade so when I saw that the Dojo-pro #14 had the same tsuba and gorgeous red saya I pulled the trigger and bought both at the same time. If you're looking for a light, fast, fun little sword that looks good, performs well, and won't wear you out or break the bank I believe that Ronin Katana are as good as it gets. Customer service... I always have to give credit to the people at Ronin Katana for their "above and beyond" approach to customer service. If there's something you're looking for and they can get their hands on one, they're going to. If you have questions, even silly ones, you'll get a prompt, courteous reply. Read my other reviews... The crew has happily helped me make every purchase, and I know I can be tedious. They take everything in stride and maintain a superior level of professionalism. I suggest buying your katana here. You won't regret it.

I received this sword in only a few days after ordered it. I examined it carefully to try to see why it had been discounted. On one side of the blade there are three or four very slight scratches, virtually unnoticeable. The sword sits tightly in its sheath, which is pristine. This is not the first s&d sword I have ordered from Ronin Katana, and it certainly will not be the last.

Very impressed Was here before the other 2 packages i ordered at the same time. Did not see any noticeable imperfections. Looks and feels amazing. Everything is tight,well put together. Wish i had caught the sale a little earlier,might have gotten the set at those prices.Overall great job and can see myself purchasing from you again,and hopefully catch the next sale early.

I can't believe the deal I got. This sword is perfect! Looks awesome, it's sharp, good curvature, the blade straight, feels consistent... I had to unsheath it, clean the blade and look it very closely to find the reason why it was in the s&d section. Just some cosmetic scratches at the end of the blade! That's all! I've been dreaming about this sword for years. When I started Iaido and found Ronin Katana, I immediately wanted a dojo pro, with red tsuka or red saya and black tsuka (models 21 and 26, if I'm not wrong). But they are over my budget, and too heavy for me. So I went to other sites, bought cheaper swords. Almost all disappointing. Years passed, and I discovered this shorter version of the sword I ever wanted. And later I found that it was available s&d. I haven't cut with it but I know it performs well, because I used a Ronin dojo pro wakizashi to cut bottles. And this ko katana has a straighter blade, looks even sharper, is more comfortable to wield, and suits me better. What can I say? It's for me.

The quality was much better than I expected from 'scratch and dent'. except for what I guess is a slight forging flaw I can find nothing wrong with the blade, fittings or saya, noscratches or rust. It 'executed' the box it arrived in easlily:) One slight disappointment was the length, the description said Wakisashi length blade, technically it is, being 22 1/2", I was expecting 19/20", in all fairness it was my assumption, not any misinformation on the sellers part. I will definitely be buying from Ronin again
