    Fantastic

    The only issue with this okatana is that some of the finish has rubbed off the tsuba exposing the copper on one side. The sword itself is magnificent. This was a great purchase!

    Monster sword

    This is my first Ronin Katana sword, and I have to say I am impressed! I can't find whatever defect caused them to sell it as scratch and dent, the whole thing looks very nice. So far I've only been drawing and sheathing, with a couple of simple kata. Despite being a large and relatively heavy sword, I like the way it handles. I am 6'2", and I feel like it fits me. I will definitely buy more from these guys.

    Big katana! I'm 6'1"ish, and its tip definitely clears the saya when I draw fast. No visible hamon; it's all made of the tough stuff. I like it. Don't know what's scratch and dent at all, seems fine to me.

    Feels like it was made for me. Beautiful!

    "Scratch and dent"? Where? Minor surface rust on the tsuka that wiped right off. If I were being incredibly nitpicky, one of the menuki is a little misaligned but you'd have to be a pretty miserable person to find any real fault in this sword, even at twice the price. More importantly, it feels light and easy to move with. If you're in the market for a comfortable, beautiful O-katana you should jump at this bargain. I can't believe how well it moves. And yes, it is very sharp. Mine is, at any rate. This is my 1st Ronin Katana but it will not be my last. I highly recommend!

    What a beauty of a sword, haven’t cut with it yet but I know its going to be a good one. I’m not sure why it was on the scratch and dent sale, can’t find anything wrong with it but I’m glad it was. This is a great sword at a great price.

    O-Katana..oh katana!

    I got this as a low-risk buy just to try out one of Ronin’s dojo pro models (I’m a big fan of their Elite swords, so I was curious how the middle-grade models would perform). As someone who’s 6’4”, I also had been wanting this type of longer katana. My sword arrived this week, and I’ve already done some backyard cut testing. My impressions so far: Wow. Seriously. This sword is excellent all around. The blade is frighteningly sharp out of the box. It was perfectly shaped and honed. For a sword this long, it handles like its shorter cousins—great balance, tightly constructed, and a well-wrapped handle that doesn’t slip or feel bulky even swinging one-handed. The only thing I could find that maybe put this on the scratch and dent sale list were a few barely-noticeable scratches on one part of the saya—the blade itself is flawless. For the cut test, I used five-gallon, soft plastic water-filled jugs, but I may as well have been using butter. The sword sliced right through effortlessly, making perfectly clean cuts that didn’t even make the remaining bottom half move. Upon inspecting the sword, there was not even the slightest scratch, dent, or blemish. I’ve had much more expensive swords not perform this well on the same test. All around, I’m very impressed…so impressed I actually ordered another dojo pro model to add to the collection. I haven’t found anything that matches Ronin’s value at their affordable prices.
