Scratch and Dent Dojo Pro Level Samurai Sword #10 Ko Katana

It would take pages for me to write up how amazing the customer service is at Ronin Katana. They're the most helpful, professional folks I've dealt with in decades. AFTER I placed my order I was talking with Ronin Katana about my intentions for the sword. They told me they thought this line would be better suited to my stated purpose. They actually down sold me! It was more important to them that I get the right sword for my needs than making few extra dollars! This may seem small to most people, but it'sa big deal to me. And I couldn't be happier! The sword is absolutely perfect to my eyes. If there's any issue at all it's the loose saya, but it isn't the worst. It holds the sword snuggly, but there is quite a bit of rattle. I bought it to cut with, though, and it cuts. It really cuts. And cuts well. My O-katana is a cutter too, but this thing moves like lightning compared to the O-katana. Everything on the sword itself is tight, solid and pleasingly attractive. Did I mention it cuts well? I've had it for an hour or so and I've already decimated my supply of water bottles. I don't love it MORE than my Dojo-pro #31, but it sure is fun to cut with, and it doesn't tire you out as quickly as an O-katana, which means more cutting time! Give them a chance to earn your loyalty as a customer. I promise that you'll be glad you did!

Fast shipping and the sword is in excellent condition. It has one very, very small nick/roll at the very end of the blade 1/2 inch back from the tip . If I hadn't been looking so hard to find a "scratch or dent" it wouldn't have been noticed.

very satisfied with the katana as I purchased it for indoor training during the winter months and have little privacy, overall I am pleased vey much.

Unfortunately my katana arrived with a crack in the blade. After contacting Ronin with concerns about the functionality of the sword, they agreed to send another katana, and allowed me to keep the cracked katana for parts. They really went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with my purchase. Great people, awesome customer service!

I am completely satisfied with this sword. This is my third sword from Ronin Katana. In all honesty I will buying more from them.

Great weight balance and control without losing much blade real estate. There is a good hand feel to the ko katana platform and I find it very relaxing to practice motions with. As always the blade quality feels on par with the rest of the Pro line.

An awesome deal, great sword, no complaints

Blade was rust free, edge flawless and very sharp. All fittings tight. There was a slight irregularity in the grind of the mune towards the tip, which I presume is why it landed in scratch and dent, but this cosmetic flaw doesn't affect performance in any way. An agile, close quarters cutter at a fantastic price!

Purchased as a scratch and dent item. For the price of 165, it is great. The only scratch and dent issue I noted was a loose Fuchi collar and some wood showing under the Same. I shimmed the Fuchi pretty easily. When you consider the price, this is a good deal. Feels nice'.
