Scratch and Dent Dojo Pro Level Samurai Sword #18

Came in honestly beautiful condition. The Sia was extremely lose and needs to be shimmed badly and a tiny tiny part of the edge was dinged but not irreparably. The ito was tight surprisingly, due to that being a pretty big complaint about the dojo pro line. The very tip of the blade on the spine is alittle deformed but nothing structurally critical and hard to see. All in all for a dent and ding sale I'm extremely happy with my purchase and definitely am a Ronin fan. Highly recommend.

The picture doesn't actually show it: but on the habaki, there is a major scruff and some very minor scratches on the blade ourself (no big deal, I'm using it for cutting). It would have been nice to have a better photo of the damages but it was fine. Overall, it's super sharp and looks great. Dojo pro has a name for being an amazing, sharp, durable sword and (with only 2 pool noodles down) I can say that it holds up to the reputation so far. would definitely recommend

kogiri, koiguchi and kurigata werer all exceptional, very pleased witht the ito and point of balance.

Ordered the number 18, got something different and different color different handguard. E Whatever, for $165 that's good enough.

The sword I received was flawless and far exceeded the value of the price. An excellent piece of workmanship.

In my review of my 1st Dojo Pro sword I think I mentioned I'd buy another. And so I did, taking advantage of Ronin's S&D sale and getting an item upon which I cannot find something so serious that -- had it been " new " -- I'd try to send it back. Great savings for me !
