Scratch and Dent Dojo Pro Level Samurai Sword #2

Let's get the obvious out of the way first. I couldn't find any scratches or dents on my Katana but there were some light scuffs on the saya and the iron collar under the tsuba was slightly loose so I wouldn't hesitate to order from the sale. The Katana itself was silly sharp and overall just a beautiful and solid sword.

This is my second purchase from Ronin Katana. I made this purchase expecting a blemished or slightly bent blade. The katana I received has a very well made blade, however the Ito is mediocre and the Kashira and end knot is very sloppy. I will have to purchase another handle from RK as this one will not last a week of cutting. I am still ok with my purchase. It creates an opportunity for me to learn tsukamaki and rewrapping it in a different color

I chose the scratch and dent model just to get a blade for beginning use and felt scratches and dings. After receiving, cleaning and carefully going over the blade and handle, I have yet to find any blemish. Well made product!

Bought from scratch and dent sale. I am new to Japanese swords but I cannot find any flaws.

Don't about the "scratched and dented" name, it will not be scratched not dented. It was basically perfect to the untrained eye. The only flaw is just a small blotch about 2-3 mm squared on the blade probably due to mistake in the metal working process. Otherwise, the grip, saya, and blade is pretty perfect. The sword fits very well in the saya. Only think I wish was it had a Hamon, but for the price i cannot complain.

Super nice Katana. Koshirae and Tsuka are simple, of excellent quality, and pleasing to my eye. Everything is fitted nicely and with no rattles. (from Saya either). Ito is wrapped tightly, attractive Same. A few small scratches at base of blade which were expected and don’t bother me at all. Tsuka is nicely shaped, and Nakago has a geometric Yokote and nice polish. Built for cutting, not just to look at. Thanks Ronin Katana!

How was this a scratch & dent?!? What an incredible deal. Arrived well packaged and unharmed. No scratches, dings, or nicks. After a quick cleaning the blade was is bright and straight. I can't suggest this enough!

No scratches no dents no rust nothing loose. This sword is greatest value on the market Silk ito iron fuchi kashira buffalo horn I have swords triple the price without this kind of quality fitings If worth every dollar even at original price if you can get your hands on scratch and dent sale dont think about buy fast before they're gone
