Scratch and Dent Dojo Pro Level Samurai Sword #5

Although this is sold as a “scratch and dent” sword, mine came with no scratches or dents whatsoever. It probably had some sort of defect or cosmetic blemish that a novice like myself wouldn’t notice, but I can for sure tell that there was no rust or chips in the blade. The only issue I have with my purchase is that I couldn’t buy an accompanying tsuba that I preferred over the one that came built into the blade, since the ones I would have purchased weren’t available to buy as a separate piece or not in stock. It’s a bummer but doesn’t detract from the great deal I got. If you’re an entry level weapons collector I’d highly recommend a dojo pro sword, the silk handle is tightly bound and the sword itself is functional and secure, while still remaining a great decorative piece you can swing around and cut pool noodles with occasionally (I have heard less than good things about cotton wrapped swords which tend to come loose much easier). If in the future I plan on purchasing another sword Ronin definitely has my money.
