Great Sword

Posted by Keeli James-Murray on 11th Feb 2022

I give a 4.5 star review only because the paint applications on the tsuba and fittings is faint and came unsharpened but apart from that, great product. Will definitely buy more swords from this website.

Black Dragon III Katana

Posted by Albertus Viljoen on 5th Jan 2022

For the price you pay I'm amazed at the quality of the sword. Beautifully crafted and a real showpiece. Just be careful as the sword does come quite sharp edged already, definitely not a toy. Great service from Superior Swords.
