      First sword ever purchased, looks and feels incredible. For those afraid of shipping damage from previous review, don't be, the sword was over the top packaged to keep everything safe and hard to damage in transit.

      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.

      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.

      Great Sword at great value

      Posted by Trent Dostine on 30th Sep 2020

      This is an economical and well made sword for its budget. Great for display or practical application such as Iaido. It is well balanced and has a good cutting edge. Aesthetically it is hard to go past. Highly recommend.
