I've owned many swords over the years including Hanwei,Thaitsuki,Coldsteel but to name a few and i must say out of all of them this sword is a beast!i tested it on some 3 inch bamboo and it cut through like butter very well balanced with a thick blade and the fittings are extremely tight.you could cut all day with this sword and it would never get tired its also aestheticly pleasing
the hamon is slithly faint but the folds in this sword look amazing the s i would recommend it to anyone
