Great service and great product

It is an amazing sword and the fact it's handcrafted really makes me proud to show it off as a decorative item. It's very sharp and the intricate design makes it worth the money. Massive respect to the people who made this :)

Nice, well balanced sword. Noticed the brushed hammon is a bit thin but this doesn't really bother me as it's use Kendo/kenjutsu and Iaido use.

Wax getting on the blade everytime it comes out of the saya is a bit annoying as it leaves wax all over the floor of my practice area.

The sageo tie off point on the Saya also has had one of the small gold pieces break off (out of the package, before I took the sageo off). Had a little chalk or paint around this area which i cleaned off.

Apart from the issues i've mentioned it's a practical and usable sword for anyone needing an Iai for martial arts.

Delivery was quick with good tracking information. Good packaging & a simple free kake, easily put together (may make a larger one myself). Good customer service from the interaction I have had, very informative as well.

3 stars only due to the damage to the saya, otherwise it's 5 stars alround. Thus 4 stars seems apt.

I purchased this sword in the hope it would be suitable for my requirements, which was to have a live blade for both Iai Kata and tamishi giri practice, I also wanted a substantially heavier blade to test and improve my technique. I was fully prepared for the quality not to meet my expectations, and therefore I would then assign it as a dojo cutter for tamishi giri practice.

However, when it arrived I was very surprised with how good the blade was, the weight was just what I was looking for and the balance was very good as well, the blade length was comparable with my existing Iaito, so not much adjustment was required for drawing and re-sheathing. technique.

I have had the sword for three days and have managed two training session and I am looking forward to tomorow for a third session, the weight is certainly testing my stamina and is requiring much work to maintain the quality of my technique.

Absolutely stunning beautifully balanced sword, way beyond what I had expected.

The handmade Knishi Tanto is a magnificent weapon, it is substantial, fits perfectly into the wooded sayu and well balanced. This tanto is a beautiful work of art and the craftsmanship is second to none. If you are thinking to buy a Tanto for the first time, this is a really good buy. It will look great on a stand alone or with other swords if you want to display it. I will be buying more swords from Katanamart in the future.

I’m very happy with this Shirasaya. It looks great and the wood has a really nice finish to it.

Arrived quick feels very nice and blade come oiled and perfect in a box, cleaning kit with little hammer, spare bamboo pegs would buy again. Also tryed the cutting on abit of paper sliced like butter thanks so much.

super Service. Schnelle Antwort, schnelle Lieferung!

This kit perfectly serves its purpose. Having already used it once for the initial clean-up of the sword after purchase, I can't complain about it – it simply does what it says on the tin. Thanks.

Ha sido una compra excelente, estoy realmente satisfecho.

Ehrlich gesagt kenne ich das angebotene Schwert überhaupt nicht und möchte nur den einen Stern ausgleichen, den ein anderer Käufer
hier vergeben hat. Dieser seltame Käufer gibt im Grunde vor erfahren zu sein und auch schon mal länger in Japan gewesen zu sein
und beschwert sich dann doch tatsächlich trotzdem darüber, dass dass Schwert, dass schon im Namen den Begriff "Iaito" trägt,
nicht einmal Papier schneiden kann. Iaitô sind aber nunmal leider Schwerter, die naturgemäß im Gegensatz zu den Shinken
genannten Schwerten zwar ebenfalls aus viel Metall bestehen aber bewusst stumfklingig gehalten sind (sicherrees Training).

Kann aber natürlich mal passieren ich als Koch habe letztens schließlich auch eine Eismaschine bestellt und die Pommes
wurden und wurden einfach nicht knusprig und der Marken-Kochlöffel von WMF schafft nicht mal 'ne heiße Tasse Tee. ,-)

So wie der Titel schon sagt, der Service ist erste sahne, Freundlich Kompetent und schnell.
Versand hatte Probleme gemacht, was aber nicht an lag. Worauf hin sie das Ganze mit einem Teureren Dienst Gratis verschickten und es am nächsten tag da war. also Top Service. Leider sehen die Bilder auf der Seite Katanamart sehr Professionell aus, aber leider entsprechen diese Bilder dann leider nicht der Wahrheit, Schwert war leider stumpf konnte nicht mal Papier schneiden, zudem hatte die klinge viele Kratzer und auch die Montierung und Saya hatte viele Fehler und waren sehr minderwertig und schief. Materialen waren angelaufen. Und hier kommen wir wieder auf dehn Service zu sprechen. nahm das Katana anstandslos zurück und organisierte auch die Rücksendung und lies es abholen. Geld gab es anstandslos zurück.

Delighted with the quality of the Katana

I am very pleased with this product. Considering the price, heaviness and materials used, it is a very good display katana. Perhaps, at some point in time once I get a proper training, I may even use it for Battōjutsu.

dear All

i have just receive my Dotanuki shinken from Katanamart and i need to say from delivery to packaging to customer service to product itself, it is 5* job.
Package- item arrived very quickly all the time track able on on the website, it was packaged very safely and securely.
Dotanuki shinken - job is amazing the hamon line is gorgeous and nicely visible, the sharpness of the sword is great and the balance is spot on. there is still some residue left after production and oil left in the saya to protect blade and the saya itself. this will need cleaning before first use. but the shinken is just very well made.
this is my second sword for this guys and its getting better and better. first one was good but this is definitely superior sword.
great buy - thank you.

Very happy with my purchase. Will definitely recommend. A+

Muy buena relación calidad/precio

Product is amazing. Began my koryu training with naginata as soon as I received. Fantastic quality. Hard product to find. Will do business with seller again. Highly recommend!

Muy bien. La katana esta fenomenal, me gusta mucho como se nota el Hamon y la terminación en general es bueno, tan solo destacar dos cosas, no me termina de gustar el acabado de los Mekugis, esto es, los pasadores que sujetan la Tsuka al Nakago, han quedado un poco feos, como mal terminados, y lo malo es que están muy a la vista, se ven bastante, incluso al coger la katana notas el pasador en las manos y por otro lado, el envío tardo un poco mas de la cuenta, la pedí y pague el día 2 y llego el 16.
Hay que decir que el regalo (kunishi tanto) muy bien, al igual que el kake.
El paquete llego en buen estado y con una funda acolchada mejor y mas manejable que el maletín que traían antes.
