item came in great condition, was well packaged, tight enough fit into the saya, the fittings are snug, blade is nicely shaped, my only gripe is the wrapping on the handle could be a bit tighter but not a deal breaker, im very happy with the item

Fantastic piece, great for practice and feels like a quality product. It's wood, so a little light, but otherwise, it's identical in form to a real katana. Great for practice or display.

Sturdy wooden iaito, about the same weight as white oak bokken. The build quality is good enough for a safe Iaido practise (after tightening the tsuka wrapping). The saya and sageo are also good quality and this is a good tool for getting used to real saya. The fitting is really tight and it takes some force to get the blade out of the saya for the first time. This is not only a display item but viable sports equipment. The blade is slightly shorter than bokken blade. Tsuka wrapping is loose, so you need to redo the wrapping for safety. I would say that the quality is exeptional for the price and this sword might serve smaller iaido practitioners for a long time. It's too short for 190cm people like me, but serves well for some noto practise before my metal blade arrives.

The quality is really good. It's well worth the price compared to other swords on the market that are more expensive but look cheap. The package is also very well secured. The package arrived late but it was because of an issue with the Delivery company, not the Sender.
