First of all, this is my first sharpened/forged katana.
The sword is excellently crafted, nothing rattles, the handle winding is tight, the hamon is clearly visible and the entire katana looks very balanced.
The blade comes very well oiled and on the blade and around the tsuba there were production residues of grease or similar which could be easily wiped away with a soft cloth.
The saya is also superbly made, everything fits tightly, nothing wobbles or rattles. The only drawback, apart from a few micro-scratches that can only be seen on closer inspection and in the right light, is a "scratch" about 5cm long that you can't feel with your fingernail but a small white "line" runs along it. (I suspect that a hair has cheated its way into the black lacquer layer, which was then removed but not repaired and finally everything was sealed with clear lacquer).
However, these points of criticism are all grumbles at a very high level.
As a sword lover, no sword has ever awakened so much awe in me just by drawing it as this one.

1A sword, especially the blade is on a high level. For freestyle cutting you first have to find a sword that can keep up with it and that at this price, just leave it and buy this sword. Whether beginner or advanced, you can't go wrong with it. The saya is also incredibly well made. I would love to buy a second one. Thank you DerShogun/Samuraischwert.kaufen.

An ingenious sword!
I searched for a long time until I found a replacement sword for my WWII Gunto.
I didn't want to burn this antique in the tameshigiri.
The two swords look very similar, let's see how the cutting behaviour is.
I didn't notice any of the quality defects mentioned by Tilo Hänsel, even though I took a close look.

My katana was delivered today and the first impression is really very nice. Especially the inlay in the saya looks really high quality. The blade is flawless and very sharp. I also like the beautiful hamon.
The workmanship is really good in this price range, everything fits tightly as it should. Tameshigiri is still pending, I think
but that this blade will have no problem...
The only problem was that there was very sticky residue on the blade on delivery, especially in the cutting edge area, but this could be removed with a care set.
All in all, very nice and recommended.
