Thanks for reviewing!

👀🥷🏻 That cut where it stayed intact and you knocked it off 👌🏼

Thank you for the review! It's a fun, lightweight fast cutter isn't it?! That's how I designed it to be. I skimped on some visual elements in lieu of more of a daily cutter on this 1.0 version, but I think they knocked it out of the park.

Very well done design. Feels just like an evolution/motohara LMC in hand. Could upgrade the koshirae and compete with them for less than half the price.

That's a beautiful sword. Looks very well made.

Nice. I'm currently in possession of one for sharpening and I was blown away by the feel of the blade. If I only looked at the blade i would have sworn it was an evolution/motohara LMC. Feels just like one in hand. Can't wait to cut with her. Great review.

The habaki and seppa 4:26 look like brass rather then copper. Overall nice katana.

Could be, yes.

Very nice sword be cost a lot money i bet cuts very nice thumbup

That Sks steel is impressive, very nice polish and hamon, I wish they came with a yokote and kissaki polish, or go all the way and do a proper Shobu Zukuri style, but I'm guessing this is meant to be a budget Tamashigeri blade and going this route probably cut a few hundred bucks off the price tag. That being said, blade is nice and the wrap is attractive as well, but im probably gonna pass on. Hopefully they release a more premium version with all the bells and whistles im looking for cause i do like that steel lol.

It's a fun steel for sure. I designed this one to be a lightweight, fast daily cutter. I wanted to go copper Habaki and Seppa, and of course a more pronounced Yokote, but that would have increased the price beyond $500 and I really wanted to keep it under that mark. Once you hit $500, there are a lot of choices on the market. As a practitioner, I felt the more visual elements would be more wasted for this type of sword. The good news is we are bringing in more variants, with higher end elements added like Kozuka and Kogai, silk Ito, and more definition in the Kissaki along with a step up in furniture.
