Keeps the sword protected

Expected something more decorative than practical, but the balance is excellent. Very pleased.

I'm glad I added this at checkout rather than hunting for a stand elsewhere. It fits the sword well and gives it a proper place to be displayed.

I compared a few similar katana before choosing this one, and it's the clear winner for the money.

I'd just assumed it would feel a little heavier in the hand, which is the only reason I'm giving four stars. Build quality is good and nothing rattles. Good value for what you get. Show More

The blue and gold tones work beautifully together, and the pattern runs cleanly with no smudging or uneven edges. It feels sturdy and properly finished. It's now the first thing people notice when they walk into the room. Show More

Colour is rich without looking artificial, and it's held up well since it arrived, no fading or scuffing. Fittings are tight and well finished. Glad I took a chance on this one. Show More

Practical, nothing fancy

Both pieces feel consistent in quality, no sense that one was an afterthought. Fittings echo the game's aesthetic nicely. Really happy I got the set rather than just the katana alone. Show More

Docking a star as there were a couple of minor scuff marks on the saya when it arrived, nothing major but noticeable up close. Blade itself was in good condition. Would still consider it a solid buy.

Liked the idea of going guardless for a cleaner look and it's turned out great. Blade line is smooth from tip to tsuka, no rough transitions anywhere.… Liked the idea of going guardless for a cleaner look and it's turned out great. Blade line is smooth from tip to tsuka, no rough transitions anywhere. Feels well made despite the minimalist approach. Looks sharp mounted on a plain wall bracket without anything distracting from it. Show More

Fittings match the character's aesthetic really well. Feels like a lot of thought went into getting the details right rather than a generic recolour. Extremely happy with this one. Show More
