How's the Blade?

How are the Handle and Fittings?

“I have a variety of katana from high end brands like Motohara and Citadel as well as very high value brands like Huawei. The Kanmuriotoshi build quality is outstanding at this price point. Many times you will see katana, particularly in tool steels, having very basic fittings and bland blades. This is not the case here. The kapok ito is very tight but comfortable. The blacked brass fuchi and kashira really complement the habaki and seppa. The quality of the habaki and seppa are also better than the typical "parts bin" models. The transitions are good and comfortable. Again, you rarely find so many good components at this price. The cutting capabilities are outstanding. This is very sharp tool steel and the Kanmuriotoshi geometry allows for a high degree of tip control and a slim profile for cutting. At 2'4", the blade is light and responsive. The bohi gives a very audible tachikaze. If I was selecting one blade to practice koryu bujutsu and tameshigiri, this would be a finalist.”
