Really a very nice Katana. Visually pleasing to the eye. The Saya is made really nice and is highly polished. The Katana itself is beautiful as well. Unfortunately, the blade is always dirty, if you pull the sword out of the saya. Pity eigendlich. But you can indeed wipe with a cloth, hence not quite so tragic. A further drawback there because the sword is not even a little sharpened. However, that is perhaps better at the beginning. Can sharpen one indeed. The engraved lion I find particularly great. For this price, definitely, despite some flaws 5 of 5 stars.
