![]() With a long rod, which is fixed in the handle with 2 bamboo pins (Mekugi). Black, high-gloss lacquered sheath (Kuroro style) made of wood.Handle wrapping made of black cotton in the classic Hineri-Maki style.The blade has an integrated Hamon line for a particularly authentic look.Shinogi-Zukuri style blade with fillet (Bo-Hi), hand-forged from 1045 carbon steel.BEING ONE - without wanting and in absolute unintentionality, dragon and warrior form an eternal connection - on the path of the great. ![]() The Dragon Katana by John Lee takes up this symbolism (tsuba and ornamental rate). Dragons are the symbol of beauty, immeasurable strength, earth energy and its renewal, imagination and vigilance. Hope this helps those who are curious.In many cultures around the world, the dragon is considered a powerful primeval animal and a magical mixed and mythical creature. Again I highly recommend this as a sample of what they offer on their website. Parts of the engraving on the saya of the katana are shallow and others are deeperĭespite the cons, the reason I am putting this as a 4/5 is mainly because of the time it took to get this katana, which is not in fault of them since the 2-3 week arrival applies to U.S territories too, and although this katana does have listings from other places and I could have ordered it from Amazon instead, I highly recommend this one from MiniKatana due to the quality and care they put into the packaging when they ship the katana to you as well as the great customer service. Mine was a bit going to the right and is fixable, as well as due to this issue, the tsuba of the blade may not sit flush with the koiguchi of the saya of the katana (the katana guard doesn't sit flat in the handle when sheathing) but the width of the blade is about 1 in.īlade straightness may very depend on your copy of the katana. ![]() May feel small for those with bigger hands since the blade is almost 27 in. The blade up to the habaki (from what I can tell) is the same for all their dull katanas, even the anime ones if you look closely I recommend using baby oil (as per-recommendation from Shadiversity)ĭoes not come with a stand for the katana (I find this to be a bit disappointing due to them constantly saying on their Youtube channel that all their katanas come with a stand, that is false marketing and they should address that only their battle-ready katanas come with a stand) Less maintenance for this katana since it's mostly used for cosplay or decorationĭue to it being pre-oiled, it does have some residue on the blade, so I do recommend wiping off the old oil and re-oiling the katana for a newer look. The wrapping on the handle is tight and not looseĭoes not feel cheap and feels like quality, especially with the metal parts of the katana Great size for those with small to medium hand sizesįeels great in the hand (not too heavy, but not too light) That being said, there are pros and cons to getting this particular katana. Again I do highly recommend this for those who want a budget-friendly katana for cosplay, decoration, or whatever you use it for. Although it took some time to get my katana, this is a great sample of what they offer. I really recommend this katana to those who are curious about getting their very first katana from MiniKatana. A great sample for those curious, want it for cosplay, or decoration
