Tuto katanu mám přibližně 4 měsíce a víceméně splnila moje očekávání. Snad jedinou vítku bych měl k ostrosti čepele, ale toto je problém u naprosté většiny mečů na praktické použití, které dnes pořídíte. S měkčími materiály jako tatami/máčené noviny atd. si čepel poradí bez větších problému. Pokud ale chcete katanu používat na širší okruh věcí doporučuji si připlatit za čepel s pravým hamonem. Při kontaktu s tvrdšími pet-láhvemi dochází k poškození ostří. Toto poškození ale s trochou snahy opravíte i doma.

Před nějakou dobou sem si zde tento meč také pořídil a musím říct že je to velice dobrý kousek, jak po vzhledové stránce tak po praktické, výborně sedí v rukou a dobře se sní zachází. Meč je dodáván v kazetě která je potažena krasnou vyšívanou látkou a je k němu přibalen i stojánek a sada na údržbu meče.

Dobrý den, rád bych se zeptal, zda je čepel odolná vůči korozi. Děkuji.
