I'm sorry that I couldn't take pictures, I dropped my camera in my little cousin's pool at his birthday party.

That's the sword I bought lol. So it took about a week for it to get here, but it was worth it.
When it came it was in a 4 ft box, inside of the box there was tons of those little white foam things (that pissed my brother off because I opened the box in his car), and in that was yet another box, that sword was in a black sword bag, held in place by Styrofoam.
The sword was amazing, far more amazing then what I expected.
The tsuka was VERY tight, the ray skin was very cool looking, as did the dragon designs under it.
Double pegged too.
The blade was razor sharp, so I could run it across a soda can and it would shave off the paint on it.
A etched hamon, but a good looking and realistic looking one.
One problem though, the very tip of the blade (the VERY tip) of it was bent. From afar you couldn't really notice it, I was disappointed by that.
There were also odd stains on the blade.
So, next was the cutting.
The first victim...was the Box it came in!
It sliced through it with ease. So I looked at the blade, it was scratched. I was surprised by this. I mean, I guess what it meant by "Light Duty Cutting" was LIGHT DUTY.
I guess if my scissors broke, the katana would be next in line to replace them lol.
Hehehe. This made my chores easier. "Trim the hedges". It sliced them easy. No marks on the blade.
(No, I didn't use the katana to cut it all, just a piece.)
Next was a tree. (Cutting small branches). It went through easy. The branches were thicker than a quarter's size. It scratched the blade. -_-
Next is the poor man's tatami...or rolled up soaked newpaper.
...Not so good here. It would go (usually) half way. One time I almost got it to go all of the way through. I had to wash it afterward s (newspaper ink).
So...overall. This is a wall hanger. I'm not daring to mess with this blade anymore for fear of scratches and such. I mean, it's a great looking blade for a great price, but this thing is not meant for serious cutting.
