Hello all, I am reviewing a sword i bought through Lyueswords on ebay. I have always loved swords and knives. I found them beautiful and scary at the same time. I, like many before me have had alot..alot of mass produced swords that were more than dissapointing. I started collecting again after coming home from Hawaii,where i was stationd in the army. If not most but all of my first collection had dissapeard. So I started anew, and found myself trolling here and other sites, like you tube and such. I looked and looked, after a whole year spent talking with and becoming friends with Ruan, at Lyueswords.
I decided to order from this seller as i felt more and more comfortable with them than most others.
I wanted to do a review that would not only show off my sword but show this is not a scammer or a junk dealer.
Sword came in its normal yellow box, and no cuts made by customs.
It also came with a certificate, and beautiful silk bag.
Some measurments
Blade: T-10 clay tempered in a kogarasu maru style. Traditional method.
Saya: Bamboo with ox horn koijiri ,koiguchi.
the segeo is black silk,with brass kurigata.
Overall leangth: 104 cm.
blade: 73 cm.
Tsuka leangth: 27 cm. Made with black ray skin, Dark green leather ito.
Menuki: Silver frog and gold lilly pad.
Kashira and fuchi: Antiqued copper triquetra design.
Tsuba:is high quality copper brass seppa, brass carved habaki.
The sword came highly polished and extremely sharp! S now i will end this with pics.

Well i was pleased as this was very light yet durable. Great balance, and shape. It came out exactly like i wanted it too. I honestly highly recomend this seller. You will do good by visiting the ebay store.
I hope to do some more reviews soon, but for now, after trying to do this post 3 times..lol i am calling it a day.
