Can’t help you on use, sorry. But that itf Nami looks good and so does that price. Too bad I’m all spent out for now. Will bookmark it. Thanks Seth

Do you have a katana already, and if so looking for it to match? or if not, would you want a katana in the future to match it?

I have one of these on they way: roninkatana.com/dojo-pro-katana-model-25/It has the brown ito and black samegawa so the Kris would best match (planning to display on a two sword stand), but the Nami would look good alongside it as well.

I kind of like the fittings on the Kris better, but I like the steel on the Nami better. I am not entirely trusting of the "folded 1060 and 9250 high carbon steel" blade. Not sure if it would be as high quality as the T10 blade for this price.

I don't know, dude. I've looked at both blades and from what I can tell it comes down to aesthetics. KOA will stand behind what they sell, so the vendor isn't an issue. Both blades should perform about the same. The steel composition isn't as important as the heat treating- and you really can't tell the quality of that by just looking.
Personally, I don't care for the "damascus" look on a Japanese style blade, but that is just my preference. So I say get the one that you like and don't think too much about it. Worse case, buy both and sell the one you don't like.

Update: I got the Nami, and it's a great blade. Very pleased with it.
