 Good Practice Sword September 14, 2008
After buying a few katanas from this site awhile back, I quickly realized that I needed a practice one to hone my technique so that I would feel more confident when it came time to handle a real one. I decided that this bokken katana would suit my needs. It recieved many positive reviews and it was also cheap. It arrived in less than a week and I immediately fell in love with it. I was amazed at how similar this sword felt compared to my real ones. Before I bought this sword, I couldn't get my real katanas to sing when I swung them, but afterwards, I feel much more confident in handling them and they sound like they are supposed to. This sword is excellent for practicing swings and other techniques such as stances. I would not recommend it for sparring sessions, though, as when I hit a low ceiling while practicing one day, I slightly damaged it (Nothing major, just a small chip, and the ceiling took most of the damage anyway). One major complaint I have is that the cord on the handle has begun to unravel after frequent use, making the sword difficult to use once my hands become sweaty. Still, I recommend it because it allows me to become more comfortable when using my real katanas.

A decent item for extremely light use. Use with any regularity more often then extrememly light results in the "cord wrap" sliding around and falling off; leaving a a very sticky glue film behind. Very light in weight though, so anyone can use it.
Great for the price March 20, 2008

At only $9, this is an exelent buy. I have been using this thing for almost 2 years with great results.
Pros:
Wrapped handel is very professionaly done.
Very comfortable and lightweight.
Realistically sized and scalled.
Cons:
The center of ballence is not exactly in the center.
Chips and dents very easily (this is not for dueling!)
Mostly for (cos)play February 28, 2008

I have just ordered one and after reading the other reviews, I'm satisfied that I made a good choice. Right now I'm not into practicing with it (since this is the only thing I could get at this price and certain people I live with wouldn't currently approve of me practicing swinging this thing around). It's basically for play (or cosplay) for Comic Con as something that can look like a sword in in it's scabbard. Since I'm not going to be hitting things with it, I feel happy that I ordered from Sword Demon.
