    They’ll be real disappointed to find out the best Katana are made by some guys in Longquan and not a Japanese blacksmith with 800 years of family blacksmithing history. At least for 1 grand you’re not getting a stainless steel wall hanger with no tang tho.

      Fun fact: those shit mass produced katanas you can buy online and put to dust on your closet are probably better quality than average samurai footsoldier sword from XVI century.
