SkyJiro Warrior Katana Review by Luke Savov
SkyJiro is known as a manufacturer of quality replica swords. Their katana might not be the best in the market but they are not bad options on the other hand. The Warrior Katana belongs to this category.
The Warrior Katana has been classified by SkyJiro under the Middle Class. Be that as it may, the quality of the katana is rather good. 1070 high carbon steel has been used to craft this sword. The sharpness of the edges is rather impressive for its cost.
The blade of the Warrior Katana possesses an imitation hamon, so it is not a real thing. Bamboo mekugi has been used to mount the blade into the tsuka. It is possible to remove and separate the components when you wish to perform maintenance activities. This also allows you to customize the katana as per your wishes or needs. It is important to remember that this katana has not been made by Japanese masters. After all, beginners may get confused thanks to the traditional style of this katana.
The tsuba has been blackened and it features a swirl design. Similarly, the koshirae has also been blackened but it depicts plants and lion dogs. The wooden tsuka has been covered in rayskin. For further protection, woven black silk has been used as the tsuka-ito. The menuki also features a pair of lion dogs. The saya is made from wood and features a glossy black lacquer coating.
While the Warrior Katana has some excellent features, the cost is rather impressive. After all, few katana in the market offer you as much as this one does at this low price range.
If you are looking for an affordable katana offering a good perforamnce, the Warrior Katana from SkyJiro can actually be a great choice.
