40 " Wooden Kendo Practice Bokken Practice Katana Sword. Excellent craftsmanship, reasonable cost, prompt shipping and they back up their merchandise.

Initial Impressions: The sword arrived on time and was well-packaged. Overall build quality is solid, with tightly fitted components and an aesthetically pleasing design and a beautiful hamon. While there are some minor imperfections, they are acceptable considering the price point. The most noticeable issue was the asymmetrical grind on the right side of the mune where it meets the habaki — it was ground too steeply, which affects the visual symmetry. Handling: The sword feels lively and responsive in hand. It balances well and is comfortable to maneuver, which was a pleasant surprise. Disassembly & Internal Fit: Disassembling the sword was difficult — the mekugi pegs were extremely tight, and the tsuka was very difficult to remove from the nakago. After some careful work using tools and patience, I was able to separate the parts. During inspection, I found a crack on the spine side of the tsuka under the fuchi. I repaired this using wood glue and clamps. Once dried, the nakago no longer fit properly and required careful filing of both the nakago and tsuka interior to restore the fit. I also had to do some minor filing on the tsuba and seppa to get everything back together properly, and I used a few paper shims between the seppa to tighten up the fit. Saya Fit: Out of the box, the saya had some rattle. I addressed this by modifying the koiguchi using shims and careful filing. To further reduce rattle and create a smoother draw, I inserted some cotton ball material soaked in petroleum jelly inside the saya. This worked well and greatly improved the fit and feel. Conclusion: While not perfect out of the box, the Munetoshi Water Dragon katana offers solid value for the price — especially if you’re comfortable making some modifications and tuning. It’s visually appealing, structurally sound, and feels excellent in the hand. Just be prepared for potential fitting issues and some DIY work if you’re particular about build precision. This sword is a great complement to my Ronin Dojo pro 21, it is not as robust and because it is differentially hardened it is more likely to take a bend on bad cuts. However, with proper technique, and care this blade should last a lifetime.
