Great Katana
"I love it. Only reason it got 4 instead of 5 stars is the bolts in the handle are a little long. One pokes your hand if you grab it there. I really think it is real folded steel and not a pattern. I noticed if you old it near your face and look down the length of the blade, you see imperfections in the shine. If you look at the spot of the imperfections you notice there are in places where the pattern is more prominent."
