About the RK Clay Tempered Katana Series
If you are looking for an affordable, reliable and well made entry level Katana, the Ronin Katana clay tempered 1045 carbon steel blades from the RK Series line are hands down one of the best, if not THE best, options currently available on the sword market.
Nimble, alive and with truly awesome handling that puts some much more expensive swords to shame - the fittings are attractive but basic, because all of the attention to detail is where it counts - on the blade itself.
Perfect for frequent practice, the genuine hamon (created by traditional clay tempering techniques) is unique to each sword and the blade is easy to maintain. Perfect for backyard cutting or the dojo and with a blade worthy of remounting as a long term project, the value for money on these swords and quality for the price cannot be beaten.

Rubber fittings, handle is solid with no rocking or movement. Center of balance is a hand higher than hand guard. It feels like this sword needs heavier fittings or a longer handle. Very solid for the price. I haven't practiced cutting with it yet but as I said the blade and fittings feel solid like the sword can do a lot of work. Oil on the blade out of box, straight lines down blade. Lines on back of blade don't perfectly fit with lines of base fitting, no moment, just lines don't match up on back of blade.
