Great service Great Katana

Great katana is very comparable to the pictures and is worth the price.
The customer service is great and the delivery did take awhile but with the current UK border situation it was of no real issue .

Reasonable and understanding

Had an issue with the 1st iaito I bought but the team were extremely understanding and helpful, even helping me pick out a new more suitable sword, very happy with my iaito, good quality and they solved everything that was within their power to solve.

Review for Katanamart

I recently purchased a basic katana from KatanaMart and its quality was of an incredibly high standard for one in the "basic" range. Packaging and courier service was perfect, no damage to the item or packaging upon arrival and a short waiting time between purchase and delivery. A side note being that the customer service was beyond excellent too, all my questions and queries were answered promptly and adequately, I spoke to Alex specifically and he helped tremendously as this was the first katana I have purchased. I have already recommended Katanamart to my friends and peers who share my interest in Japanese swords and history.

Purchased a Kuroda katana from katanamart

I purchased a Kuroda katana recently as my first shinken. It feels well balanced and the tsuka was bound well. The saga is a good fit, ensuring it holds the blade firmly. I have not cut extensively, but the blade is sharp and cuts well. The only slight disappointment was that the blade arrived very slightly bent; not enough to cause an issue, but equally it has a little lateral curvature in it.

Amazing Katanas

I've bought a few different items and everytime I have had a great experience. Although, I have been a little with my orders they have helped me. The products I have received have been great quality.

I will 100% buy from them again in the future

My honest review with Katanamart

I had amazing expirince with Katanamart. I ordered my 3 set sword because I started to get interested in samurai and their history.I was able to save my money and the day when I order it 29/11/21 I felt so happy. After some week passed I contacted Alex because I couldn't wait to see my katanas.He explaind everything about shipping and I understand the shipping process.When the day came and my katanas arrived I oppened them really quickly and I got suprisised how nice they ware.Now I'm focusing to save money to get Musashi's katana and wakizashi.
