This is my favorite wakizashi. It's very solid and nothing loose no wiggles. The ito is very tight. The blade is straight and the osoraku shape is super cool. I had it sharpened which may have affected the hamon a bit but it is very sharp. The polish is great. The Saya fit is really good and the Saya lacquer is great. Worth every penny. Highly recommend.2025-05-04 02:22 -

This nodachi was half of a two-sword order I placed, as I couldn't decide between this and a katana. Customization was easy, and upon delivery I'm very impressed for the price. It's a beautiful and finely crafted piece. Everything is snug, blade is SHARP, and overall it's just really nice. Compared to other popular mail-order forges, ryansword seems like the best bang for the buck out there, especially for nodachi-style swords. A+ would recommend.2025-01-13 10:48 -

I received my Yamato Today. I really like this New Version of the Yamato. I own both of the Clay Tempered Yamato of your Store. In this Version the Tsuka is thicker and it has New Fittings. So anyways, my Sword Arrived extreme sharp, blade and Hamon is very nice polished, blade is straight, Ito Wraps are Tight, All Fittings are Tight and Nothing is loose. Saya has a good fit and the Sword Doesnt Fall out. Its actually a bit heavier than the first Version since Tsuba is larger and Tsuka is thicker. Its about 1190g. It feels way lighter When i swing it and the Balance is great. So this Katana is absolutely perfect and has a very fair Price !2025-01-07 18:28 -

This sword is beautiful and exceptional! Very high quality craftsmanship. The blade is beautiful, well balanced and precise and It cuts extremely well. The handle, cross guard, and pommel are amazing! The sheath was really well made and the sword fits like a glove. The sword can be hung upside-down and will not fall out of the sheath. Very strong, very sturdy, very well made! The sword came sharpened very well and cuts cleanly through all testing procedures. this sword is truly fit for a warrior. The craftsmanship is extraordinary! 5 stars! This is the best money I've ever spent. You will not find a better sword at this price. Thank you ryansword for the beautiful craftsmanship. Give my compliments to the blade smith.????????2024-11-17 19:38 -

I resisted purchasing this sword for three years. Conan the Barbarian (original move only!) is one of my favorite movies. I wish I had bought this sword three years ago. Ryan's Conan sword is a fantastic reproduction both in design and weight. The blade is real carbon steel and the fittings are all brass. The blade arrives well-oiled to prevent rust. The scabbard is also high quality leather. It could easily carry the sword for years on my back or waist if I ever had to carry it with me. Ryan Sword responds to all questions and the tracking and shipment system they use is outstanding. I'd say if you want REAL, functional swords, Ryan Sword is the way to go. I will be ordering more Ryan swords. An outstanding company and a skilled group of sword makers. Thank you!2024-10-06 07:02 -

Very nice for the price. Blade has nice even grinding, rather sharp, good polish and etching. It's a heavy fantasy piece. Stiff blade, almost no distal taper, but I am not complaining for what it is. Some of the brass castings are hollowed out which is not mentioned anywhere. The fake leather grip is well done but a bit slippery compared to the real thing. I think the castings are pretty decent and although it may not line up identically against one of the licensed versions it's pretty great and I'm happy with my purchase. I've yet to cut with it or bang it around but the construction as delivered isnsolid. Mine was shipped from a US warehouse and I had the sword within a week. I will definitely be ordering from Ryan Sword again.2024-08-29 01:20 -

I customized this sword. It is beautiful, the workmanship they put into it is very well done. I did have a problem with the Saya when it came, it was cracked and broken. They had a new Saya sent to me within two weeks in perfect condition from China to the States. Their customer service is outstanding and the sword is even better. For this price, you are getting a very very good sword. It was only held in customs for half a day.2024-08-07 17:53 -

Beautiful sword, just purchased this one and it arrived the other day, almost a week ahead of when it was expected. Pattern welded steel looks beautiful and the sword is well balanced so it doesn't feel too heavy. Sadly the tip was slightly smushed when it arrive, but nothing that a minute with a whetstone couldn't solve. Will be buying another blade from ryan sword again here soon. Will update or post another review once I have done some cutting.2024-08-01 03:11 -

First off I love how they had Enma from piece, I have found good things with the katana and bad things, first off when I opened the package it was presented beautifully with a great sword bag, I was examining the katana and saw that the saya was so loose from the katana that it slid in and out into the sheith, this is a crucial part that can be dangerous if loose I had to fix it by installing wood sections so it was tight, secondly the sageo was unwrapped and loose just a string so I had to wrap it, which isn’t that big of a deal but the craftsmanship on the blade was beutiful, it has probobly the best hamon I’ve seen on any katana I’ve bought, I really like Ryan katana but the saya should be tighter but overall I do like this katana2024-07-06 23:29 -

Excellent communication throughout the entire process. I ordered a customized RY1445, and Ryansword sent me pictures of my sword for verification the sword was correct before they shipped it. The tsuka is tight, the hamon is excellent, and it cuts like a razor. An excellent value, especially for an entry level sword.2024-06-30 13:05 -

This is a great nodachi. It's probably not balanced perfectly but it feels light in the hand and it does feel quite nice to swing. It has a thin profile, so the feedback for incorrect edge alignment is instant. The blade will wave and shake if swung incorrectly. The rayskin is meh but expected at the price range, and the ito is very tight. I don't have any complains with his blade. It looks and feels great2024-04-28 03:03 -

This is a good blade, but I think this one is more of a wall hanger. The handle is a bit thick and slippery. The wrappings are done where your hands do not go, so where you are holding is all glossy. Mine came with the lacquer already scratched up a little, but I think the lacquer in general is quite thin. The saya is still very sturdy and well-made (no rattle and the wood is strong). The blade looks beautiful (and I mean beautiful), but the saya is a bit cumbersome and the thick handle makes it quite hard to swing.2024-04-28 02:59 -

Absolutely love this one. The lacour on the saya chips off very easily, but I don't care. The blade profile and bohi allows for a very good sound when swinging, and the balance feels quite nice. The rayskin is better quality than the <$200 swords I have from ryanswords. The handle feels nice and I really like the design of the saya.2024-04-28 02:52 -

It is a pretty blade. Quite forward heavy, so it is not easy to wield, but please keep in mind that I am no practitioner, so I am not trained to properly wield the katana to know how it is truly supposed to feel like. The blade feels nice, the scabbard is a bit too tight, but tighter is better than loose, and the hamon looks artificial but it is pretty regardless. The rayskin is eh, but I think it is appropriate for the price. The ito is not like rock solid tight, but it is very tight and uniform.2024-04-28 02:49 -

This is a simple, yet beautiful katana with a mirror polish upon arrival. It is a bit forward heavy and the handle is narrower than other katanas, so handling is a bit challenging, but still a great sword for the price. The issue I noticed was that the wood for the scabbard is either quite moist or not finished on the inside. After some heavy sunlight, I pulled the katana out of my scabbard and it was very rusty on one side (in like 2 hours or so of staying in the scabbard). Not sure if that is normal, but it was the only katana that rusted that badly while idle.2024-04-28 02:45 -

I have had mine now for over a year and a half. There are videos out there of people chopping wood with these. (Done it.) chops well. Video slicing big metal can. (Done it) No sets. No chips. Hardly a scratch. What I had not seen was cutting through water jugs. This sword. Conan father’s sword Ryan 1359. Cut through a water jug quite easily. The sword is heavy to swing continuously. It is still as tight and put together as when I received it. The brass still looks good.2024-01-24 17:52 -

I’m still waiting on mine. I haven’t received any updates since I ordered it 25 days ago. It said at the time of order it would be shipped 12 days after I placed my order. I’ve sent 3 emails asking for an update but haven’t gotten an answer. I’m a little nervous. The sword in the pictures is beautiful, I just hope I get mine soon.2023-12-24 17:10 -

After going through the great selection of Jian swords I ran across this one. I knew I wanted this one. I have many Ryan swords and the quality is absolutely great. This is no exception. It feel great in the hands and swings with ease. Very light 6mm down to 3mm thick blade at the tip. Very pleased and definitely have many more to purchase in the future. I even sent them a description of something I had in mind and they made it perfectly. Next is battle axe. Best I have ever seen.2023-12-17 19:03 -

A beautiful and well-made tanto! It wouldn't look out of place in a museum or art exhibit with this level of craftsmanship. The shell and abalone patterning on the handle and saya are exquisite, and feel good in the hands. The tsuba is thick, rounded, and oval in cross-section, making it convenient for storage and carry. The sleek, deadly osoraku profile of the blade is expertly forged, with the clear patterning of its honsanmai structure apparent. A steep, wavy hamon line runs the length of the entire blade, like a wave across the shoreline. Overall fit and finish are almost perfect, with the buffalo horn being precisely shaped, fitted, and polished. The ONLY flaw (a miniscule nitpick on my part) is that the habaki is slightly gapped on one side. Well worth the price, can't find anything like this anywhere else. 9.999/102023-12-16 20:53
