The lower Seppa is missing which causes the Tsuba to be lose.
The Motohaba extends beyond the habaki – Possibly because of the missing Seppa leaving an ill fit.
The kurikata caps are cheap plastic and would not hold up if I were to utilize the carry.
The blade needed sharpening. In that process, my conclusion was that this blade is not 1065 as it was too soft to hold an edge. Also in this process, the coating that makes the blade appear to be Damascus steel strips away.
In this condition, I would not trust this weapon for battle.
But more importantly, after emailing the company with a few of my concerns, and receiving no response at all, I do not feel as though this company is at all concerned with customer satisfaction.
Buyer beware
