Sokojikara Okami Wolf Katana With Scabbard - T10 Steel Clay Tempered, Genuine Rayskin, Brass Fittings -Length 41 3/10”

Great value for the money. I love the wolf ascetic. Functional and fancy! Very agile and light. The brass tsuba combined with the fuller makes the balance is closer to the handle. A little bit of rippling along the bo-hi of the blade, but otherwise not much at all. That doesn’t bother me because it doesn’t impact function, but some people dislike the ascetic of ripples. Nice tachikazi when swung. Very sharp. My only complaint - the Fuchi has a raised ridge which was a hot spot when handling. I removed the tsuka and filled it flush, then reassembled. The tsuka is a tight fit to the nakago and needed a rubber mallet for persuasion, but the wood was in good shape - no cracks. I am very happy with the quality of mine.

I really like this katana ,the fittings all tight,the blade has some presents ,but on the light side.Ihave bought eight sokojikars katanas,all but one from budk.The okami wolf katana I like the most.only con.was took a week to ship,but it all worked out.Getting ready to cut with the last three sokojikara katanas will up date after.Rember olly cut watter bottles,mats and bamboo,safe cutting Ray Blundell
