It's easy to do. Navigation Menu. Sword Buyers Directory Our Store! SBG Sword Store. This is a dated review! The link in the above article to the "Sword Forum" shows comments and opinions made two 2 years ago. Not saying that at that time they were not accurate, just saying that Thaitsuki Nihonto should be reevaluated and a more current review posted.
I have spoken to many people that have been very impressed with their Thaitsuki, both in performance and quality. Articles that sit on the web without being updated for years, get indexed by the search engines, then show up in a search query for a product, really do not help the review process if the author does not keep the article current. This site is a great tool for the Sword buyer and I am glad it is here.
I just think it should be kept current. Yes, I sell Thaitsuki Swords! I have not posted a link to my site because I have not come here to improve traffic to my site. I came to further the art and to keep the users informed. Thanks for the site! I agree by: Jason Moore I agree with the review above me, I was hesitant to order the Thaitsuki brand because of those bad reviews. I could not have been more surprised when someone special ordered one, it came in, and it was one of the most beautiful swords I have ever seen.
Couple this with high quality ito, god-like fittings and a super sharp blade, and I think those reviews must be dated or wrong. I am now proud to be carrying the full Thaitsuki line in my online store. Jason Moore Swords of Might. Thaitsuki by: Steve Japaneseswords4Samurai I am a dealer for Thaitsuki and that gives me opportunity to experience many different swords from different manufacturers.
Thaitsuki's are expensive swords purchased by discriminating buyers and we have never had anything other than enthusiastic feedback from purchaser of these swords. Personaly I think they are the most beautiful swords currently produced. We are a dealer We all acquire them from the same places. I tested it the first time at a Tamashigeri session and it cut like a dream. I am really impressed with the quality of the blade and its fittings.
It is a really beautiful Sword and is a pleasure to practice with!!! Response by: Matt To answer the last post They have become so popular that the manufacturer cannot keep up with demand. Thaitsuki is imported into the USA by one company and every dealer who sells them has to go through that company.
So basically we are all working off of the same inventory. If one dealer is sold out, we all are. As for the Limited Ivory edition, if you want one, you should purchase soon because there are only about 10 left that have not been pre-ordered.
Lately, for any Thaitsuki item, you have to pre-order and wait for them to come instock. If you don't pre-order, you will most likely not get one. If you or anyone else has any more questions about Thaitsuki, feel free to email me at sales bladecenter.
Matt Bucknor Blade Center. Politics by: Roland I'm a karakte practisioner, and a begining swordsman, trying out the european style and some eastern beside it, and offcourse i'm looking for a katana that suits me for my sport, when i started looking for a katana, i came across those Hanwei katana's, every dealer tels me that those are the best, becouse there cheap etc etc the dude that does this site, the same, all in awe about paul chen, and hanwei. Thaitsuki makes the best katanas currently available by: Scott Kris I have been collecting Japanese swords for years and even have been fortunate enough to acquire a couple of antique Japanese swords.
I came upon Thaitsuki a couple of years ago and now own 2 of their katanas and a wakizashi. Anyone who says these swords are not that impressive is either a jealous competitor spreading misinformation or simply has never handled one. They are without a doubt the best that I have seen in their respective price ranges.
Thaitsuki Nihonto by: Jas Does anyone know if this website is legit? My thoughts I found that in almost every post there is a comment, "overpriced Thaitsuki wins. It makes me want one more. To the comment stating "Since this review was posted, Thaitsuki has improved 10 fold in there craftsmanship and quality. I will be the first to admit that there are many more than I who are who are far more knowledgeable about swords than I will ever be. But these are the facts from my company. I have been distributing these fine swords for over 6 years and have sold over of them thru the dealer network we have.
We have had a total of 6 returns 3 were back in 07 with a polishing issue on the KTN series, this was corrected at that time. One was returned due to a Saya issue, we corrected that, and the other 2 were sent back due to economic issues of the customer. Yes, these swords are on the high end of swords but the quality is superb.
Most of the posts I have seen always seem to have the words "I have read" or "I have heard" in the disqualifiers for the swords.
Please disregard the posts from SFI as these are 7 years old and all of these seem to come from one customer. Please take some time when reviewing these posts that we cannot keep these swords in stock due to their quality and surplus beauty The last statement reflects what our end users have said.
Feel free to contact us at Viking Wholesale if you have any questions about these swords. Great sword by the way! Factory direct by: Chris While it's nice that one person got thier sword factory direct, I have been waiting 4 months going on 5 for mine.
It's seems they thaisuki are not supplying there distributors. A real bummer. If it says in stock I bought, yes already paid, mine from Swords of the East. Thiatsuki by: Bale I recently spent usd for a thiatsuki because it is better to buy a katana from an established company having making classics for years.
Tonbo S04 Katana by: Anon Established since years? It took 4 months to get mine. The Hamon isn't that bad, but for the price you can certainly expect better. The Hada isn't that bad as well but for the price once again you could be well disapointed. The Yokote is a total mess with scratchs on, and it's a straight cut from the blade, thus meaning that there's almost no visible hada from that point to the very end of the kissaki.
The HA edge of the blade needs resharpening straight out of the box, there's places on the edge that don't even cut through a sheet of paper and the Hada is really faded. At that point of my personal review i won't waste any of my time writing about the saya. The blade also needed repolishing right of the saya, because it was real dirty.
The blade is also off balance from about 8 inchs from the tsuba towards the blade which could be very dangerous if you haven't carefully looked for the balance point of the sword.
To me it's not only a piece of metal to hang on the wall, it's a tool for practicing a serious martial art. I wouldn't call it a rip off, but it would be foolish to say it's worth the money I invested in that blade. That's, my friends and I opinion that this blade isn't worth the money asked for. They should sell these for a cheaper price for sure.
No feed back from the reseller after my comments to him. He didn't even argue my points. Except for the overpriced part of my lines thoughts. Thaitsuki S04 by: Anonymous I am curious where you got your S04 from, we are the USA Distributor and these swords have yet to be released to us yet, not due in until November.
Tonbo S04 Katana by: Anon From a reseller as i mentioned. I'm not here to drag him in the dirt. Still i can tell you that Thaitsuki shouldn't have that blade out of the forge. They will probably come out with a potable one once they hit the S25 limited ivory edition katana series. Ships in months. Availability date:.
The minimum purchase order quantity for the product is 1. Add to cart. The Tonbo katana S 04LE Japanese Katana is a specially handmade and forged in the Yamato Nihonto tradition, which is considered to be the oldest tradition in Japanese swordmaking.
