Ramble Time: Top 3 katana for backyard fun, learning tameshigiri, light cutting, and prettiness..

I have been asked a number times to make a list so I thought I would finally give it a go. I should also note that Skyjiro appears on my list a few times but they have had some recent trouble sending people their swords. There have been a number of complaints on their facebook page and it gives me some pause in recommending them. I think highly of their swords but their service is not something I have experienced. Please be careful where you buy. I would recommend sticking to in-stock items from reputable dealers . General backyard favorites: 3. Musashi $50 2. Hanwei Raptor 1.
