Kogatana Minosaka

Nice quality product with only a few minor visible imperfections. Also, wish it had a bit thinner blade or a more pronounced edge. Shipping via FedEx took just three work days from Japan to Finland and they even took care of the customs declaration for a small fee, making things very easy for me. Overall a very positive experience for my first, but certainly not the last, purchase from SeidoShop.

Fits my Edo era koshire perfectly without costing more than the blade. Nice work.

Ordered the Minosaka Kogatana and received it within a week. Service and communication is top notch. Kogatana is absolutely well made and designed. Fit my tsuba and saya perfectly. I look forward to working with Seido more.

Seidoshop has again packed and shipped their products in a safe and professional manner.
Besides the individual kogatana that I received which was a little shorter than 200mm (197mm), measurements in description are correct. As does the blade itself that is al through 3mm thick which makes for a clumsy knife (if one would use it as such) even with an edge. One would need a professional (equipment) to grind some of the metal away from the blade to give it a more balanced feel to it.
Aside from al above; overall a very fine piece of koshirae from seido with a motivational inscription for further keiko.
