Inosuke Katana (METAL)

I absolute love the jagged edge, it's just like the anime, I don't think I will ever buy a Katana from another company other than this one. Incredible work

I really like how it looks and the amazing detail put into the sword the only downsides are that the bandages come off a little there are some poking parts and the sheath but all in all it's amazing and one of the best purchases I've made

I got the sharpened versions just for cosplay and honestly works great w a tie around for your wait

Love the weight and feel of this sword. Love inosuke so much so I needed to get it

It is a very nice sword, and makes me feel like Inosuke when I hold it, with the exception of the boar head, that would be cool, though…

This is an awesome sword and really high quality. I am definitely buying from Mini Katana again. One downside is the saya is not tight enough allowing moisture to the sword.But as a KYN fan i LOVE this sword. Def going to buy again from Mini Katana

My insosuke katana came bent I sent an email to the customer support email and the responded within a day, they were super helpful and sent me another one

Tried to write a response on my account but i couldn't. Anyways... I love him from the anime so my review is probably a little bias, but great quality and pretty sturdy. and i didn't even know that it would come with a stand so i ordered one on amazon before i bought it lol.

This incredible katana arrived today and we couldn't be happier. You can feel the great quality and the work that was put into it.
As an european customer, we were a bit worried about the shipping. However, after receiving great answers to our requests from the Mini Katana Team, we felt comfortable to order it and couldn't have made a better choice as it arrived in less than two weeks. We're absolutely in love with our new Katana so this definitely won't be our last purchase!

Recently, I purchased Inosuke’s Nichirin and I’m mostly satisfied with the quality of the blade. It holds in the hand well, swinging it is a breeze, and for a mass production China-make sword it’s not half bad.

I have complaints for the website’s lack of materials description for the sheath, the quality of the scabbard, and the brown paint(?) along the blades inner edge.

The scabbard is made to match the cloth wrappings Inosuke ties the handles with, as he has no sheath for them in the anime. But I have some issues with said sword cozy:

1. The outer shell is a shoddy foam material reinforced with a scaly, inner plastic sheet. I would have preferred (at most) a genuine leather sheath for this price. And I hope that there is such an up in quality for the battle-ready rendition.

2. The polyurethane(?) shoulder strap is an unneeded feature and further cheapened the feel of this product. Remove it. The strap gets in the way, & people would tie their own straps or leave the scabbard be if they weren’t there. This could also save your business on production costs.

3. The sheath is wider than the blade, which shifts slightly when held. This allows for debris and oxidation (rust) to accumulate. If shortened in width by a half-inch or so it might feel less unwieldy and provide greater protection. Granted, at the expense of time it takes to draw this confetti-making Nichirin.

4. Secret of the Brown Ooze.
I believe this to be rust caused by the entrance of the sheath.

5. The oil used to preserve the katana smells and feels like machine oil for sewing machines. I know that using natural oils would cause some sort of mold or growth to form, but at least explain why you choose to use these materials and the oil.

Overall, the three pin points I would like to see this company look into improving:

a. The sheath materials. Why sacrifice quality for shoddiness? I’d gladly pay the extra for natural, self-replenishing materials.

b. The shoulder strap. Sincerely, no one will be using this as an open carry self-defense weapon.

c. Shut your sword hole! One size fits most should not be on your quality control list.

d. The oil has got to go.

Thank you for bringing these swords to weebs Stateside, and I do plan to purchase another in the future as this one is lonely.

Honestly I’m in love I’ve waited so long to finally buy one an it’s just came in today I love it it’s my dream Sword an it’s amazing the craftsmanship on it it’s 10/10 it’s a good Replica 😊

This was my first sword purchase from mini katana, and I am pleased with the dull, unique and beautiful Nichirin. They wrap it up in plastic and lather the blade in oil to prevent damage. But despite this, my sheath for the sword was unfortunately damaged through delivery (as shown in pictures). I've thought about contacting them to maybe fix or replace it.

Sword came in bent at a 30 degree angle but was easy to bend back, also if you are buying this for a younger child the points of the sword are still sharp.

It's very pretty my dad got it for my cosplay. Kinda sad there's only one but planning on getting a 2nd one. I cut myself by accidentally having my finger on the only "sharp" pointy side while closing. It was very small, healed fast, and didn't honestly hurt. Also like a backpack which I lovee!

I am inosuke, this sword is very cool though, it is too bad that I look like I’m 2 though, very good at slicing, but hard to get out, oh no I am not going to tap out, father spider almost killed me… this is true indeed, but as you might now I am nothing but a little boy who jumps around like a trampeeze

I love the sword, it came in 2 days ago and my friends are already asking me to borrow it for there cosplays. I plan on doing cosplays with the sword, the cosplays don't have to be the exact character with the sword, right?

This is my second insokue nichirin I’ve ordered, and just like my first it was delivered pretty fast and the quality is A1. I absolutely love their products here!

The sword is perfect it’s just when It came in the mail the cover for the sword had a hole and was bending

Great sword it was a little unaligned but it’s unnoticeable unless you stair the handle is a little bigger than the blade so it’s a hole but other than that it’s exactly what you would want

Love it!!!! Just came in yesterday

You cant convince me that inosuke's sword looks like massive bead cutters anyways very good quality and worth it definetly worth the wait

AMAZING!!! I love mine so much and the quality is really good, I definitely recommend it :) ;)

I got two of these and they are flawless worth the 5 stars and surprisingly cheap for such a good sword!

Wow these look absolutely amazing. The price is really affordable so I'm super pleased with how high quality they are!

Love y’all’s stuff so much! Couldn’t ask for a better website to buy from!

This sword is great, feels great in the hands, also looks very nice on a wall stand. 10/10

Arrived relatively quick, awesome quality.

The sword looks great and sick. The edges are on the point side so be careful on that.

Very wonderful product. I have so much happiness with how detailed it is and the care taken to make it. Also, I absolutely LOVE the freebee in the package.

I just received this sword yesterday and omg this sword is really amazing with the details and the care put into it the only problem I had was there was a massive curve in the sword because of shipping i was able to somewhat straighten it out but it was just not fun seeing the sword curved to the right after waiting so long.

Just buy it worth it.
